Tell me what makes Kobe Bryant better than Bradley Beal or Devin Booker

Tell me.

Cause there's nothing as far as I'm concerned.


Not game wise, not stat wise.


Circumstances are the only reason their achievements differ.

Lebron got his ass handed to him for the 2nd year out of 3 out west

And this guys got Kobe on his mind

Losing it...

You’re an idiot an clearly have never watched kobe

His LEGACY.

OP inhaled glue before making this thread.

What does one of the best perimeter defenders of all time do better than 2 nikkas that don't D up. Makes sense a retard made this thread. Besides maybe shooting the 3 they do literally nothing better and Kobe had garbage spacing in his prime compared to players now. He was one of the 5 most complete halfcourt players ever and could do it all in the halfcourt in any action

remember we're in the most inflated era ever. An era where a 5'6 midget averaged 29/6 on 63 TS% and led a 1 seed and was top 5 in MVP voting

If you said Wade, Durant or Kawhi, sure. But those dudes, c'mon bruh :lol

Can you imagine those matchups? Kobe vs Beal or Kobe vs Booker? If you meant prime Kobe that will be carnage. Sure Beal or Booker will score but imagine the length of that game or series, Kobe will be on them. And if they had the duty of guarding Kobe, goodluck.

How good they are

This is a conclusion you could only reach if you didn't actually watch Kobe play.

Kobe could guard those guys. They couldn't guard Kobe.

I don't know but Beal > laker lebron, for sure.

Kobe would be another Paul Pierce without the stacked teams

Kobe would average 32-34 ppg in this no defence "shoot however much you want" league.

Beal for sure does not win 2 titles with Pau Gasol and Ron Artest.

Booker probably not either though he is still young, maybe he has another gear.

My view though is a 24/25 year old Kobe would be putting up 32-34 ppg in Booker's place. He's also better defensively (by a lot) than either of these guys in his mid-20s.

Nothing, because he isn’t.

Op clearly a boxscore watcher.

what is it then :confusedshrug:


So far I see a lot of outrage but nothing of substance.

What kind of generic ass bullshit statement is that? :roll:


You wanna tell me defense is what seperates them?

I think I won half the battle then, here.

Athleticism and equal or better jumpshooting skill, and far superior pure scoring ability.. and mamba mentality

Are you retarded bre?

This is a basketball forum.

Not a LeBron board.

[QUOTE=3ball;14341385]Athleticism coupled with equal or better jumpshooting skill[/QUOTE]

that athleticism didnt translate into any better, more efficient scoring though, nor better playmaking...

Kobe is a better scorer than Booker or Beal and it isn't close.. Kobe was in a different dimension

All better than Lebron

None really..Booker and Beal are actually better 3 point shooters, but Kobe had a better post game.

If Beal had a O'neal type of player his first 3-4 years he'd have a championship as well.

And you'll never get a legit answer other then "YOU NEVER WATCHED KOBE"

[QUOTE=ArbitraryWater;14341383]what is it then :confusedshrug:

Did someone knock you upside the head for snitching or something? What makes lebron a better player than tony Parker?

Defense + playmaking and overall basketball IQ

Playmaking and ball handling - Kobe was the point guard of 5 championship teams

defense - Kobe was an elite defender in the early 2000's and still better defensively as he got older

also like 5x better athleticism

I would say Booker's prime is underrated though but beal shouldn't be in the convo.

jesus fking christ, autisticwater with complete meltdown

[QUOTE=SouBeachTalents;14341310]If you said Wade, Durant or [B]Kawhi[/B], sure. But those dudes, c'mon bruh :lol[/QUOTE]

I can't put Kawhi in with those other two right now. Dude's talented as hell but flaky as fcuk and lacks intangibles/leadership qualities. His cache is just about up coming off that 2019 chip, especially if he fails to get past a pre-prime Luka. This 'everything is now advanced stats' era is starting to make Kobe a little underrated IMO.

OP got his shit pushed in at school and consulted ISH for help because he has no friends irl:roll:

You mention circumstances, please explain why Beal couldn't help his team extend the series against the 76rs even without Embid. The Wizards struggled just to make the play in game, IMO not a good comparison to Kobe under any circumstances.

Not much until you give each of them a basketball.

Better scorer
Better defender
Better passer
Way tougher
Winning
More athletic

So Beal is supposed to be better than Kobe and has a teammate who puts better numbers than lebron but can't beat sixers w/o Embid? Lol

Man these bron stans in full meltdown since last night. Hang in their fakkits everything gonna be ok :oldlol:

Defense makes him better way better! Beal and Booker are great on offense but they both suck on defense. Kobe was a 2 way player at a very high level… Book and Beal can’t defend for crap.

Kobe better scorer? Yes

Kobe better passer? No

Kobe tougher? No

Winning? Yes

More athletic? Most definitely

Kobe has that killer instinct. He’s not as good of a passer or shooter but he could still score better than either and his defense was way better! Overall Kobe is a much better player than either.

Kobe is not tougher? Kobe can play through pain. Lebron gets paralyzed by the fkn AC breaking down. Kobe never backed down from guarding lebron many times in their careers. Lebron has better longevity, that I give him.
