66% of NBA GMs call Kobe the best shooting guard in the league

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

the thunder can only get better.

i say the only time for lebron to win with the heat is within the next 2 years. and they have kobe/howard/nash/pau in their way

then when kobe retires durant and the thunder will be peaking

gonna be tough

i'd say lebron gets at most 1 more ring in his prime. then if lucky 1 more when hes older..

IMO the Thunder have a smaller window than the Heat. While Durant and Westbrook MIGHT get better, the team won't make the type of improvements that the Heat been making the past couple years. The Thunder are one injury away from disaster while that is no longer a concern for the Heat.

[Nick Young]

10% Lebron James Lead Team USA to a Bronze when given full leadership duty, on the heat, D-Wade is the leader.

Even guys like Kanye West and Tony Robbins go to Kobe for leadership and advice. Yeezy don't lie.

of course this thread is derailed less than 10 post into it by Lebron Stans

Why isn't MiamiThrice banned yet? all he does is subscribe to every thread with the Kobe's name in it so he can go in & try to derail the thread.

A lot of agendas here.

You mean Jeff DOESN'T pay you to post? Damn bro, you better talk to him.

Kobe's leaderships skills:
Lead a roster with Smush Parker, Luke Walton and Chris Mihm starting to 7 games vs the top seeded Phoenix suns

Lead his team to 5 rings (even Shaq called Kobe the #1 option)

Taught Trevor Ariza how to shoot

Caron Butler became a 20/5/5 allstar after training with Kobe

Turned Pau Gasol, who never won a playoff game on his own, into the best offensive big in the league

Lead Team USA to gold

Most game winning shots over the past decade


That is true leadership

Take out Duncan and Kobe has more rings than the rest combined

[Vertical-24]

I thought this was already established...

Kobe has been the best SG for years now (barring 2011 and possibly '09). Kobe is the better player and just like Griff said, will more than likely retire the best SG in the NBA. He's just that good.

Billups: 1
LeBron: 1

i think he retires with

3 mvps
3 rings
2 finals mvps
12 first team all nba's

top 7 all time


kobe retires with
1 mvp
6 rings
3 finals mvps
12 first team all nba's

top 3 all time

Unless Kobe averages 30 ppg on above 45% this season he's not a top 3 player. Get over it. What is so wrong with him being #7?
