Anyone who doesn't think Lebron isn't the best player in the NBA right now is either a Lebron hater or just have no idea about the game of basketball. |
HAHAHA exactly what i was thinking |
Thing is I hate Lebron but you just can't deny he is the best player in the league right now. Kobe at his age, is outrageous for sure, but this is not his prime.
When you watch sports you need to try and stay objective about certain things, you just can will them to be the way you want them to be.
So as a Lakers fan would i have place a bet on the Lakers out of the first round? never ! not with my cash. Would I run my mouth and say we had a long shot, probably. But the smart money was with the Spurs/Heat. |

That's far too reasonable. |
Kobe deserves way more credit than that. Where's the middle ground on this site? That sounds like a compliment for Tim Duncan, but Kobe had 50times better of a year. Kobe played like the 2nd best player in the NBA,he shot a high % and put the team on his back/lead his team to victory more than KD. And he avg6 assists,one of his highest averages of his career. |
What about his atrocious defense? I never thought i would see the day i have to criticise my favourite player, but it's delusional fans like you that give Laker fans a bad name. It's 2013, and at this point in time Kobe is nowhere near Lebron (who i don't even like).

Kobe is not the best player in the league. He is legendary, but he is no longer the best player in the NBA. He was the best player in the NBA in 2008. |

Are Lakers fans so insecure, or is just pure hatred of other great players who are not on the Lakers? _________________ D.Moogle ~ odom raised the eyebrows of everyone in attendance,except for Charlie Villanueva"on Lamar postup" |

In recent years, sports fandom has increasingly become a hater culture. There has always been an element of hate in spectator sports, but message boards, talk radio, and the 24 hour news cycle feed the hater culture. Bill Simmons was the high priest of the hater culture, though he has toned it down. When you see the vitriol in discussions like this, about 50% of it is just the hater culture.
The other 50% is Kobe fans who fear that he will not occupy the spot in NBA lore that they think he deserves. This isn't insecurity per se. It is more a matter of frustration and disappointment. |

Honestly, not sure about Kobe still being the best player in the entire league at this point of his career but one thing is for sure, he still is the best CLOSER in the NBA. |

So it'd be wrong if I said this thread is what happens when old people are stuck in the past right?
Honestly don't be so insecure, Kobe had his run as the best player in the league for a solid 7-8 years. |

I've got no problem with people having that opinion. I'd actually probably agree with it.
Just saying, if you're going to be typing, have some idea of what you are actually saying.
I don't disagree with his original post! |

What does being old have to do with this thread? It's about having patience and perseverance. You cats needs to stop being so wishy washy in your thoughts.
Ohhh Lebron has stats!
Ohhh Lebron dunks real hard!
So what. As soon as he loses a step his entire game is gonna fall apart.
As far as I am concerned, Kobe is still the best player in the league. _________________ “There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.” ―Bruce Lee |

Hey, I am perfectly fine with that. Somebody has to be right/wrong. I prefer to rely on what I have known to be true since 1996. Kobe is not that brother you doubt. Simple as that. On top of that, I prefer to be patient.
Lebron hasn't shown me anything to suggest he's a better basketball player than Kobe. _________________ “There are no limits. There are plateaus, but you must not stay there, you must go beyond them. If it kills you, it kills you. A man must constantly exceed his level.” ―Bruce Lee |

possibly. The US is where the league actually is. Career wise? Bryant has the better resume. Bean is truly loved around the world. But as of right now, he's battling Durant for the second spot.
Number one is sewn up by James and it's really not even close. |

Durant is the best closer in the league. If we go by percentage, even LeChoke James is a better closer than Kobe. |

Really? That's like me saying Gerald Henderson is a better player than Kobe because "stats don't matter". A real basketball fan wouldn't let their biase towards their favourite player effect their understanding of who the best player in the league is. Kobe is my favourite player, and I DISLIKE Lebron, but he has been the BEST player in the league for the last 3 years at least.
Why don't you actually give us some facts and reasoning as to why Kobe is a better player in 2013 instead of "as far as i'm concerned". |
