Kobe playing in the era of weakest guards.
They don't play defense during Kobe's era.
6-24 isn't GOAT.
Prime Jeremy Lin dropped 38 on Kobe.

this

Actually if he passes Kareem on the all-time scoring list and wins 6 rings, I think large majority of casual fans and media pundits probably would hype him to that be the GOAT. But even if he were to accomplish that I wouldn't consider him to be the GOAT, but I'm just saying that's would the public perception could very well be.

nah 2nd best. He'd go down as the 2nd best. I dont believe in anything happening from this point on to make him go down as goat

There was a time where he could have given people the perception he was as good as jordan but it just didn't happen - wasn't good enough. If he wins 6 and gets high up on the list, maybe not kareem level but 33k or so... he will prob he hailed as the 2nd best.

[QUOTE=selrahc]thats because hes not as [B]recent[/B] as kobe[/QUOTE]
fixed

[QUOTE=selrahc]Now that the Lakers have acquired Ramon Sessions and Kobe will win another championship this year, he will be remembered as the GOAT. In 20 years when kids are younger and the years have gone by and people have forgotten some of the bad chucking games he's had, they will only remember his stats and big games and rings and people will consider him better than Michael Jordan.

:rockon:

And LeBron James will still have 0 rings.[/QUOTE]
Michael Jordan will always be the greatest of all time. Michael > Magic > Kobe > LeBron

Your talking about the people who are 15 years old right now and grew up worshiping Kobe. Everyone else will speak of him highly but nobody with a brain is gonna rank him as GOAT. He's a top 10 All-Time.

This is true as well.... there would be the pulic perception of people who would probably consider Bryant the GOAT... even it's not true...

I'd probably think he's somewhere in the Top 5 or higher if he does what you stated, but like you also stated, I wouldn't consider him the GOAT.

Not if a 60 year old Bruce Blitz has some gas left in the tank

Kobe might actually be likeable if his fans weren't so delusional. It's like you're all seeking a strong male figure to latch onto... good lord.

Kobe is an amazing scorer, a great competitor, and an all-time great.
but for much of his career he has been an inefficient scorer, a relatively low IQ player, and lacks the ability to inspire selflessness and teamwork in his teams ala Bird/Magic/Duncan.

He is basketball's version of Alex Rodriguez: incredibly skilled/talented, highly polarizing, and statistically an all-time great. But like A-Rod, Kobe should not sniff the top 5 player of all-time discussions. That conversation should be reserved for the Ruths', the Bonds', the Mays's, and the Ted Williams'.

If you consider Kobe Bryant a top 5 player of all-time, your understanding of basketball is either very raw or very abstract.
Or you are from the Los Angeles area and highly susceptible to media brainwashing.
