He's right, the only thing that stopped Kobe was injuries and everyone knows this.

yup. add Jim Jackson, Aaron Mckie, Vlade Divac - all signed to practically just sit on the bench to live out their last days in the NBA.

the fact that Kobe managed to win with Mitch's "talent acquisition skills" gets him GOAT status by default...

Always liked Neil deGrasse Dyson. He played Red in Shawshank (fun fact).

Let's just be honest and say we don't actually care about the source validating the message and that we're actually using the message to validate the source.

Yeah, they let anyone become sociology professors at Georgetown.


He is a Democratic establishment shill with little to no actual scholarly ability or talent. I happen to be quite familiar with his work.

If somebody follows basketball like really follows it in detail, then why would his opinion count less? I don't know the guy but just because he isn't a so called "expert" whatever that would actually entail when it comes to judging basketball talent, doesn't make his opinion less thought out or less credible. We all watched the same games and have different opinions on these things. I personally believe Kobe is the greatest basketball player of all time. I sit and watch Jordan games all the time and it just always looks like i'm watching a lesser version of Kobe. Jordan at the peak of his powers just doesn't quite touch Kobe at his peak.

I appreciate how sincere Doc. Dyson is; I just believe he's sincerely wrong. Jellybean Bryant's boy was one of the greatest...ever. But, for me, watching the NBA for years, I'd take Jordan over everyone other than Kareem.

Kobe never played for efficiency, as evidenced by him always taking the last quarter shots. Certain players are like that. He played his own way. Arguably the most skilled player ever. He also dealt with much more adversity on and off the court than Jordan tbh (changing roles, coaches, systems, etc).

this is true. but thats because he didnt have to touch kobe's peak. he had lesser comp at his position. thats a fact. not his fault.

jordan and bron truthfully have the mike tyson affect. Sure they are killing their comp and part of that is because they are so great. but a lot of that is because their comp isnt nearly as good as Ali's or as good as Kobe's.

kobe by far had the hardest comp to deal with at SG/SF for his size athletic ability. Kobe by far had the hardest defenses to deal with since he had to deal with semi handchecking AND zones early on in his career. we know even though the handchecking rule changed while kobe played. they never changed it for Kobe himself. meaning. he still had to deal with 1998's armbarring that technically isnt legal in today's game + the zone. So when you get by your armbarring perimeter guy like tony allen. then you face marc gasol, zbo, and some other guy setting up a wall. some guy running underneath you trying to take a quick bs charge(thats legal nowadays, that was a block in jordan's day or a no call at worse, which benefits the offensive player.)

lets take a look at two games.
Kobe's 3pt record game vs seattle. look at how many of his 3's are with a real hand in his face and are off the dribble(more difficult than a catch and shoot with no one around).




vs Jordan's (big ole bucket game vs portland. no one is guarding mike out that far. i believe this is a year when the 3pt line was moved up a bit too(correct me if i'm wrong here.)

this as well.

People do not realize how much easier jordan had it just by his coach giving him the green light all of the time to just be a scorer and only pass when necessary. Scottie's job was to facilitate the offense in all of those jordan ring years. He could also help on a great offensive player that may have been taller than MJ. since scottie was just as athletic but longer than mike.

Kobe never had that luxury. kobe was always the SG/PG who had to facilitate and "get his teammates involved." this was not jordan's job during those 6 ring years. that was scotties and kukoc's job.

There were games when phil told kobe to hit the MId post(where jordan lived) and let fisher/LO facilitate. Kobe would always drop crazy points with a high efficiency in those games. but that was not necessarily the best recipe for winning vs top level comp, especially not in the playoffs.

I guess you mean Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum, Ron Artest, Trevor Ariza, Derek Fisher. Because that is who Kobe won with. And at least one of them will be in the HOF.

You guys...come on. Your looking for any and every angle to elevate Kobe and denigrate Jordan. Every thing here is just an opinion, including Dyson's. I love Kobe. I love the Lakers more. I love the truth most.

Just my opinion, but a man who played six less seasons, took off two years in the middle of his career, and still have one more championship than my Laker legend, is telling you he was on another level.

I'm curious if we'd be talking about the comparison if he had not taken those two years off, and the Bulls could have conceivably won at least one more championship. That would be seven championships, and again in six less seasons.

I'm a Laker fan, but I'm not blind.
