    Default there are plenty of MJ and Lebron stans in sports media, but nearly ZERO kobe stans

    just something i noticed. plenty of MJ stans like Wilbon, Adande, etc. Lebron stans like Windhorst, Nick Wright, etc, but no notable Kobe stans come in mind. why are kobe stans so underrepresented in the national media?

    Skip is a Kobe stan. The conversation has centred on MJ and Lebron so whoever else you're a stan of is neither here nor there at that point. I mean guys like Kareem and Russell have been squarely removed from the conversation to focus on these two.

    He's an all-time great player and may he rest in peace but it's too difficult to make an intelligent argument for Bryant as the greatest ever when the concensus GOAT is basically a better version.

    Lots of former players like Mark Jackson, Matt Barnes and S-Jax are media members and have stanned hard for Kobe. I recall Mark Jackson putting Kobe over Jordan at one point.

    Yeah I think there are plenty of Kobe stans out there in media but because he no longer is in the conversation it doesn't manifest itself.
