Where does Kobe rank...

[EricForman]

I'd rank Kobe above West.

West's horrendous finals record and the fact he only won when he totally deferred from his usual style has to be a negative factor when comparing people... can't just look at numbers.

Who was that guy who kept arguing with me that West was better than Bird a few months back?

Ya but willl you take 4/9 over 6/9 or 7/9?

Kobe will win 3 or 4 more rings.

lol once again, you show your true self. You WANT Kobe to be something instead of recognizing and appreciating Kobe for what he IS and DOES. Your expectations as a fanatic will never be lived up to by him, because he isn't the player you want him to be. It's already a foregone conclusion in your mind that he will win 3 or 4 more rings. It's not a possibility, but a destined event. One day, when Kobe's career is over, and he doesn't fulfill your expectations, reality might set in. But until then, enjoy your delusions.

Well after multiple people being unable to comprehend the premise of the topic, and after previous corrections, it gets frustrating son.

A mod should just modify the thread title.

How many finals did he go to? 9? So he lost 4 of 9. You would rather he went 3-5? I'll take 5 rings and 4 losses to better teams over 3 rings and couple of downright embarrassing showings.

You don't even need to go that far to argue this. The dude you're arguing with lacks even very basic knowledge of NBA history, like the fact that Kareem was 42 freaking years old in '89, that Magic was injured during the same series and only played 1 full game and that he didn't even have Kareem in his team in '91. If someone ignores such elementary stuff, it's evidence he shouldn't be taken seriously.

He'll be number 3 by the time his jersey is hanging in Staples.

Yes better than Magic. Outside of passing and court vision, magic has nothing on Kobe and Kobe is better at every facet of the game - scoring, shooting, defense, ball-handling, off hand, etc.

Magic has no jumpshot and was a defensive liability. He struggled to guard smaller PGs.

Magic lost in the finals 4 times with kareem/worthy and rest of his loaded roster, his leadership is overrated.

Magic is the GOAT PG , but kobe > Magic overall.
