@Vergecurtis It's a close call; he's certainly top 12 or so. Jordan, Bird, Magic, Russell, Kareem, Wilt, Oscar, and West (maybe) are all ahead of him. Then you have Shaq, Olajuwon, Duncan, all of whom are at the same level or so. Then who? You really can't put Barkley, Malone, etc. ahead of him. So Kobe could possibly squeak into the top 10.
@cyrustg well, Moses Malone, karl malone, bob pettit, charles barkley and
David Robinson needs a serious consideration for being better then kobe. ofcourse kobe have all the acomplishments that are needed to be a top 10 of all time, but me personally it is about you personally does for your team to win that ring. because teams win championships not players. and lebron will probably pass kobe in the all time greatest list when his career is over.
@Vergecurtis No. Karl Malone, Barkley and Robinson are clearly below Bryant; their resumes are much more thin. They're top 20 or so. Petit and Moses, maybe.
@cyrustg i don't want to say clearly, because if you wanted to start a team who would you pick ? kobe is a shotjacker and a guy that is often a problem in the locker room.
@Vergecurtis Ya, that's true. Kobe is a ball hog and doesn't always get along with people. But the same was said for Michael Jordan. If I wanted to start a team, I would pick Magic Johnson.
@megatroll i respect ur opinion and i love jerry west as a player,and general manager , and his skills are that of legend and hall of fame but although he averaged more points kobe is ahead of jerry west in the soring list and championships KB-5 JW-1 although if it wasnt for the 60's celtics he'd hav at least 4; but kobe's individual scoring is great and if he passes jordan he'll be the greatest scoring SG and Guard of all time
@imfreeinfinity correction although many hall of famers wore tat laker jersey Mr.Bryant IS the greatest laker of all time and by the end of his career, probably a top 5 player; i noe many players had skills tat kobe didnt hav but kobe has skills unmatched by anyone ever since jordan left
if u can find a profilic scorer with 5 titles who is 6th on the scoring list a certified legend and numerous scoring records besides MJ, im all ears other than tat stop hatin nd respect the great player he is
Firstly, Bryant is a fantastic player, but not even in the top 5 players of all time. At best, when all is said and done, a #8 is possible. Secondly, if you like it or not, but Jerry West was a far more valuable player than Bryant ever was. West averaged more PPG and is arguably the most accurate shooter from the field in NBA history.
It's time you climb of your fanboy pedestrial and come back to reality kid.
People should stop comparing who's better. you are wasting your time. some one will always rival your opinon because this is subjective. If you think Kobe is better then he is. If a person thinks otherwise then let it be. You will never get everybody to agree with you on this stop wasting time and energy. It's funny to see people pulling out stat sheets. A few things are certain. Kobe is hall of famer, He is a champion, and his jersey will be retired as one of the greatest lakers of all time.
@imfreeinfinity its not whose better or not, its about what hes like. Kobe hes a fuckwit. hes a pompus dipshit who needs to respect his fans. regardless of how good you are. kobe is a faker, not a laker
Anyway, I know very well if I would ask you who is better between Michael Jordon and Jerry West, you'd say MJ. Well you can't compare Michael to jerry west. Two different eras.
@H0lyPh3n0m Actually, no. Your basing opinions on false accusations. I would have said that the two are very iconic men who have changed the way people look at basketball and leave it at that.
@H0lyPh3n0m No, at least I don't think so. I don't think there is a single greatest player whose played the game. Everyone brings something different to the game, and that's what makes it great; the versatility.
@pacmanisapatriotfan lol how? You can even ask Magic and Larry and they'll say Michael is the greatest of all time. Do you want me to pull the stat sheet out to show you who's better? or do you want to hear from Larry and Magic's own words?
@H0lyPh3n0m using quotes is kinda dumb cause jerry west says kobe is the greatest laker of all time . Do you believe that. There is not one thing that Magic's game was more well rounded then jorda. People think jordan is the greatest of all time because he scored way more then anybody. They forget before pippen he had 3 losing seasons was swept twice in the playoffs had one overall win the playoffs 1-10. Magic came to a 29 game win team and made them a 61 win team magic came to a 47 win team
@H0lyPh3n0m No one has won one alone BUT magic and bird effected the win/loss column more then jordan ever did. Plus to you just implied no player wins alone well that's what magic was trien to do in 91 with two starters out.
BTW, By the time magic showed up at the lakers door step kareem was no longer 30 and 10 kareem
@H0lyPh3n0m um kobe is the best ball player ever he the 4th person that score more then other people there only three people that scored more points then kobe one is jordan i dont no who the other two are but kobe will soon be number one at most points
@H0lyPh3n0m He might have more points, but you have to take into account that there was no three point line, if there was Jerry might have 4-8k more points.
@NBAGOATS Dude please re-read what you just posted. You get more points on a suckier team. If you play on a better team you get less points. Because your team can carry themselves. Do you understand?
Playing on a suckier team means you have to carry the team, with more points.
If you play on a better team you don't have to carry the team.
Do you get it?
So if Lebron played on the lakers, he would have 25k points in probably 14-16 years. Idk for sure. But ti would take time.
Are you kidding me when we got rid of Vlade Divac for Kobe that was phenomenal i was jumping. And remember thyis was done before Shaq was signed. One of the most brilliant trades ever. I wantedVlade out anyway to make room for Shaq.
im sorry this might offend some people but jerry west is stupid for say lebron surpassed kobe thats just dumb and they need to take him off the logo (no because of what he said) but just change it up put mj or kobe or magic on it for a new look
Jerry West the Logo is the Best! Might sound corny nut its the down right truth! Not really a Kobe fan but like West I have to give credit where it's due. Did anyone know Jerry West plays Poker?!
Listen carefully to what Jerry West said. Ellie Seckbach, since he is a big Kobe fan, shouldn't have posted this video. For Ellie is blind and deaf to what other people are saying, because for him Kobe is the greatest basketball player of all time and not the best in this era only, as what Jerry West was trying to say.
Lebron might be stronger than Kobe..that i agreed but better basket ball player? I don't think so......fuck you Jerry West you don't know shit, when comment Lebron surpassed Kobe...Lebron is so over rated.
Jerry West doesnt know shit when he said "Lebron surpass Kobe." How could he surpass Kobe when Kobe still dominant the court. Kobe is quicker than Lebron, have better moves than lebron, and most importantly he's a better shooter and when his team behind you can rely on Kobe to make the last shot. Just because Lebron made the shot at the buzzer and saved Cavs in game two doesn't mean he's the best. His team was way ahead in the beginning and the let Orlando came back. Then in game 3 he's way off.
we'll see what you say after lebron goes down to the magic because he's a one style go to the basket player,and kobe beats the magic cause he does it all,all kobe has is flukish spot up shooters + gasol,lebron has two playmakers in west and mo,he has big ben,big z,junkyard dog,varejao,kobe has gasol and a hurt bynum,everybody else are spot shooters
But havent u see? Verejao and Big Ben are just Defenders. And ilgauskas,west,willians all has been shooting around 30% from the field goal. So Lebron James has been carriyng his team and thats why he has beeen scoring 40+ points and still loosing. Kobe is lucky he got gasol,odom and ariza who has been scoring 20+ points in clucth
YOU GUYS LATCH ON TO THE HYPE TOO QUICKLY LOL ,DID YOU SEE THE PHILLY SERIES?EVEN IGOUDALA IS BETTER THAN JAMES ,HE STOLE GM1 HE WON GM3 SHOULDA HAD GM4 WHICH WOULDA PUT IGOUDALA UP 3-1 in the series,but hedo made that miracle 3 which tied the series, EVEN THOUGH IGOUDALA ONLY HAS HALF THE TEAM LEBRON HAS. DRE DAY NUEVE IS UNDERRATED AND LEBRON's OVERRATED, KOBE IS THE KING .
Well kobe haved all the help he needed. How cool is when ur superstar player scores just 20 points and 7 tournovers and they win by 8? I hope lebron has does awesome teammates.
thats why the lakers win more gms now,because kobe notices that its better to pass the ball and score twenty with the win,than to score 40 or 50 and force each and every play.Lebron has alot too learn.
have you seen the problem is magic has the defender of the year,have you seen IGOUDALA has half the team LEBRON has and philly could have went up 3-1 in that series,so stop making excuses LJ's overrated.
im a diehard kobe fan but i think jordan is number one and kobe very close 2nd. Jordan got 6 rings that means he dominated the nba 6 championships ppl think about that jesus man but kobe 2nd and better than lebron cuz 81 pts in game and 3 rings
kobe can thank Shaq for those 3 rings, he did not lead his team to a championship, he has always needed a dominant center to get deep in the playoffs to this day. MJ never had a Shaq, or Gasol, or a Bynum. not only that, kobe scored 81 pts on a 27-55 canadian team in a weak defensive era different from MJ's time. kobe is not even 2nd to MJ, he may look like it when he tries to copy his game but definitely top 20 of alltime.
wtf you talking about jordan also had kucoc fuckin pippen harper and kerr haha u idiot that was a phenomenal team and the raptors are a professional team these are professionals at what they do and thats basketball jesus christ give credit where its do he scored 81! Jordans the shit but kobe is in the top 5 not 20 dipshit and shaq took all the shots at la kobe had to be second shaq bullied his way to the rim thats not bball he couldnt shoot all he could do was push ppl and dunk KOBE2
weak comment dude, how am i the idiot when u have no idea what ur talking about? the players u listed: kukoc,pippen,harper,kerr, did they play the center position?! NO! over the last 25 years, teams have won rings with good to dominant centers, which MJ never had, which makes that a rare thing. obviously u didnt detect my sarcasm of "canadian team", i know the Raptors are a professional team, it was the simple fact of being the only team outside the US, plus they sucked (27-55).
So this is the single defining stat "81pts" that makes kb better than MJ or Lebron. please, what about what kb hasnt done, the fact that Lebron has played half the amount of years that kobe has played and he has more triple doubles than kb, Lebron is breaking records at a younger age than kb did, Lebron had better career stats in scoring, rebs, asts, steals,and blocks in the reg season and playoffs,led his team to the finals at the age of 22. and dont get me started on why kb isnt even 2nd to MJ
heres a stat for you since you like stats,what happens every time they meet?kobe comes out victorious,nuff said,all lebron has is explosiveness to the basket,kobe has it all.
naw man not at all yes lebron is breaking records at a younger age and is developing quicker some of kobes late develpment was contributed to shaq and his selfishness with the team and the shots.Lebron is stellar but he is also much bigger, stronger, taller, and can jump higher and there hasnt ever been a player with his physique who could move like kobe and jordan so thats why hes tougher to guard. Kobe is the better all-round player period. Lebron in the open court but kobe most
yes without a doubt kobe is the top player, but Lebron is the better all-around player, career wise, Lebron has a better assist, rebound, block, steal, and scoring average. Lebron has played half the seasons of kobe and has more triple doubles than him.
its all about the wins and kobe's an expert at that.you need to come down lebrons tree,why?because igoudala has half the team lebron has and he gave the magic way more of a challenge then lebron did.think about that,brons overrated.dre day nueve stole gm 1 in orlando won gm 3,and coulda went up 3 -1 but hedo made a big 3
shaq can thank kobe,what happened when he was in orlando shaq that is,who's the dominant center now?or last yr?bynum was hurt last yr this yr he's 50%,also mj had a PIPPEN one of the nba's chosen top 50 of all time,i'll give you the weak defensive era but when you say canadian you act like it wasnt nba mostly american players not one canadian was playing for the raptors,nobody's second to jordan but nobody's second to kobe either,get my picture?
what does ur question about Shaq in Orlando have to do with anything about this topic? what im saying is, in the last 25 or so years in the NBA, the Champs of each season never had a guard to lead his team to a ring with sorry centers which makes MJ unique. ok...like i told the other guy about the canadian team...its SARCASM!!, my goodness! kobe no doubt is the top player right now, but he's not so great that he has seperated himself from players like Lebron and Wade.
kobe by far is better then bron or wade,why?because if you take lj's drives to the basket he's nuthing same with wade,now kobe drives to the basket and if you take that away from him he kills you from the outside,which he prefers anyway.
lol of course kobe wasnt top 10 in the draft... c-mon elie he was a lanky kid str8 outta HS... people wanted college kids, the iversons, marbury's ray allens
I like how Jerry West has a lot of respect for Kobe. He's always been Kobe's mentor, from the epic trade in 96 till now. There's nothing wrong with Jerry West respecting Kobe's game.
he's on Kobe's balls obviously. i think everyone knows he gave the Lakers Gasol for NOTHING, to help them win. that trade should have been rejected by david stern, it was so unfair
That doesn't even make sense. Jerry West retired July 2007 from the grizzlies and the NBA. Before the season the Lakers traded for Gasol started. So you are way off.
Kobe's probably top 10 all-time. To say he's the best ever or second best, is to overrate him.

1/5 - LeBron is the best player on the planet.

we'll see what you say after lebron goes down to the magic because he's a one style go to the basket player,and kobe beats the magic cause he does it all,all kobe has is flukish spot up shooters + gasol,lebron has two playmakers in west and mo,he has big ben,big z,junkyard dog,varejao,kobe has gasol and a hurt bynum,everybody else are spot shooters
sanjuanpapi 2 years ago
But havent u see? Verejao and Big Ben are just Defenders. And ilgauskas,west,willians all has been shooting around 30% from the field goal. So Lebron James has been carriyng his team and thats why he has beeen scoring 40+ points and still loosing. Kobe is lucky he got gasol,odom and ariza who has been scoring 20+ points in clucth

yes because orlando is very very good

But I still think cavs are going to win tonight at orlando and then game 7 at home.
yassinelrey 2 years ago
thats why the lakers win more gms now,because kobe notices that its better to pass the ball and score twenty with the win,than to score 40 or 50 and force each and every play.Lebron has alot too learn.

have you seen the problem is magic has the defender of the year,have you seen IGOUDALA has half the team LEBRON has and philly could have went up 3-1 in that series,so stop making excuses LJ's overrated.
sanjuanpapi 2 years ago
im a diehard kobe fan but i think jordan is number one and kobe very close 2nd. Jordan got 6 rings that means he dominated the nba 6 championships ppl think about that jesus man but kobe 2nd and better than lebron cuz 81 pts in game and 3 rings
jablez69 2 years ago
kobe can thank Shaq for those 3 rings, he did not lead his team to a championship, he has always needed a dominant center to get deep in the playoffs to this day. MJ never had a Shaq, or Gasol, or a Bynum. not only that, kobe scored 81 pts on a 27-55 canadian team in a weak defensive era different from MJ's time. kobe is not even 2nd to MJ, he may look like it when he tries to copy his game but definitely top 20 of alltime.
AgentCirrus 2 years ago
wtf you talking about jordan also had kucoc fuckin pippen harper and kerr haha u idiot that was a phenomenal team and the raptors are a professional team these are professionals at what they do and thats basketball jesus christ give credit where its do he scored 81! Jordans the shit but kobe is in the top 5 not 20 dipshit and shaq took all the shots at la kobe had to be second shaq bullied his way to the rim thats not bball he couldnt shoot all he could do was push ppl and dunk KOBE2
jablez69 2 years ago
weak comment dude, how am i the idiot when u have no idea what ur talking about? the players u listed: kukoc,pippen,harper,kerr, did they play the center position?! NO! over the last 25 years, teams have won rings with good to dominant centers, which MJ never had, which makes that a rare thing. obviously u didnt detect my sarcasm of "canadian team", i know the Raptors are a professional team, it was the simple fact of being the only team outside the US, plus they sucked (27-55).
AgentCirrus 2 years ago
So this is the single defining stat "81pts" that makes kb better than MJ or Lebron. please, what about what kb hasnt done, the fact that Lebron has played half the amount of years that kobe has played and he has more triple doubles than kb, Lebron is breaking records at a younger age than kb did, Lebron had better career stats in scoring, rebs, asts, steals,and blocks in the reg season and playoffs,led his team to the finals at the age of 22. and dont get me started on why kb isnt even 2nd to MJ

heres a stat for you since you like stats,what happens every time they meet?kobe comes out victorious,nuff said,all lebron has is explosiveness to the basket,kobe has it all.
sanjuanpapi 2 years ago
naw man not at all yes lebron is breaking records at a younger age and is developing quicker some of kobes late develpment was contributed to shaq and his selfishness with the team and the shots.Lebron is stellar but he is also much bigger, stronger, taller, and can jump higher and there hasnt ever been a player with his physique who could move like kobe and jordan so thats why hes tougher to guard. Kobe is the better all-round player period. Lebron in the open court but kobe most
jablez69 2 years ago
yes without a doubt kobe is the top player, but Lebron is the better all-around player, career wise, Lebron has a better assist, rebound, block, steal, and scoring average. Lebron has played half the seasons of kobe and has more triple doubles than him.
AgentCirrus 2 years ago
its all about the wins and kobe's an expert at that.you need to come down lebrons tree,why?because igoudala has half the team lebron has and he gave the magic way more of a challenge then lebron did.think about that,brons overrated.dre day nueve stole gm 1 in orlando won gm 3,and coulda went up 3 -1 but hedo made a big 3
sanjuanpapi 2 years ago
shaq can thank kobe,what happened when he was in orlando shaq that is,who's the dominant center now?or last yr?bynum was hurt last yr this yr he's 50%,also mj had a PIPPEN one of the nba's chosen top 50 of all time,i'll give you the weak defensive era but when you say canadian you act like it wasnt nba mostly american players not one canadian was playing for the raptors,nobody's second to jordan but nobody's second to kobe either,get my picture?
sanjuanpapi 2 years ago
what does ur question about Shaq in Orlando have to do with anything about this topic? what im saying is, in the last 25 or so years in the NBA, the Champs of each season never had a guard to lead his team to a ring with sorry centers which makes MJ unique. ok...like i told the other guy about the canadian team...its SARCASM!!, my goodness! kobe no doubt is the top player right now, but he's not so great that he has seperated himself from players like Lebron and Wade.
AgentCirrus 2 years ago
kobe by far is better then bron or wade,why?because if you take lj's drives to the basket he's nuthing same with wade,now kobe drives to the basket and if you take that away from him he kills you from the outside,which he prefers anyway.

I like how Jerry West has a lot of respect for Kobe. He's always been Kobe's mentor, from the epic trade in 96 till now. There's nothing wrong with Jerry West respecting Kobe's game.

@scorpionsmaster198 Unfortunately Kobe is number 12.

he's on Kobe's balls obviously. i think everyone knows he gave the Lakers Gasol for NOTHING, to help them win. that trade should have been rejected by david stern, it was so unfair
Rodzilla97 3 years ago
That doesn't even make sense. Jerry West retired July 2007 from the grizzlies and the NBA. Before the season the Lakers traded for Gasol started. So you are way off.
