Hi.Big time Kobe fan here but is his drop off the biggest ever in NBA history?

[West-Side]

Because he went from arguably #1 to what he's now in 7 whole years? Are you kidding, this is like half the career of lots of players. How about 1998 Jordan vs 2005 Jordan? 1999 Malone vs 2006 Malone? 1995 Hakeem vs 2002 Hakeem?

Not even a top-100 (or even much lower) drop off. Actually, a way above the average drop off, considering the age.

Can't have it both ways.
Either Wade was better in 06 because of winning the ring and dominant finals.
Or Lebron was better in 09 and '10 because of superior stats and MVPs.

he said arguably, as in you can make a case for him, which shouldn't be disputed...just as Lebron and Wade were arguably the best players during those years, there isn't a definitive answer.

the double standard here is hilarious

"wade has an argument over Kobe in 06 because he won a title/FVMP and Kobe was just putting up monster stats on a mediocre team"


"wade has an argument over Kobe in 09 because he was putting up monster stats on a mediocre team even though Kobe won a title/FMVP"

Exactly, therefore Kobe was either the best in 06 or 09, but not BOTH years.

Thanks for playing.
