Kobe, Magic and Bird are the greatest passer in my 26 years....

[9erempiree]

We are not talking about assists here or kicking it out to the open guy or finding the open guy.

These 3 are the greatest passers I have witnessed and that is making something out of nothing. It is like the have eyes behind their back.

You need to watch more basketball if you think Kobe is one of the 3 best passers you've ever "witnessed"

Stockton- already gave him honorable mentions.

Nash- overrated. It is a product of his handles. Running around the court, eventually someone is open.

Kidd- fantastic but not my favorite. I prefer college version of Kidd. I use to follow him at Cal.

Paul- please.:facepalm

Rondo- naw, don't like guys that drive and kick.

Lebron- naw, same as Rondo, drives and kick to the open guy.

MJ- he never saw a shot he didn't like.

Honorable mention:

Steve Nash
Jason Kidd
Chris Paul
Isiah Thomas
Rajon Rondo

[9erempiree]

Also, you guys need to read what I mentioned in the OP....I said passers who made something out of nothing. You guys are making your list based off assist leaders.

I am talking about instances, where you see no other option, and then the guy makes the play with a beautiful no-looker.

I should have added Kidd but off the top of my head, if I didn't think about him right away then he is not on my list.

[Smoke117]

you pretty much failed when you put Kobe in the same sentence as Magic and Bird...Kobe isn't even the best passing shooting guard of his era less in Magic and Birds league. When did Kobe become a better passer than Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen who ran the triangle offense, Rod Strickland, JOHN STOCKTON (LMFAO), Lebron James, Grant Hill, Penny Hardaway, Kevin Johnson, Steve Nash, Mark Price, Terry Porter, Stephon Marbury who was an idiot, Terrell Brandon, Gary Payton, Chris Paul, Mark Jackson, even ****ing Andre Miller lol etc etc. Jesus christ I'd love to be high on what you are to even come up with such stupid ****ing bullshit.

I just named the players that came up in my head and there are are 20 more greater passers than you and "how long" you watched basketball which seems absurd by your idiotic post.

I'm thinking you smoked a lot of crack/meth in those 26 years to think those threee were the greatest passers of all time. Besides Magic who is top 3 and Bird who is the greatest passer as a forward, you have Kobe there!? LMFAO. You would being giving him rusty trombone every night, but Kobe, really? He's not even close to the best passer as a shooting guard....

I could literally name 100 better passers and play makers than Kobe Bryant if I really cared to lol. This is the biggest choke i've ever read.

[T_L_P]

I've noticed that you always make Kobe threads when someone bumps that Kobe >> Jordan thread.

I agree with op. I wish kobe wasnt such a good skilled shooter so I could have seen him pass more. But being the most skilled shooter of all time,can we really blame him for being shoot 1st guy? Kobe is a blessing.

I mean Perkins did avg 10 points agame mainly because Rondo is one of the best interior passing players of his era.

[Natureland]

This a troll thread and all that, but anybody got that .gif of Kobe maneuvering through like 3 Warriors and then whipping a pass to Turiaf?

[IllegalD]

Maybe not a top 3 passer but Kobe is certainly a CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED passer.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is just a Kobe-hating troll buying into the whole "LOL Kobee eess saaalfisssh,, BALLHOG" narrative that Kobe detractors have been trying to shove down people's throats his entire career.

Reality check: You don't win 5 championships as the 1st and/or 2nd best player on your team by being a ballhog who doesn't pass.

What the haters don't realize is that they contradict themselves. They want to say that Shaq and Gasol were more important to the championship runs than Kobe but then if that's the case wouldn't that mean that they had to get the ball from Kobe in order to dominate?

Or do you really expect us to believe that Kobe's teams won 5 chips INSPITE of the fact that he's a ballhog and "shoots his teams out of it". Wow, those Laker teams must have the luck of the irish in order to withstand Kobe's selfish, ballhogging tendencies to the tun of 7 finals and 5 championships.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFyDr1jnVzM

Also, these same hypocrites will bash Kobe when a teammate like Fisher, Artest, Horry hits a clutch shot during the championship runs to "bail Kobe out" but they conveniently forget that most of those shots came off assists/passes from Kobe. Examples: Kobe's pass to Ron Harper for game-winner against Portland in 2000 WCFs. Kobe's alley-oop to Shaq. Kobe's pass to Horry for GW against the Blazers in 2002. Kobe's passes to Fisher for clutch 3's against the Magic in 2009 Finals. Kobe's pass to Artest for dagger 3 in Game 7 against the Celtics in 2010 Finals

Kobe is not a great passer. He was aiming to pass the ball in the direction he was looking in and the ball fell out of his hands accidentally. It was fortunate that there were some competent team mates out there to make him not look bad.

Kobe is good at one thing and one thing only. Aweome gifs.

[Dro]

I don't know why I ever took this guy off of ignore...

Edit - Reading through this thread, you see why Laker fans get grouped together as the biggest stans. Even in this obviously ridiculous thread, you have Laker fans agreeing with him. Whether Kobe is an underrated passer is debatable but the OP says he is a TOP 3 PASSER, better than ANY GREAT PG IN LEAGUE HISTORY basically, and you dudes are agreeing with him:facepalm

[Bibby4Three]

Obvious troll thread....

Appreciate the White Chocolate mention tho.

[KyrieTheFuture]

you guys forgot about the kobe assist where the missed shot ends up in the hands of a teammate who can finish with an easy layup

the saddest part of this pathetic thread is that the OP is dead serious.

[riseagainst]

they even named a new type of assist after Kobe. What a legend.

[tmacattack33]

:roll:

OP's probably just mad that KD is getting all the attention and has basically filled in the gap (and then some) left now that Kobe is pretty much done. So he just wants to make a thread about Kobe. Still though, if you want to make a thread about Kobe, why something like this?

[pauk]

No different than the logic of something like "Kobe, Rodman and Barkley are the greatest rebounders in my 26 years..."

Kobe is not even the best passer in his team right now, perhaps not even the 2nd best passer with Kendall Marshall & Steve Nash there.

fEven being the stupid **** biased Kobe stan you are, how do you even have the gull to say Kobe Bryant is one of the three greatest passers of all time. You always like to run your mouth about how you've watched the game of basketball so much for so many years, yet you honestly believe Kobe Bryant is a better passer than ****ing John Stockon (first and foremost), Jason Kidd, Chris Paul, Rod Strickland,and literally dozen of other great and legendary passers/ play makers that you are such a ****ing idiot that you have Kobe Bryant over them. You really are the greatest troll ever because you actually believe what you say and don't just say it for the shock value.

26 years to be exact. Yes, I am making a statement off of strength and not weakness. It is because I watched for so many years, I am in a position to make these statements. Probably forgot more about games than you have watched.

Hell the only one who actually is one of the three greatest passers ever is Magic.
