@willistravis14@bronhistory He's solid midrange shooter. Personally I think his rim scoring overcomes that. But like yeah he's like a top 3 - 6 scorer ever unlike the other guy in the GOAT debate who just clears everyone at 1
@willistravis14@realtalkejlt I mean, Harden is a better passer but playmaking-wise I don't think they're that far apart. Scoring wise Kobe is definitely better, and Kobe has also driven ridiculous offenses in his peak too
@thejbratc The best player in the world? Kobe was a top 10 player in all of those 3 runs though and was just as good as Shaq in 01 until he stepped back in the finals and was comparable in 02 as well
@thejbratc 2000 makes no sense when he wasn't in his prime
06 and 07 were worthless?? I thought it was a team sport?
Post-Kobe's prime and pre-kobe prime is crazy lol
@Elijah_LA_13@ohbetr That's a lie. Shai also relies a lot on footwork and angles. Luka also gets to the line more and is a more prolific foul-baiter. That isn't a bad thing but don't lie
