Where would Kobe rank in the 60s

Would he rank top 10:confusedshrug:

He probably would have had 40+ ppg seasons, but on "Baylor-like" efficiencies.

And, as was posted in another topic, his team success would depend on which teams that he would have played with. He likely would not have won very many, if any, rings, unless he would have played with the Celtics. But then again, he wouldn't have averaged more 25 ppg with those teams, either.

There was no perimeter players with his skill set, dude would average 40+ easily..60s were a great era for big men

[B]This again?

Assuming he'd make it into the league and assuming he'd be able to deal with all the racism and its "repercussions", plus much more physical play (all of that which he would be able to "do" better than Lebron tbh, although Lebron's the better player at their best), while not having all these modern "luxuries" you can think of... He'd have an amazing career just the same and regardless of all the "nuances" and subjectivity.

Big difference is that people nowadays woud be saying stuff like: "Kobe Bryant would be just another Kent Bazemore in this league :oldlol:" :rolleyes: "Weak era" :rolleyes: "His accolades/acomplishments mean shit" :rolleyes: [/B]

[B]Won't go into the skill-set discussion but players like Oscar, West and Baylor were terrific perimeter players (in any era), even dudes like Sam Jones or Hal Greer, really good ballers...[/B]

Who would he model his game after? He certainly wouldn't be Kobe as you know him.

if he played in 60s, MJ would model his game after kobe not the other way around

Better than Dean Meminger and Dick Barnett but behind Sam Jones and Hal Greer.

Like Moe and VIntageNOvel said, Kobe wouldn't be Kobe. He models his game after MJ and he wasn't even in the league in the 60s.

I'm confused at what you're asking, OP.

When you say "Kobe ranks in the 60s" Do you mean he's in the top 60 of all time? If so, I agree. He's probably about #62 of all time behind John Starks.

Or are you asking if you would rank in the 1960s? The answer is no, he wouldn't.

Actually, that incident would have never taken place. No hotel rooms for blacks. He would have to sneak his white girls like Chuck Berry used to do.

damn, all this equality today is getting our brothas tripped up

Probably top 7 i'd think.

Most skilled player ever, a goat scorer, just all around great player.

I'll say multiple 60+ ppg seasons, to go along 20 assists, and maybe 10+ rebounds a game.

In short, GOAT.
