Uh-oh...brace yourself for the Kobe Troll Brigade!

And at West getting past Oscar.

Kobe.

Uh-oh...brace yourself for the Kobe Troll Brigade!

I, for one, welcome our Kobe Troll overlords.

[ThaSwagg3r]

Kobe Bryant has my vote. Kobe has surpassed West ever since he won his first championship as the lead dog in 2009.

btw, kblaze, I made a Reggie Miller thread that I think you should contribute in.

I, for one, welcome our Kobe Troll overlords.

Of course you do, being one yourself.

[L.Kizzle]

Somebody made a West/Kobe thread a few days ago. Don't know why though.

[Heavincent]

Okay Captain Butthurt.

[RRR3]

Okay Captain Butthurt.

I'll honestly say that i haven't seen west play but i simply can't see any argument that can be made in his favor against kobe.

Therefore ill go wit kobe

[Heavincent]

Thanks for proving my point Captain.

[necya]

i vote for West, knowing he has no chance on this forum.

[Rnbizzle]

Kobe is easily the better player.

[Clippersfan86]

Super tough pick. I'll go Kobe . Jerry West called Kobe the greatest Laker player of all time not long ago too. Kobe also called Jerry the GOAT Laker... but since then Kobe passed him up as the best scorer in Lakers history and we have to remember Kobe's got at least another 2-3 seasons at an all star level. He's moving up that scoring list quickly.

That would be me.

I was specifically talking about who is the #2 shooting guard of all-time though. I was going for statstics, mostly .
