Kobe was amazing during that stretch.

jordan had top 27 player all time scottie pippen though


kobe had top 97 player all time pau gasol

[SouBeachTalents]

I don't think any 5 year stretch that has 2 first round exits could be considered "GOAT"

[DonDadda59]

Heavens no.

[SouBeachTalents]

Others with arguments just as strong

LeBron 09-13
Shaq 00-04
Duncan 03-07
Bird 84-88
Magic 85-89

Jordan's 89-93 is unquestionably better

[ShawkFactory]

Jordan's stretch was still better in every way

[Mr Feeny]

Agreed. Kobe had all-time great run himself just not MJ level unless say three peat MJ 96-98.Tbf not only was it not MJ level, it wasn't Lebron, Shaq, Magic, Bird level either.

Hoping either the Cavs or Spurs win the tile this year and one of either Lebron or Duncan adds another title and possibly fmvp:rockon:

[dubeta]

LOL LeBrons is easily better


2009-2013

Exactly! There's nothing great about being kicked out in the first round two years running, choking away a 3-1 series lead in the process and having 1 point in the second half of an elimination game 7:facepalm

or being on the receiving end of the largest comeback in nba finals history in your home floor and against your fiercest rivals no less, while Pierce proceeds to tear you to shreds on both ends of the court.
Let's not get into finishing the elimination game 6 with 3-17 shooting and getting beat by 39! Points.

Impressive indeed:applause:

How many MVPS does Kobe has in his stretch? One?

How many win share titles? Zero?

Hmmm

He missed as many shots as what his all-time ranking is currently (Hint, he's not top 15)

It's up there, imo. Not sure about the GOAT run though.

2nd year Lebron won 41 games and missed Playoffs.

Kobe never missed the Playoffs two years in a row when healthy. Matter of fact, he never missed the Playoffs without being injured.

It was a good run. Just not the GOAT

[ImKobe]

It was a good run. Just not the GOAT

GOAT of his era.

Only Shaq 2000-02 comes close, but we all know how Kobe delivered in crunch time in 2000, led the Playoffs in Winshares in 2001 and averaged 27 ppg on 51% shooting in the 2002 Finals.

Lebron 09-13 is absolutely close. Don't be stupid.

09 - lost to the team Kobe beat
10 - lost to the team Kobe beat
11 - biggest Finals choke in modern NBA history

mad

[Kobe_6/8]

If I was a GM drafting any player in NBA history at their absolute 5-year peak, I would take Shaq or LeBron before Kobe. Kobe's a great player, but he was never the consensus #1 pick like those guys.

That was like a 5th graders take on the matter.

Lost to a team Kobe beat? Really? I'm sure this has been argued endlessly so there's no point, but come on

[Mr Feeny]

He is a 5th grader. What do you expect. This is not even clever trolling.

GTFO with this garbage second year Lebron is no way better than peak Kobe. Please don't be an idiot.

[Mr Feeny]

GTFO with this garbage second year Lebron is no way better than peak Kobe. Please don't be an idiot.You're both entitled to your opinions. What can be pointed out though is that 2nd year Lebron averaged 27, 7 and 7 on 47%fg (higher than Kobe in any season in his entire career)

But it's Lebron from 2009-2013 who was absolutely phenomenal in that 5 year stretch with 4 MVP's and 2 FMVPs.

The only real response to all the Kobe and Lebron stans in this thread.

Yeah Lebron 09-13 has a case over Kobe I wouldn't take 09/10 Lebron over Kobe best due to mentally wise he wasn't their yet physically it was his peak but not other attributes he was really lacking 2011 Finals loss might of been best thing for his career to come back from.

[Mr Feeny]

"Has a case"???
Omg
It isn't even a discussing. Lebron from 09-13 is ten tiers ahead of what Kobe ever was for just about everyone but Kobe fans or Lebron haters. Unfortunately for you, you'll find that very few people share your opinion that it's close.

2nd year Lebron and Kobe is though, and some people would still take Lebron from 05 than any version of Kobe. THAT is close my friend.

[Smoke117]

Because i'm bored, random 5 year run that was easily better:

Larry Bird 83-84 - 87-88


27.3ppg 9.8rpg 6.8apg 1.8spg 0.9bpg 3.1topg .512%fg .400%3pt .899%ft

Championship: 84, 86
FMVP: 84, 86

MVP: 84, 85, 86, 3rd in 87, 2nd in 88

First Team All NBA: 84, 85, 86, 87, 88

He led the league in +/- each of his MVP seasons and was 2nd in 87 and 3rd in 88.

Four NBA Finals appearances in a row and ECF in 88.

Stay losing Kobe stans.

[Mr. Jabbar]

most likely

[Marchesk]

Bill Russell from 60/61 to 64/65 had 4 MVPs and 5 titles, and probably would have had 4 or 5 FMVPs.

Also keep in mind this was while Wilt and Oscar will putting up stats nobody had ever put up before (or since).
