Yes, he never said "Kobe is easily the best" or any of that other crap you said he did. He simply answered the question who is the best right now, and he said "If I choose somone, it would be Kobe"
well i guess he meant he is easily the best right now.
Agreed. Kobe in the top ten of all time is laughable, considering (I hate to say this) he hasn't done ANYTHING as the leader of his team. He'll have a shot at top ten within the next few years, but at the moment, he's not even close.
I've idolized kobe ever since I started following basketball. I've modeled my game after him and everything. And I wish the best for him but Im not stupid enough to say hes top 10 ever and anyone who does apparently has no knowledge of the legends that played this game. sry lakerfreak. do I think he'll end up top 10..yes, I think he'll end up top 5 actually, but to make that statement right now is ridiculous.

He wasn't even the best on his team when he won those 3 championships.
Now that he is the man running the team, they get dropped in the 1st round like a Raja Bell clothesline. He is the best righttt! D.Wade is a better overall player than K.O.B.E.

Until Kobe plays a team game I don't know if I can call him the best. That's the NBA's problem now.
But it's not crazy to say such a thing... Just because MJ said it that doesn't make it true. C'mon guys.... Listen to Barkley/Pippen and other former greats. Despite the fact that they had great careers, they say so much crazy stuff that it almost makes you want to forget they were top 50 players.

But of all time, Kobe is easily top 10. easily
No he isn't. He doesn't even play a team game. There's still a few years to change is flaw, but his play in that last game againest the Suns really gave me a sour feeling. Not impressed.

a sour feeling because he didn't play enough of a team game in game 7 against the suns? did you even watch that game?
Very few posters on ISH don't acknowledge the fact that Kobe is the most talented INDIVIDUAL player in the world. I would argue he is not the best basketball player (basketball is, afterall, a team sport). I would also argue that he has more talent then anyone else in the NBA right now.
I don't see why Laker fans are going nuts. MJ is just saying what most of us think already. Also, MJ is biased because Kobe plays a very similar style to his. Studies show that people are more prone to like things that they can relate too and that they see themselves in.
Anyone remember when Scottie Pippen said Carmelo was better then Dirk?
He is the best righttt! D.Wade is a better overall player than K.O.B.E.
