Hey hey, no one's denying what Kobe's capable of. Kobe just has a great amount of selfishness in his game. EGO is all I have to say... just make sure you pay attention to past games. I don't think he can even comprehend the thought of even passing a ball.
You will never see LeBron having a 'showdown' with another player. He's always making plays that include his teammates. Now, I've played and followed basketball for many years in my life and things like that in Kobe aggravate me, to be honest.
Don't get me wrong, Kobe has a killer instinct. And don't give me this championship rings BS because I could give you a list of people "better" than Michael Jordan according to that.
No one at LeBron's age has had that kind of performance. Whether you want to admit it or not, LeBron understands the game better than Kobe. I don't want to hear all about Kobe's accomplishments either... LeBron's only 23 years old. Simply put, LeBron is the caring leader of his team and Kobe is an individual player.
It's obvious you've only watched Cleveland Cavaliers' games because everything you just said is totally debatable and subject to being misinformed.
IF you had been watching any of the Lakers' games this year, you wouldn't state such ridiculous nonsense. Kobe has evolved into a very great TEAM player. For your information he handed out 9 dimes on Wednesday night. That means he passed the ball many times and 9 of those times the other player scored.
When you base a discussion on past years it has no validity, in my opinion. It's clear that like so many other haters, that you don't really like KOBE.
...and why did you bring Jordan's name into it. I think you just want to start stuff.
It is not totally true that LeBron is this complete team player either. I've seen games where he scored 40 or more points and the Cavs lost the game. Can we say individual player, about that? Ahhh, yes, I think so.
Kobe has a talented team around him who can flat out score the ball and they and he knows what each of their jobs are on the court. I think before you quote what you once knew of Kobe, you should have watched a few of his games this year.
Oh, and your saying that you've known basketball for years means nothing...and I didn't say ANYTHING about RINGS. What is your argument? Why are you instigating?
I have also known basketball for years and I've watched both players do their thing on the court.
As I stated before, you are not inclined to agree with my opinion and knowledge of Kobe's game and I will definitely not be inclined to agree with your opinion of same.
First and foremost...LeBron isn't even playing...so why did you feel the need to put Kobe down? Oh, don't answer that. I already know the answer...because you can.
The Conference Finals are ongoing and to alert you to the facts...the teams playing are Boston Celtics vs. Detroit Pistons and Los Angeles Lakers vs. San Antonio Spurs...try to stay on the right page.
Pick a player that's IN IT TO WIN IT.
LeBron is not IN IT, I don't care what you have to say about him.
Goodbye.
