Kobe currently has the worst roster in the NBA, which absolutely is even worse than the Smush/Kwame/Walton era. If Kobe can get this team to 40 wins, which seems like an impossible feat in the greatest conference in NBA history, his GOAT status will undeniably rise.
Bran can't improve his status because he has one of the top 5 most stacked teams in NBA history.
Duncan can't improve his status because he has a GOAT coach and a great supporting cast. (And Leonard is the best player on the team)
Only Kobe can improve his status. In his 20th season. After multiple major surgeries. After the entire world has doubted him.
I have him at #2 behind MJ all time, but 40 wins this season elevates him to top 5 all time in EVERY SINGLE LIST IMAGINABLE.

Weren't the Lakers better at losing with Kobe than without him last season?

Lakers are a 0-82 team without Kobe. Any game they win is 100% cause of Kobe. Therefore, anything better than 0-82 boosts kobes legacy within the top 5 GOAT.

Thanks, I take great pride in rooting for King James yet being an objective, unbiased analyst of the sport. I hate gloating but I don't think there's a more respected opinion on this forum than mine. Originally Posted by stalkerforlife

Kobe fans accepting such mediocrity, it's a shame

Kobestan logic: 40 wins and the 10 seed is best we could possibly hope for. But if LeBron doesn't win the Championship he falls out of top 50.

I don't get how people have the time with their day to do stuff like this.

I love fanboy threads like these. Like sometimes you would see a thread that goes something like, "If Kobe scores 28ppg, on 50% shooting, he will be MVP." And you're thinking, "Ok."
If Lebron dishes 9 assist per game this season, scoring 41ppg, with Cleveland winning 74 games, then he's going to be the GOAT.
