One thing BOTH Kobe Bryant and LeBron James should be recognized and praised for...

[RRR3]

Being the two players who were best able to live up to the hype of being "the next Michael Jordan"


Love them or hate them, Kobe and LeBron are both two of the very best to ever play this game, and while neither are Jordan, both are amongst the top 5-15 players ever, depending on who you ask. We're talking bout guys who put up 35/5/5, 30/7/6, 31/7/7, 30/7/9..video game stats. Both were very well rounded players as well. Two legends

Durant surpassed them both at age 25.

Durant is the only hope left for our generation to have a player as good as MJ

Durant is the only player left with a chance

Kobe surpassed expectations and surpassed Jordan with ease. LeBald became a homeless mans MJ.

Durant is unlikely to ever surpass either of them.

T-Mac isn't even in the same universe as Wade. One season's stats don't mean jack. Look at career averages, look at playoff performances. Finals.
