Kobe Bryant-The Greatest in Greatest of All Time

[JohnnyWall]

And that Kobe's best Finals performance was absolutely crushed by LBJs in the previous series because Orlando don't try against LeBron?

When did LeBron face the Magic in the finals?

Please don't compare playoffs to the Finals.

[32Dayz]

That Magic team was weak as hell and had no perimeter defense.

Lebron only lost to them because he didn't have a Gasol to shut Dwight down like Kobe did.

Kobe Stan Translation : Please dont compare Playoffs to Finals we all know how much Kobe usually sucks in the Finals.

[LBJFTW]

Does it really need to be quoted AGAIN? I thought we already covered this on these boards. Do a search next time before making such a ridiculous claim.

lawl ringless nash who never went to a finals has two and also more MVPs than Shaq and as much as Karl Malone!


MVP Is a popularity contest. Kobe deserves atleast 4 MVPs if the voters actually gave the award to the best player and not just the most marketable story.

In popularity.

Kobe > Nash.

[32Dayz]

@ Kobe deserving 4 MVP's.

He only had 2 years where you could argue with he was the MVP of the league.

06 + 07.

The rest he was never even close to having a case for the Award.

Kobe destruction here:

Not even fair, poor little self appointed nicknamed mamba. Every kind of stat proves Jordan was streets ahead of Kobe.

Jacks3 police, thank you for the constant updates

When did LeBron face the Magic in the finals?

The games were three days apart. You guys are talking about the exact same teams the exact same week.

LeBron had one of the most spactacular and ridiculous games ever played. I just remember Kenny, Chuck and everyone after the game stunned, saying you can't just post a guy at the ft line and have him win the game for you. It just can't happen. We'll see how it works for LA now that coach Brown is over there...

[Soundwave]

The "greatest in greatest of all time" doesn't get swept in the playoffs by the Mavericks like a b-tch. Sorry.

It's going to be funny when the Heat win and everyone proclaims LeBron as the greatest of all time.
