:pimp:


27ppg x 82 games x 4 years = 8,856 points

31,617 + 8,856 = 40,473



1st and only player in nba history to hit 40k?

:bowdown:

please god no more injuries. having 40k while mj stays stuck almost 10k less career points would be toooooo funny

lol i did didn't i... know why? cause people have been predicting his output/stats would decline ever since 2005

every single year after that 3rd team all nba fluke people have said its over for him

in 2008,2009,2010,2011,2012 he had a different injury every single year and it never cost him a thing

2013 was the first time in a while he didn't have a damn thing wrong with him all year and it ended up being one of his 3-4 most efficient years in his career


kobe will put up 26-27ppg even blindfold in a wheel chair with only his left hand to shoot and every finger broken on it

Thats his fault. College is great, but baseball is lack of passion. Cant fault kobe for focus, you dont see him retiring to go play soccer do you?

[SilkkTheShocker]

Sweet. His days winning as "the man" and being in contention for MVPs are over though. Like I said, the guy is nothing more than a sideshow at this point. Watch him shoot 30 times a night while his team fights for the 7/8th seed.

[Lakers2877]

That's actually what I see happening here. I think Kobe ends up leaving the Lakers and goes to a mediocre Eastern Conference team and ends his career bombing away chasing the greatest individual accomplishment in pro basketball. And as a Laker fan I would wish him nothing but the best. Unless he was playing the Lakers. Then he can F off

Thats his fault. College is great, but baseball is lack of passion. Cant fault kobe for focus, you dont see him retiring to go play soccer do you?

So going into his 18th NBA season Kobe can't even surpass the achievements of a guy who had a lack of passion for basketball?

Kobe must suck more than I thought. Thanks for the heads up.

its way harder to be an elite 25+ppg player for 20 years than it is to be a 30ppg player for 13 years and fall off to 20ppg in your 14th and 15th year and forced into retirement

if michael jordan was drafted onto a contender behind another allstar and forced to be a 6th man. he would be around 25ppg too.

its waaaaaaaaay harder to become all time leading scorer when you had to ride the bench your first 2 years, then play behind someone for the first 8 years of your career

if jordan did that with his crap longevity. he'd barely have 25k instead of 32k


if kobe was #1 option from day 1.. and never played with shaq. kobe would be hitting 50k by his 20th year



kobe had a big disadvantage. yet he's still gonna become all time record holder for the best achivement in pro basketball

its much much much harder to be great for 20 years


and its not even like jordan did anything different. jordans ppg are only so high cause of the pace in the 80's, and his team sucking

for the most part of jordans competitive contending career he was right around where kobe was at 28ppg




jordan averaged like 23 shots per game for his career. kobe averaged 19 shots per game for his career

thats why hes taking longer to pass him. because kobe isnt nearly as big a hog

but he did have twice the longevity and sustained greatness

:lolwut

First of all, kobe has not been a 25ppg man for 20 years. He's played 17 seasons and 12 have been 25 ppg+ and he may never have another one depending on the injury. If you're taking it as a career average, Jordan was 30.1 over 15 seasons, kobe 25.5 over 17 (so far). Jordan averaged 3.3 more fga over his career, but kobe averaged 2.2 more 3p fga over his career. So the overall gap is 2.2 fga per game adjusting for that (which is about 1 point per game if you take their normal fg%).

During championship seasons Jordan averaged 30.5 ppg and kobe averaged about 28.5, so cut the crap about bad teams.

I know you love jerking off over kobe, but there is no comparison whatsoever between him and Jordan.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Bean's on the court impact obviously isn't worth anywhere close to the max BUT dude has a HUGE fan base (err, cult) so he can make lots of money for a franchise regardless of that.

are you stupid... ppg is an average

kobes 17 year average is 25.5ppg


he said he will play atleast 3 more years. thats 20 seasons

even if kobe only averaged 22ppg the next 3 years. his average would still be over 25ppg for his 20 year career

and he's gonna average more than that. i'l bet you 2000$ paypal on it



my whole point is... jordan couldn't catch kareem. why? because its about mileage. and jordan didnt have it. his body crapped out at year 14

his 20ppg wizard years are lame as f*ck.. if kobe averages 25+ppg in his 20th year. itel show who the greatest ever is.

jordan without all time great athleticism couldnt get it done in the nba

kobe hasnt been a great jumper with much speed since around 2006..


his best physical year was 2003. since his 2004 knee surgery his body has never been the same. yet hes beasted every year since then


kobes just a more talented player

You know, just cause kobe says something it, it doesn't mean it's going to happen. you think if he comes back next year and can't jump or move effecively cause his knee has gone that he's gonna get playing time?

Jordan spent years in college...that's why he didn't have to sit on the bench. He also missed two prime years. The overall scoring title doesn't really mean much to me, but it would obviously be an incredible achievement for kobe if he manages it. It still won't move him back into my top 10.

kobe is above the nba. he hasn't even needed athleticism, height or any physical advantage to be a top 3 player after nearly 2 decades of basketball

he's making this league look pretty bad making 1st team all nba's... back in 2002 and 2003.. jordan wasn't even good enough to make 3rd team all nba

:roll:

what a bum


and the competition at guard right now is way stiffer than it was back in 2002 and 2003



this years 3rd team all nba = james harden/dwyane wade

Kobe has finished in the top 3 of the mvp voting 5 times, and in the top 10 12 times. Hardly two decades of top 3 play.

Kobe is tall for a guard. And anyway, athleticism is part of the game: it's part of what makes players great.

[guy]

It is.

Not really. If I work for 40 years while my dad worked for 10 years then retired, and I end up making $1 dollar more in total, am I more successful? Same logic. Don't get me wrong, scoring a bajillion points like Kobe has and will continue to add on to is an amazing achievement by itself, but the fact that he surpassed Jordan doesn't mean much given the context that it took him significantly longer. Same thing goes for Karl Malone.

Bean's on the court impact obviously isn't worth anywhere close to the max

What? Have you seen the list of max players? :oldlol: Even just going by on court impact, Kobe is obviously worth a max contract. He's one of the 5 best players in the league, so how is he not worth the max?

Dwight Howard, Roy Hibbert, Rudy Gay, Deron Williams, and Joe Johnson all have max contracts you know. Kobe is clearly better than all of those guys.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

Have you seen the list of max players?

Many players "dont deserve" the max, it isn't just Kobe.

[kennethgriffin]

Many players "dont deserve" the max, it isn't just Kobe.


even if kobe didn't bring in the lakers billions of dollars worth of revenue, tv deals, ticket sales... he'd still be worth his max contract

because hes a top 3 player in the nba. anyone in the top 10 deserves a max contract. his is just higher because of seniority. which he earned

27/5/5 on 46% fg's, with 1st team all nba = a max contract player



then when you factor in his brand, name, popularity and what he brings to a franchise. he's actually worth around 100-150 million dollars per season

[Heavincent]

Many players "dont deserve" the max, it isn't just Kobe.

So are you saying Lebron and Durant are the only players who deserve max contracts?

[kennethgriffin]

He doesn't play defense. he just had a fabulous offensive season and was one of the 5 best players in the nba on that end of the floor. But defense is half the game and kobe didn't play any. And if you think kobe is better than Dwight you're crazy. Dwight was at a fraction of his capabilities last season and will be much better this year.

But I agree that he deserved a max contract last season. Maybe not 30 million, but 20 sure. There are max players who are worse than kobe, but saying he was one of the 5 best players in the nba last season is wrong imho. And to expect him to come back at the same level after this injury is optimistic to say the least.

NB: this is only about his on court impact...he obviously brings in tons of money for the lakers off the court.

[KG215]

As good as Kobe was last year, he wasn't the third best player in the league. Top 5 yes, but Chris Paul was the third best player.

[guy]

its way harder to be an elite 25+ppg player for 20 years than it is to be a 30ppg player for 13 years and fall off to 20ppg in your 14th and 15th year and forced into retirement

Kobe hasn't been a 25 ppg player for his whole career just like Jordan wasn't a 30 ppg player for his whole career. And Kobe hasn't played 20 years.



if michael jordan was drafted onto a contender behind another allstar and forced to be a 6th man. he would be around 25ppg too.


its waaaaaaaaay harder to become all time leading scorer when you had to ride the bench your first 2 years, then play behind someone for the first 8 years of your career

if jordan did that with his crap longevity. he'd barely have 25k instead of 32k


Except at no point in Jordan's early career would any team make him do that for a significant amount of time because he was too good.



if kobe was #1 option from day 1.. and never played with shaq. kobe would be hitting 50k by his 20th year


So according to you, Shaq cost Kobe about 15,000 points :oldlol: He would've surpassed Jordan by 2007 and Kareem by 2009 :roll:



kobe had a big disadvantage. yet he's still gonna become all time record holder for the best achivement in pro basketball

Poor Kobe. Having to play on a contending team almost every year of his career.



jordan averaged like 23 shots per game for his career. kobe averaged 19 shots per game for his career
thats why hes taking longer to pass him. because kobe isnt nearly as big a hog

but he did have twice the longevity and sustained greatness

:cheers:

Its not being a ball hog in comparison to Kobe if he's taking more shots and is still more efficient in the process. If Kobe took 23 shots per game for his career, his efficiency would've took a nosedive. So its not exactly a fault of Jordan's.

[Heavincent]

[KG215]

:roll: :roll: :roll:
Is this your new schtick? To laugh anytime anyone says something good about Dwight? Because anytime someone mentions Dwight being the best center in the league or better than Dwight I see a post of yours filled with laughing/lolling emoticons.

Was he better than Kobe last year? No. But, when healthy, he's a better and more impactful player than Kobe. The gap between his and Kobe's defensive impact at this point in their careers may be bigger than Kobe's impact offensively. Going forward, it's an absolute no-brainer who you'd rather have on your team.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

So are you saying Lebron and Durant are the only players who deserve max contracts?

Uhh, how did you come to that conclusion?

MY max players:
Westbrook
Durant
Lebron

Obviously trolls like certain Kobe fans will bring it up to try to prop Kobe over Jordan, and it will be a hilariously embarassing argument to make given how much longer it took :oldlol: .

No one's getting emotional. This is a forum and I'm bored at work so I'm having some fun.

[Heavincent]

If you could have one of kobe and Dwight for the next 4 years (the time period we are considering), are you seriously saying that you would take kobe?

Yes. They basically have the same time window. Howard will probably decline to the point of being a role player in 3 or 4 years, and Kobe will retire.

Excuse me for taking a top 10 player all time who put up 27/6/5 last year over a cancerous malcontent with no offensive game.

[KyrieTheFuture]

I give up. there is literally no point in posting as you'll just ignore it.


So Howard's gonna have great longevity, huh? You know, because he's such a skilled and fundamentally sound player, right?

:oldlol:

From a competitive standpoint, I'm delighted Kobe is at least planning to play maybe one or two extra seasons than he initially thought. Can't knock his desire and competitiveness, ever.

From an ISH standpoint, it's going to mean more Kobe dickriding for longer than we thought. :cry:

So wait are people actually mad that Kobe doesn't want to just hang it up and retire?

I'm definitely not a fan but I'm definitely happy he's not retiring. He's one of the most entertaining players and characters in sports history.

lol i did didn't i... know why? cause people have been predicting his output/stats would decline ever since 2005

every single year after that 3rd team all nba fluke people have said its over for him

in 2008,2009,2010,2011,2012 he had a different injury every single year and it never cost him a thing

2013 was the first time in a while he didn't have a damn thing wrong with him all year and it ended up being one of his 3-4 most efficient years in his career


kobe will put up 26-27ppg even blindfold in a wheel chair with only his left hand to shoot and every finger broken on it

and lead his Lakers to a lot of great draft picks!

Yes. They basically have the same time window. Howard will probably decline to the point of being a role player in 3 or 4 years, and Kobe will retire.

This is one of the most ignorant things I've ever seen you post. Come on man, you're better than that.

Karl Malone is second on the GOAT list according to kenneth. All that matters is the all time scoring list after all. :bowdown:

Why do Kobe stans turn a blind eye to the fact that he'll be 35 coming off a major injury? There definitely seems to be some denial going on. Kobe's future is a pretty big question mark right now. It's unrealistic to expect him to be the same player moving forward. I'm not saying he's buried, but Kobe stans are setting themselves up for a huge disappointment with their expectations.

:confusedshrug:

What, saying things like a 35 year old Kobe coming off an Achilles injury has the same window as a 27 year old Dwight Howard isn't objective and fair?

[SamuraiSWISH]

Same results as in chucking to advance on the scoring chart, playing no consistent defense, and at best 1st or 2nd round playoff losses and no championships? Ummm, ok. Have at it Kobe. Good luck with that, bruh.
