    It's not about him holding the gun for five years.

    I'm saying if someone made me choose which player I'll think is better in 5 years...I'd go with KD.

    My point was that I think there is a lot of unknown to see how KD does in certain pressure situations. I think KD will come through and play great...and so I'd lean towards KD over Kobe if someone made me choose.

    But, luckily for us, we get to find out the answers to those unknown questions...especially with KD because he's on a contender that looks to not be going anywhere for some time.

    So we get to see KD at his best playing with equal or better help than anyone else. How he and his teams do will key us into a lot of those unknown things in my opinion.

    Again, this is just my opinion, I really don't want to argue about why we can't currently rank KD and Kobe. It's all about the playoffs for me...I clearly value them much more than most here. So this is just me...right or wrong...

    Yeah, I'm too lazy too right now.

    That 2000 Lakers defense was beast. Best in the league by far, think they allowed only 92 point per game, and had the best OPP FG% and best OPP 3 PT%. Obviously that wasn't all incurred because of Kobe, but those numbers indicate they had the best perimeter defense in the league, and Kobe was the best perimeter defender on that team.

    Wow, speak for yourself servant.

    Durant. There is no unbiased argument for Kobe being as good as this version of Durant. Kobe obviously has the greater career though.

    As someone once posted on here, this version of Durant is closer to peak Lebron than any version of Kobe is to Durant.

    Lebron >> Durant >>>> Kobe

    I know, right?

    No way in hell you would get away with putting a midget PG on Kobe. He would literally score on CP3 every possession, and Kobe is 5 inches shorter than Durant for ****'s sake.
