Brandon Bass on Kobe: "he's arguably the best player in the game still"

[derb2k2]

Seems Kobe found someone consensual this time.

[Doranku]

I don't think.

yeah we know

[triangleoffense]

People who say that are honestly just trolling..

mentally he may still be the strongest but Lebron, Curry, Durant.. all these newer generation people should have his number by now.. just frankly speaking

[STATUTORY]

not surprised, Brandon Bass has always been an astute observer of the game and a high IQ player

[Quickening]

[JT123]

He's not. Its his teammate though...so what do you expect?

When healthy Kobe is still probably an elite offensive player. Potentially an all-star.

[B]Kobe ranks among the worst players in the league this season in a number of categories:

[Akrazotile]

Kobe ranks among the worst players in the league this season in a number of categories:

• 124th in field goal percentage (third-worst among qualified players)

• 103rd in 3-point percentage (fifth-worst)

• 74th in player efficiency rating

• 361st in win shares

Kobe's 0.1 win shares are the fewest of the 73 players to play at least 1,200 minutes this season

Kobe is easily a top 5 player if healthy.

Dude was going to lead the league in scoring last season if not for injury.

MJ
Kareem
KOBE

The rest

this is really obnoxious

we get threads anytime Kobe's teammates do anything that might put Kobe in a negative light, yet when they compliment him it's just excused as "oh its his teammate"

obviously Kobe isn't the best in the league, but Bass was asked where Kobe ranks currently in the league, and his answer demonstrated a tremendous amount of respect and admiration

but I guess we should get back to pretending like his teammates hate him

Well yeah that's how it works everywhere. When your teammates praise you obviously it has no credibility. When they outed you then clearly you done messed up.

[Rocketswin2013]

Lol. This, is why I always chuckle when people mention some player saying something about this player being the best, and whatnot. Bryant also made the all-star team in 2014 and an all-defensive team in 2011. The guy is inherently overrated.

Me on Brandon Bass: "He's arguably mentally retarded"

[L8krH8tr]

everyone knows thats a joke. Lebron would back him down until his other rotator cuff tears.

[JT123]

damn looks like prime bran in the finals

funny how you diss Kobe for shooting 38% on the season in his 19th year coming off an inury

yet prime healthy bran just shot 38% in the finals

Bran was fighting through at least 5 injuries. Also, he shot 40 percent in the Finals, while Kobrick shot 37 percent on the season. Pretty sad that you have to outright lie in order to debate the FACTS that I presented.
