As a 100% unbiased fan I must say that although Kobe has put up some decent numbers in the 2 blowout Lakers losses - He looks done. He looks like Wizards MJ. No ability to get to the rim - everything is a perimeter jumper.

Kobe > LeBron.

[Heavincent]

He looked much better than Bran did last night. That's for sure.

As another unbiased fan of basketball I must agree with you. The uneducated fans will be fooled into thinking he had a great game against the Suns the other night, but we know the truth. The Lakers were -26 with Kobe on the floor because he played no defense whatsoever.
Then he starts stad padding after his team falls behind by 20 points and the Suns were basically letting him score in order to keep his teammates uninvolved. 31 points through 3 quarters, and not a single one of them had ANY impact whatsoever.

Kobe should just stapad like 05-07 Kobe this season.

He is still a good player. And he was done being a superstar in 2011.

Kobe has been "done" for a while.

Even in 2012, when he was putting up good stats, it still felt like he was no where near good enough to win a title as the first option.

That's just the way it goes, and we're already starting to see it with LeBron.

That's why a guy like KD is the only legit threat to MJ because we know he's gonna be able to score 30 a night till he's 40-45 years old, and is going to absolutely shatter the scoring record

People don't know that KD is going to be at this level or better for the next 15 years.

Didn't he score more than twice as many points as Bran in his opening game of the season?

I would take this version of Kobe over Lebron of right now. Lebron has no impact on his team right now nor did he have an impact much of last year. He is on the decline where Kobe doesn't look like it all.

We are pretty much witnessing this version of Kobe like we did in the past. Kobe's all around game makes him still look like one of the best in the league due to that silky jumper of his that he can get off anytime he wants.

He is like a quarterback in the NFL and just dissecting defenses in the perimeter something that Lebron can never do. Just look how awful he has been on opening night.

Kobe scored 19 points in his opening game, while Lebron scored 17.
You might wanna invest in some math classes, bro.

These are the same fools who think a 24 PER compares with a 30 PER

[Milbuck]

Is Kobe the GOAT? Serious question.

If 36 year old Kobe coming off an achilles rupture and a knee fracture putting up 25 ppg on 40% shooting is him being "done" and peak Lebron putting up 17 ppg on 33% shooting with 8 turnovers a game is him being the best in the world, I see no other logical conclusion than Kobe = GOAT.

Bran scored 17? Wow, I was sure it was 15. Well done on his part
