Wade: "Kobe Is Greatest Of Our Era"

[gengiskhan]

gengis just stop posting here on ISH. Can't believe you left out SHAQ and u call yourself a basketball fan... GTFO

WTF are you talking about.

Shaq is at No. 8 GOAT cuz of his own laziness & weight gain & toying around.

Had he developed 50% of Kobe's work ethics & seriousness towards the Bball, He would've easily had 3 MVPs, 4 FMVPs, 3 DPOYs atleast & higher GOAT position.

duh


Sporting News NBA Athlete of the Decade (2000s)
TNT NBA Player of the Decade (2000s)
Sports Illustrated Top 20 Male Athlete of the Decade (2000s) #7 (the only NBA player in the top 10)
Ranked #1 in Dime Magazine's 2012 list of the top 10 greatest players since the year 2000 (published in the September 2012 issue)

All this yet barely top 50 according to ISH

Correct.

Because both are the products of their franchises.

Duncan is a product of popovich led SAS franchise.

Kobe is a product of Jackson led LAL franchise.

Shaq's 3 straight DOMINATING NBA FINALS FMVPs is an example of UTTER DOMINANCE!. Phil jackson can never be credited for it.

Duncan & Kobe were never close.

so if LeBron was to win 3 more in a row it would be a result of a franchise led by Pat Riley? Please leave these forums, now.

One of the least informed, ignorant-offensive posts in recent memory.

Shaq and KG

Shaq debuted in 1992.

He is a 90s decade player btw, the era of GREAT CENTERS.

so is Mourning

get your dates & decades right!

and then I saw your avatar

Umn Yeah Lebron has been better for Years already and will be best Player in NBA for at least another 5 or 6 years..

[talkingconch]

Notice lebron stans are left speechless even after hearing it from one of their top players mouth

[NumberSix]

sick life

[Y2Gezee]

This guy has bad judgement.

From a recent thread...if you can draft any player in history...you draft Shaq. And he's not even better than Kobe freakin Bryant? Yeah, Kobe may be a more skilled player, but he's certainly not "Greater" than Shaquille O'neal. That's blasphemous to me.


And I'd take Duncan too. If Kobe had Duncan's personality, and wasn't such of a media attraction...this wouldn't be close. He's a great great player, but certainly not greater than those 2.

[Magic 32]

Kobe is a product of Jackson led LAL franchise.

How many championships does Jordan, Pippen, Shaq and Kobe have without Phil Jackson?

1

[imnew09]

LBJ & Kobe & Duncan are the only ones in Top 15 GOATs.

besides. LBJ, other 2 wont be in Top 10 GOATs.

the rest of the 12 in Top 15 are loaded with 1980s & 1990s era SUPERSTARs.

You're contradicting yourself, u just LEFT OUT SHAQ HERE, and then you mentioned him later just get out. you're disgracing ish as a whole.

[The Iron Fist]

He also KNows Lebron will pass Kobe but would be ballsy to say Lebron is the best of the Era. He is paying Homage to Kobe being an Elder statesmen plus having 5 ships..

1-2 in the finals with 6 wins and 9 losses. Thanks lebron!

vs

5-2 in the finals.

So you think Lebron is going to win 5 more titles?

[The Iron Fist]

2000 - present is the WEAKEST superstar DEPLETED era since 1970s btw.

when the fundamentals are weak, kobe obviously is the one with good solid fundamentals & will look the best of the era despite FAILING to dominate the NBA finals & loosing multiple NBA Finals because he CHOKED.

I guess the 1 consolation MVP for 17 seasons is good enough to dominate Wade's Era because he got 0 season MVPs.

So then what does that say about lebron who is 1 and 2 in the finals with a sweep and scoring 10 ppg less than his season average?

[The Iron Fist]

Correct.

And Magic, Bird and Jordan aren't products of their franchises?



lol Shaq. You mean the same Shaq who has zero finals wins before Kobe and Phil? That shaq?
