    Kobe got better with the mask.

    Wade broke his nose in the ASG, and Kobe beat the Heatles' ass when they met soon after.

    This thread is a bit refreshing. At first I thought Op suffered a serious head injury lately or something. Turns out he was always retarded.

    Beal is not remotely comparable to Kobe or even Booker. He really isn't a difference maker in terms of actually winning games, just good at putting up stats and getting paid.

    I’ll give you Booker for now since he’s scoring like a god, but Bradley Beal? Nah You can’t actually believe that. That’s a 3ball/tpols take.

    Beal wouldn‘t have the run Book is having right now, but basically questions like these reveal which people can critically think and which can‘t.


    No one made much of a difference between Beal and Booker in 2021. In fact Beal was regarded as better by many.

    The only difference is their situation.

    Some can believe. Others need to „see it to believe it“. Sure, agreeing with Booker is easy now. Its undeniable.

    But what difference is there in the games of Beal and Booker? Not much. Just like there isn‘t much for Kobe.

    Beal could be plugged into these Phoenix teams and have similar results and Booker would be on Washington and you, SouBeachTalents, would be sitting here saying „sure I give you Beal, but Booker?


    Some people have it. Others dont.


    I have it. I have the foresight and the boldness to say it.

    And you‘d be saying the same for Booker if the 2 switched teams.



    IQ is an interesting thing.

    Well no other poster would bump this thread after making it. That isn't a good thing but it is unique.

    I'll give you credit, you made a bold statement about Booker that you can actually back up right now. But I repeat, Bradley Beal is not even in the vicinity of Kobe. You'd be basing that solely off the fact he scored 30 ppg a couple of times on losing teams. The man is in the heart of his prime and has recorded 5 losing seasons in a row, you can't possibly believe prime Kobe isn't doing better than that

    And yeah, I wouldn't have really given much thought to a Booker/Beal comparison 2 years ago, but even by Bookers first playoff series he already played better than Beal ever did in the playoffs. Now? The comparison is laughable.

    You can boast about your Booker call, but you were dead wrong about Beal.

    If ignorance is bliss you.must be a happy guy.

    Booker was dropping 22 ppg in his second season at age 20.

    Beal didn't even average over 18 ppg until year 5 in spite of playing big minutes from day 1 on bad teams that fed him as many touches as he could handle. The last two years he's averaged 23 ppg in what is supposed to be his prime.

    Wizards fans were overwhelmingly against resigning Beal. There is a reason for that.

    His defense is lackadaisical most of the time, embarrassingly so at times. When he missed the all Star game one year, which is the norm for him, and the next few weeks were the Beal revenge tour. He would just ignore his teammates and the play calls to chuck away as if that would show the coaches made a mistake not picking him. In reality it showed they made the right decision.

    prime kobe would easily be the best guard in the league right now and you would laugh at that comparison. especially beal.
    that's why




    kobe was an elite man defender and had the willpower to drop 35 for a season



    that puts him clearly above booker. we wont even touch a comparison to any other guard in the league.



    booker might come close to the scoring but he isnt the best man defender in the league. thats what kobe was.

    I've always thought Kobe was overrated and used to get in arguments about it all the time. People here used to compare him to Jordan and later LeBron but fortunately that nonsense has died down.

    But comparing Kobe to Booker and especially Beal is just trolling.
