“Kobe was never the greatest player in the league” is such a crazy take that only exists after he passed and it pisses me off every time.
During the mid-late 2000s, everyone knew who the best player in the league was. The fans. The players. People said it freely
Wait… Kobe Bryant LED THE 2000s IN SCORING… while having a TS% of 5️⃣5️⃣.9️⃣
Which is higher than:
LeBron James
Kevin Garnett
Tim Duncan
Carmelo Anthony
Vince Carter
Tracy McGrady
& MANY more..
How was he this efficient?! 🤯
