These three were all compared to each other back in the day. Based on talent VC and TMAC > Kobe. Now look at where they are. They are all old and have suffered serious injuries.

VC- 37 years old. 6.2, 0.5, 1.8. PER 4.33

TMAC- 35 years old. Out of the NBA.

Kobe- 36 years old. 27.6, 2.8, 5.2. PER 19.96

Let that sink in.

I never understood this, how did they have more Talent, they did not, never did, and never will. Kobe was able to do everything those guys did but do it better, you can argue they're more athletic but that's literally it.

It's annoying how haters compare old Kobe to prime Bran and KD. It is more reasonable to compare him to his contemporaries who played the same position as he did.
