[VIDEO] Iverson's Letter to Kobe Tribute (narrated by Iverson himself)

Listening and watching this makes me realize how important the late 90s and mid-to-late 2000s NBA were to me. I dealt with a lot of personal shit in that timeframe transitioning from a kid to a young man. This era of the NBA helped me escape the those hardships if only for a couple hours to give me a mental break so I could catch my breath and tackle those challenges. I'm glad I got to witness players live on television like Jordan, Kobe, LeBron and Iverson.

Two of the most overrated players in history.

this I totally agree.

Kobe, imo, is the most OVERRATED ATG if there ever was one.

AI is a lesser overrated version.

both are mirror images of each other. same versions. different height.

Beautiful Ode to the GOAT. :applause:

RIP Kobe.

The Kobe that was the best 4th quarter/clutch player in the 2001 Playoffs, who carried Shaq vs. their toughest opponents in the WC? The same Kobe both Shaq & Phil said was the best player in the league at the time?

exactly.....thats what I thought.

Shaq clearly Top 10 GOATs, Top 8 actually. GOAT, Wilt, Kareem, Magic, Bird, Hakeem, Russell, Shaq (8).

Kobe is Top 15 at best. LBJ #10 at best.

Doesn’t matter what you think. It’s what the masses think. It’s what Kobe peers think. You don’t have to agree Kobe is over Shaq. But you can’t deny that’s Kobe is viewed more than vice versa. You can sit there and pump out stats, accolades while keeping your boner in your gym shorts. Won’t change the reality of how Kobe is perceived. And having said this doesn’t mean I feel Kobe > Shaq. But for all the nonsense said about Kobe this can’t be denied. When you listen to players speak on Shaq and Kobe? Kobe is revered more. Shaq dominance is stated but Kobe is marveled at. Pick any podcast, interview you want. It’s on to YouTube from the horses mouths.

Does this sway or change your opinion? No. Should it? No. But like i said this can’t be denied so Shaq lame ass who got so many passes for being a scumbag over the years can tell us how Kobe ass taste.

You just be talking and not comprehending. I never once said Kobe > Shaq. Show me. But like the coward you are you won’t show it. You’ll ignore like an angry girlfriend.

Iverson > Wade? I’ve made it clear you selective reading d*ckhead my bias and alliance also is with AI. And that will never be denied. You pick and choose what to read. Create a false narrative like a b*tch and when called out? Tuck your tail until the next time you want to throw lame comments. Good job.

How the fvck do you expect people to take that? You do this all the time, make statements like this then backtrack later on "I never said that"

Not only that, but you are completely wrong. Shaq is ranked higher on most all-time list I have seen. He's in the top 10, Kobe doesn't even make top 10.

Nothing wrong about what I said. You’re a “let me find Links that support my argument” whore. Since you go so much energy go on YouTube and check out podcast from present and former players discussing Kobe all time ranking. Then come back to me and report your findings. Kobe is revered by his peers. He is looked at the same way a Lil Wayne is in regards to status as an all time great. It’s literally the same thing. But yeah go grab your men’s health all time nba rankings “see you’re wrong look where Shaq is”.

Selective readers in ISH. Clowns addicted to arguing wanting to be “right”, wanting to prove you wrong so bad. They are obsessed. To the point they won’t even comprehend what is said because their entire agenda is to say “you’re wrong you’re wrong I’m right”. Insecurity? Not sure how to diagnose folks here. But even when you explain it to them? The addiction of wanting so bad to be right overcomes logic. It’s weird but that’s ISH. Welcome to the board.

And why the hell does Gil have LeBron as a point guard? I know LeBron is a playmaker, but I've never heard anyone label him a full on point guard.

See this is the problem with idiots I mean sorry no need for me to insult to prove a point. The problem is this is not what YOU think or feel. You have every right to rank whomever however. You have every right to say that podcast is meaningless. What you don’t have is the ability to chance OTHERS minds and perception. I’m literally showing you Kobe is and will always be ranked over Shaq to the masses. Part and present players? Check. Fans who grew up on Kobe during/after? Check. You can post an elaborate breakdown countering it all. That isn’t the point. So while Shaq asks Kobe how his ass taste? Shaq needs to know he’s not viewed better than Kobe on all time lists by the general public.

Again I have Shaq over Kobe. But what I’m saying holds merit. I can be here all day linking you to how Kobe is viewed whereas Shaq is just called “big fella”. And you nor anyone will chance their minds and the perception.

I don’t care about Jason Kidd or where someone ranked him. Not even sure who did it. That has nothing to do with the masses when it comes to Kobe Bryant. Like I said you’re so addicted to wanting to be right. You don’t talk to listen you talk to respond.
