If Kobe's the NBA's best swingman, why isn't he my first choice to lead a team?

[Valiant Valor]

I'm sorry, but I've been personally grappling with this question since ISH came out with that poll a couple of months ago.

I mean, if this is indeed the case, shouldn't Kobe be an unanimous choice by everyone to be the #1 swingman to build their team around? Cause if this were true, shouldn't it be JUST as ignorant to say you'd take Wade and LeBron over Kobe as it would be to say you'd take Drexler over Jordan?

Really, when is some sort of accountability going to take place for when people casually annoint one player over the next? Why are you doing it? What qualifications give you the basis to feel the way you do? What true and distinctional seperation exist for one player to be ranked ahead of another?
You see, these are the issues that need to be unequivically answered. And if they can't be clearly answered, then there MUST NOT be a clear choice, only leaving us with the option to say ANY GIVEN CHOICE is in fact debateable.

Pretty much that's all I'm asking of ISH. Make decisions and choices, but be fair in your process.

Thank you.

He's not a great team leader.

If Kobe isn't the best swingman, why are your threads always have his name in it? Think about it...

There is nothing wrong with my thread, and all I ask for is serious responses. If you don't agree with the thread premise, just don't click on it.

It's not that hard to figure out.

Because LeBron is your first choice.

Because when you talk about a fanbase of several million people they cant be expected to agree on anything.

How often is any belief in sports unanimous? Shaq didnt even get every MVP first place vote in 2000 when he put up 30/14 and led a 67 win team. Plenty of people thought Drexler was the MVP in 92 before the finals.

Not everyone thinks Nash(or Kidd) is the best point. Not everyone thinks Lebron is the best 3. Not everyone thinks Duncan is the best 4.

Thats how the world works. I was once told Steve Francis at his peak was better than Jordan was in 98.


"If a lot of people think ____ is the best why dont I?" just isnt a reasonable question to ask to me.

Okay...is consensus too hard to ask for?

Let me ask you...if everything was equal what current swingman would you chose to lead your team?
