He needs to stop putting Steph and Kobe in the same sentence, he had an argument about Steph being the best ever, dumbest take ever, Kobe was an offensive juggernaut and an elite defender, Steph will Never reach that echelon.

Takes like these are why Shaq can’t be taken seriously as a commentator Idc, how do you have Steph over Kobe let alone Bron/MJ/Kareem tier (Kenny at least reaffirms this point)

I think Kobe is one of the GOATs specifically over LBJ , LeBron’s longevity and total accumulative stats is why most put LeBron over Kobe.
If you actually break down their games Kobe is more skilled and is a far better offensive player with more ways to kill you , he can post you . pump fake you and spin and hit the fadeaway over you or he can drive to the rim and lay it up or dunk on you.
The degree of difficult shots Kobe takes and makes shows you he is a better shooter.
Do not let FG% fool you LeBron gets most his points in the paint with lay-ups dunks and put-backs…out side of 3 feet from the rim , LeBron’s FG% is 34-37% for his entire career. Kobe gets double teamed …LeBron , teams dare him to shoot.
Kobe is a 2-way player and defensively he can check you.
This is not a knock on LBJ but his best attribute is his body he posts you steps back and runs full steam a head to the basket . I honestly do not even know if LeBron has a go to move ?
I can only think of the awkward turn around fadeaway off one leg like Dirk used to do or the LeFu*k you three lol.
Kobe will embarrass you while LeBron will bully you.
Kobe to me and any hooper will easily be able to see who waz more skilled.

Kobe is the closest clone to MJ

Well he just put Steph over Kobe. I hate him for glazing warriors and picking them over lakers for last year semi finals.

that 2022 finals was hell for lakers fans lmao either boston wins or Steph starts getting put ahead of Kobe in rankings. I got Steph in my top 10 but IMO hes at the back end (top 8-10).

I’ll never get tired of Shaq backing Kobe up in these conversations (whether it’s justified or not)
Not for debate sake, but because that’s Shaq’s guy. Especially ever since he passed away.
Man..

For Kobe sake , he was the best in a different era . He won championships in an era of some of the best to ever exist . Game was different then before the 3pt game it is today . As a player in general Kobe is insane the team just made bad desperate moves to win , that ruined his later years .

Steph is not greater than Magic, Duncan, Bird, or even Shaq himself (not to mention Wilt, Russell or Hakeem).
He’s gotta pass up a lot of guys before being mentioned in the same sentence as Kobe.
