10 years and running the only player you willing to compare players to is LeBron.
By not saying who's better between KD and Kobe you proved you a Kobe and MJ stan like all the others on this board bruh. You dont have to fake the Curry stuff no more. We all know MJ and Kobe are really your guys hence your bias towards LeBron and rooting for every NBA superstar from Kobe to Carmelo to KD to Kawhi to Steph to beat him the last decade.
I literally had to tag you to post in this thread. You dont wanna say nothin bad about your hero Kobe? Is Steph better than him too?

Hire a better writer this new season of you stinks fam.
You didn't have to tag me, you thought of me PAUSE
In your desperate windmilling someone who has never been mistaken for a kobe maximalist has to fit in some box so you can comprehend and feel better.
Im not here to do that for you
You can't box me into your limited scope
Oh now I'm not actually a Steph fan it's cause I root for kobe and jordan
This made sense when you wrote it
I compare players to other players all the time
But also it's been proven not to trust anything you'll say about me because you'll flat out lie.
If you're ever in the bay hit me up I'll take you to the cool spots
The underground african food joints
The heritage and black panther shit
This nba stuff is a lost cause you been lost for years and that's ok you still a brother
It's sad to see you like this .
Its sad to see you deflect from a topic 30 other people addresssed. All these paragraphs but no direct comparison. You avoided my Iverson vs. Steph thread the same way. People used to take your NBA takes more serious. We really believed you were a non biased fan. Now we know youre just a LeBron hater/Jordan stan/shopper like everyone else on this board. And show favoritism to players just for being born light skinned. The least you could do is be honest bruh, that deceptive shit is wack.
I can’t put KD over Kobe when Kobe won a chip wit Mbenga, Bynum, Morrison and them other niggas
I'm not ranking them as players. I'm talking SOLELY as an offensive player. Durant running over to GS was trash to me. Durant going to a team that won 73 games the season before was the absolute easiest road to a title in sports history.
Jordan stans are against stats now and are so measured when saying someone is better at something than MJ or Kobe. All that for marrying white women?
I didn't want to be in here because I don't care to argue about this topic that's how things work
If you don't care about the topic you don't go into the thread.
I came in here because you sought me out PAUSE
He said "We really believed"
lmaooooooooooooooooooo This cat is all kinds of deranged at this point and it's OK went from will i talk about kobe and kd because I'm not a steph fan and i am a jordan fan lebron hater less than 2 posts ago
to now i am again a steph fan because he was born light skinned
you're the nic cage of bgol
your mind be gone in 60 seconds
Still no direct basketball comparison between Kobe and KD. I know you miss him dude. You will compare KD to Steph even post metrics detailing your argument but not to Kobe?
But you not an MJ/Kobe stan? You dudes love for swirlers is hilarious.The funny thing is the advanced stats have Jordan as a top 1-3 player and definitely the best guard. To see the stans discount that now proves what I’ve been saying for damn near 20 years. They still don’t know shit about the game and only parrot what the most popular talking head on TV is saying.Jordan stans are against stats now and are so measured when saying someone is better at something than MJ or Kobe. All that for marrying white women?
Your AD is more important than LeBron takes are based off him being light skinned. Instant respect that aint based off basketball or actual production. LeBron minus AD whoops the Dubs twice by 30 this year and you aint even post. Then 2 weeks later you talking 2017 Finals again? Weak.
Their love for certain players is based on their proximity to white people not their stats. Thats why they NOW say stats dont matter. Pull up threads from 2010-2012 and some of these same stans were posting and championing stats. If you married to a white woman look at the natural deference you get in these discussions.
Cats quietly want to whiten the game.
KD games scoring 50 or more = 7
Kobe games scoring 50 or more = 26
If I'm picking a G.O.A.T. team from the past 20 yrs KD and Kobe are on it, but if ai can only have 1 and I need to build a team around them.. Kobe
Kobe actually lead teams that would be .500 or less without him to playoffs and 'ships. Dude played the equivalent of 3 additional seasons worth of playoff games.....that's insane

KD when he couldn't beat GS he joined them. Kobe when Shaq left had to deal with Kwame Brown & Smush Parker. His best years were completely wasted on shit teams. He never ran away. Yeah he complained the whole time cause he wanted some halfway decent guys to play with and as soon as he got a good #2 he won two more chips.
Comparing a dude who can't win without having an avengers line up vs kobe lmao bgol!
I can respect that.
Take a hike
What does kobe do better? Niggaz ain't told me a single thing all day. He's definitely a better defender. What else though? Niggaz get emotional and say take a hike but ain't told me shit
Bron started that shit lmaooI'll call him a bitch for you bruh. It was forever bitch shit. We cannot justify and reason bitch shit. That's why shit is so fucked up nowadays in the NBA. Everybody accepts these come help me out ass niggas and nobody seemingly wants to compete.
Fuck him too. Line them come help me out ass niggas up and point out all of them. They all bitch ass niggas bruh. We collectively cannot get comfortable with this shit.
When somebody brings a gun to a fist fight are you still going to try to use your fist if your opponent is shooting at you? Or will you understand that nig going for a gun to? if a guy pulls out a 6 shooter and the other person goes for a ak47 are you gonna say hey that’s unfair dude pulled out an ak47 when he initially wanted to use his knuckle game?.. this is what kd did when people said nothing about Lebron reaching for the 6 shooter when getting his superteams together.. kd using his fist for yrs on okc and saw another nig get praised for using a 6 shooter.. so he said fuck it I’m reaching for an ak-47 .. now people call him a bitch..nah the bitch who reaches for the gun first don’t be mad if the other dude ends up pulling outta a bigger gun.. don’t reach for something if you ain’t ready for the outcome if it dosent go your way... the kd move is the direct result of the James moveYup. And he's the ultimate come help me out ass nigga. Doesn't mean he's not one of the greatest ever to play. Means he's a come help me out ass nigga. No one can deny it. Even that bitch ass nigga King Twerp has to admit it!!!!
I thought KG was traded to Boston
I agree 100%. Your right. They ALL SOME BITCH ASS COME HELP ME OUT ASS NIGGAS. I'M NOT LETTIN NOBODY SLIDE BRUH.
Yeah he was "traded" but he didn't want to stick around through a rebuild and by his own words it was his choice to leave.
Kevin Garnett: Missed Call to Kobe Bryant Opened Trade to Celtics, Not Lakers
Kevin Garnett claims his inability to connect with Kobe Bryant in 2007 hurt the Lakers' chances of a trade for him.

Kevin Garnett: Missed Call to Kobe Bryant Opened Trade to Celtics, Not Lakers
Retired forward Kevin Garnett will have his No. 5 hung from the rafters in Boston, the Celtics recently announced and though he was only in town for six seasons, he had a significant impact on the franchise. The Celtics sent a truckload of draft picks and players to Minnesota in the summer of 2007 for Garnett, who joined Paul Pierce and the recently acquired Ray Allen in a ‘Big Three’ that turned a flailing franchise into a juggernaut, winning the 2008 NBA championship and reaching the 2010 Finals.
In both of those championship series, Garnett and the Celtics faced off against Kobe Bryant’s Lakers, a team that was remade around Bryant with Pau Gasol, Lamar Odom and Andrew Bynum in the frontcourt.
But as Garnett tells it, there was a very real chance that he could have teamed with Bryant in Los Angeles rather than with Pierce and Allen in Boston — the Lakers would have given up Odom and Bynum in such a deal. Before he approved a trade, though, he wanted to talk with the principal players in whichever team he would pay for next.
He chatted with Pierce, whom he’d known for a while. He chatted with Steve Nash, because Phoenix was interested in trading for him. But he could not get hold of Bryant.
Here’s what Garnett told NBA.com’s Steve Aschbruner: “In ’07, I had a chance to go to Phoenix. I had a chance to go to the Warriors. To the Celtics, obviously, and the Lakers. I was trying to get Kobe on the phone, and he was on a Nike Italy Something [tour]. … I had to make a decision. I had a conversation with Steve Nash, and it was a terrible conversation. And I had known Paul [Pierce], Paul and I were friends from way back, 14-15 years old.”
Garnett was Reluctant to Leave Timberwolves
Garnett did not want to leave Minnesota, where he’d played since he was drafted out of high school in 1995. But the Timberwolves had missed the playoffs for three straight seasons and were 32-50 the previous year. The team accepted that it would need to rebuild. Garnett said he was talking with friends Tyronn Lue and Chauncey Billups about it at the time.
“That’s when I first started to actually think about, ‘I’ve got to leave Minny? Aw man,’” Garnett said. “Shoutout to Minny, man. I didn’t want to leave but I felt like I had no choice, too. But the opportunity in Boston was a great one, I’m glad I made the decision to do that. I’m glad I had friends, real ones, to kind of take me through that.”
Garnett certainly had some influence on where he’d be traded but the ultimate decision did come down to Timberwolves general manager Kevin McHale, who had become enamored with young Celtics big man Al Jefferson.
That probably had more of an impact on Garnett landing in Boston than his missed connection with Bryant.
Could Garnett Co-Exist with Kobe Bryant?
Of course, Garnett, Pierce and Allen survived and thrived in Boston because all three were in the latter parts of their careers and were willing to make sacrifices for the greater good. The question of a Bryant-Garnett pairing would have been whether either would have been willing to sacrifice.
Garnett was also known for being tough on teammates. He was well-liked, but also was willing to push buttons. Might that have been a problem with Bryant?
“People know me, I’m a very sure person — I don’t lack any confidence in myself,” Garnett told Aschbruner. “But I can also be a great Robin. I’m a Batman, don’t get it twisted. I can be a great Robin. Paul Pierce is a big ego, he’s a big personality. That’s what he shines at. I understood I was coming to his team, and I wanted him to know that. I played a great Robin when I had to.
“But in my own life, I’m an alpha, I’m a king, I run my own stuff. I don’t mind being able to step to the side and let someone be great also. Absolutely we could co-exist. If (Bryant) could play with Shaq he could play with me. One my greatest attributes is that I was a great teammate, whoever it was. You can ask that.”
Garnet forced a trade to Boston to play with his "friend" Paul Pierce.....his words. The media loved them. They were the first Big 3 hyped by the media as far as I can recall. Before that the league was all about "Dynamic Duos;" Mj & Pip, Karl Malone and Stockton, Kobe & Shaq, Shaq and Penny....etc

What exactly did Bron do?
Bron was a free agent. Wade wasn’t winning shit in Miami and Bosh wasn’t winning shit in Toronto.
Lebron had the plan to link up in Miami, join forces and compete for titles.
After thinking about it, I guess he did have players think about their futures and but their destines in their hands.
Replace Kobe with KD on them old OKC teams and they get a chip. Kobe never used burner accounts.
Exactly Kobe woulda NEVER been upReplace Kobe with KD on them old OKC teams and they get a chip. Kobe never used burner accounts.
1-0 to that miami team and lost 4 in a row.
Clown ass nigga wanna get into semantical bullshit. Like imma sit here and make an excel sheet to point out the obvious.
Exactly
