Is Kobe even a Top 5 Laker of all time?

[Fudge]

Players to consider:

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Shaquille O'Neal
Magic Johnson
Jerry West
Elgin Baylor
Wilt Chamberlain
George Mikan

[stalkerforlife]

He's the 2nd greatest player in NBA history.

So...yeah. :lol

[dubeta]

Nope



Is he even a top 5 Laker SG of all time tho ?

[ISHGoat]

Was he even a top 5 player in the league during any of his seasons? Maybe 2006, but didnt he miss the playoffs that season or get bounced in the first round?

[Levity]

I didnt even know Kobe was on the Lakers.

[Vaniiiia]

All those guys were better players than Kobe. Don't care how long Kobe's been in LA, he doesn't measure up to these guys.

Mikan was a pioneer, ahead of his time. Easily better than Kobe.

Wilt and West of course were better. Pioneers. And Kareem.

Magic, yep, much better. Helped saved the game.

Shaq was obviously a million times better, carried Kobe to 3 rings. Didn't play as long in LA but achieved more than Kobe has in 20 years. He's ahead too.

And just in terms of individual brilliance Elgin was much better than Kobe. He's ahead as well.

He made the playoffs and choked a 3-1 lead.

Possibly the worst playoff choke ever. Worse than Bron in 2011, imo.

:lol

[catch24]

Nah man... Kobe isn't even a top 50 player all-time.

Much less a top 5 Laker. Try top 20.

[ShaqTwizzle]

Let us please keep board discussion on current All-Star level players and Top 10 GOAT's.

[Nick Young]

Kobe is clearly the GOAT laker and is one of 3 players in the discussion of GOAT basketball players, many experts even have him as the clearcut #1.

So in answer to your thread question OP, yes.

[WayOfWade]

Realistically, the only players on that list who have a case over Kobe are (in no particular order) Magic, Shaq, Kareem, and Wilt Chamberlain. That's talking about overall careers though

:wtf: :wtf: :wtf:

[ShawkFactory]

He's second. Would be third if Kareem spent more time there.

[dubeta]

Mikan also has the same rings as Kobe while being far, far more dominant overall


West is also a superior player, while being a far better finals performer

[SouBeachTalents]

He wasn't even a top 5 player on any of his championship teams

[kennethgriffin]

Well hes got nearly every record imaginable

Hes tied for the most rings

Won all of them with only 1 other hof'r

Magic and kareem each had 4 hall of fame teammates

Kobes played the most seasons in nba history with one team period. Not just with L.A.

Magic, shaq and west all said kobe is the goat laker

Kobe has the best finals record of any laker 5 for 7... magic was 5 for 9

Kobe in his 20th "preseason" laker season is averaging 29ppg on 53% fgs per 36minutes... so hes more than likely going to have yet another allstar/all nba year if healthy

Kobe will have had nearly DOUBLE the amount of allstar/all nbas of any other laker

He has the laker high (81 points)




I think kobe is the goat laker.. sure

[dubeta]

He wasn't even a top 5 player on any of his championship teams
Lol funny thing is this is actually true about his 2000 and 2002 teams

[Fudge]

He wasn't even a top 5 player on any of his championship teams
That's stretching it a bit.

However, I will say that he wasn't the most impactful player on any of his championship teams. You can even argue that he wasn't the best player either. (certainly not in 00-02) Probably was in '09, and '10 was a toss up IMO. Gasol was great.

[Levity]

is that the filth your pops was spewing, when he was feeding you strained peas in your high chair during that time?

[kennethgriffin]

No way dude!!!! No way!!!!!! Youre stupid dude!!! Fu*cker asshole fafgots

I hate insidepoops


Trollils are ruining me today

That's an understatement.

Just like we saw this year when Iggy won FMVP it's not ALL about most points scored, especially when you take BY FAR the most shots. (Kobe)

Curry was the leading scorer and got zero votes on the winning team. Those FMVP's were robbed from Pau's resume, which is why context should always be practiced when talking about individual players and their so called accomplishments.

[Lebronxrings]

the guys listed are better than kobe. Kobe is mad overrated especially by stupid stans like kenneth.

[SwayDizzle]

what a bunch of f*ckin losers in this thread

[Vaniiiia]

:roll: :roll: :roll:

Truth hurts. He doesn't measure up to these guys. Get over it kid.

[Cold soul]

HM worthy, baylor

[Heavincent]

Was Kobe even a top 5 player in the starting lineup? Don't think so tbh.

[Nick Young]

Pau did not win a single playoff game in his career before teaming with Kobe and getting carried by Mamba to multiple titles.

Apparently Kobe, Kobe's mom, and Kobe's wife are experts.

Strike that. He sued his mom last year. She probably doesn't even like him.

[riseagainst]

who is this Kobe guy? He must not be very good since I have never heard of him. Has he ever even played a game in the NBA?

[Mr. Jabbar]

He's the 2nd greatest player in NBA history.

So...yeah. :lol

ABSOLUTELY REKT in the first post WOW..

REST

IN

PEACE

[Fudge]

I need answers. NOW!

[Megabox!]

Nope



Is he even a top 5 Laker SG of all time tho ?
:lol

[TheBigVeto]

He is not. Not even close.

[KembaWalker]

Cause yeah I value the opinions of a bunch of basement dwellers on ISH over the likes of Shaq, Magic and West who've stated Kobe is the greatest Laker :rolleyes:

[bobopenguin]

Nope

[kennethgriffin]

the only laker player period that was better is kareem. but his best years were with the bucks
