No I say Durant beat Kobe in points the fact that no one calls him a ball hog! Also if you look at the career stats Kevin Durant has 19.1 fg per game and 2.8 APG and Kobe has 19.6 fg per game and 4.7 APG!!! This is true and you can't argue about this and also Kobe is great shooter and he is good at shooting I don't see the point of calling him ball hog when he avereges more APG and FG than Durant too!

theres a certain idea to the concept of the Great Kobe Bryant's gameplay. You can only whisper it...otherwise in seconds it would vanish. But the idea will be displayed by results either way. During regular season u see a Kobe with fascinating plays, good stamina, and plenty of clutch moments going with that smile of his. However...playoff kobe is different. He presents a killer instinct that strikes fear in many players. A certain seriousness. Hes not a good player anymore...hes godlike

:( maybe this year ;)

your all idiots i am SICK of commenting on these kinds of videos, KOBE IS PAST HIS PRIME, BUT IN HIS PRIME HE GOT:

5 rings

a mvp

2 finals mvps

multiple scoring titles

14 time all star

5 all time scorer

And the list goes on... maybe not right now, but you are a fool and an ignorant shit basketball fan to think anyone in this league right now will ever end up greater than him.

Wait where is he "the best" right now? Oh yeah not in the playoffs.

[Vergecurtis]

how often have Kevin durant's teammates called him out for being a ball hog ?

[Mitch E]

What's with all these paragraphs :D

Career stats when you're arguing this honestly doesn't matter. Both teams systems have depended on both players, but kobe didn't do much in his first couple of years so that throws his stats out of proportions. It's like calculating Steve Nash's career assists per game. He was backup for 5 years before he actually had the chance to become the great passer he is today. If you cut his first 5 years out he would average something like 10.3 APG.

i think it has more to do with kobe being a closer. those seven footers, even though theyr amazing, cant do it all on their own as wierd as that sounds. kobe is the best player on the team because he grew up with one on one. he still averages more assists than kevind durant. but id say that lebron is an overall more effective player because he gets a lot of assists, a lot of points, and a lotta rebounds. but when it comes to coming clutch and championship gameplay, id choose bryant

the reason ppl call kobe the most overrated player in the world

well look at the supporting casts they both have u numnut. if u r a sidekick and have two 7ft monsters ready to bail u out all day, u better shoot less and assist 10+ per game. the fact is kobe shotjacks like fuk with his ego n destroys the team with fuked up apg u asswipe.
