      Wow, underrated ass comment. You simplified what i’ve been saying for years. To add onto that, Kobe is the only top 75 player to win a championship without another top 75 player. He is also second all time in all defensive 1st teams, yet they robbed him of dpoy as well as multiple mvp’s in the 2000’s because he had a bad image after shaq left and he went through his court drama.

But second of all you’re right i was wrong about that stat, I meant to say Kobe is one of 4 players to win multiple championships without a top 75 player and he’s the only one to beat 4 50 plus teams in the post season to do so.

      Defensively maybe, but Bron is way more efficient than Kobe. This isn’t widely known but in Kobe’s final 60-point game he put up 50 shot attempts, which was a record. Bron has a higher fg%, ppg, and is more clutch. This is coming from a Kobe fan but unfortunately the stats show Lebrun is the better player.

    The mental game is half the battle, most of the time guys really didn't want smoke with Kobe.
    It's a shame Kobe got no real run his first two years, during his rookie year he got to start 6 times.
    he had a plus minus of +72 over the course of those 6 games, to go with 14.5ppg 3.1 rpg 1.8apg 1.6 spg .8 bpg and 44.8% FG
    He just never had a real opportunity early on, he probably missed out on like 1400-2000 points, which would've put him right there just a few hundred from Malone. Out of Kobe's first 150 NBA games, he only got to start in 7 games!! Clearly being elite defensively from the start while also being a huge plus for the team when on the court, he was still denied a ton of opportunity to show his greatness. As soon as he became a starter the Los Angeles Lakers won three titles in 4 seasons, and the only season the Lakers didn't win was a lockout shortened season where Kobe only got to play 50 games, adjusting to being a starter for the very first time.

    I dont understand why the vast majority of public platforms and "analysts" only focus on the offensive side of the ball when discussing the greatest of all time list?
    Start including all defensive lists as well

      Because casuals don't care about defense. I agree with you that the media is the reason why so many fans poorly rank players on the GOAT list.

    Almost half of these clips either lead to assists to an open man who scores or Kobe is called for a foul. He's got Carmelo in an armbar at 5:41 are you TRYING to show he played dirty? Not the best choices for a highlight reel.

    No one had better open their F****ing mouths about MVP's in the NBA who never made an All defensive team, until players care this much about this side of the ball they should not be considered the best. Kobe, Jordan, and James set that bar.

How could a goat average 15 PPG in the finals??? How could a goat go 6/24 FG in 2010 game 7 but still win because the Lakers had more free throws in the 4th than the Celtics did the entire game? How could the goat choke a 3-1 lead in 2006? How could a goats air ball's cost the Lakers the series vs the jazz in 98? How could a goat ride the coat tails of Shaq and Pau Gasol for championships?

    Whoever says Kobe couldn’t play great defense is smoking crack. Old Kobe could guard any 2010 star and shut them down when he wanted to. Prime Kobe had to deal with T-Mac, Vince, Nash, Ray Allen, AI, Brandon Roy, Rip Hamilton, Michael Redd. He could lock up any of them the whole game in his prime
