Kobe is #2 all time behind MJ.
He’s the greatest skilled offensive player in history bar none, had more moves in his duffel bag than any other player but MJ laid out the foundation for that therefore respect shall be given. Also, 6-6 is simply insane.
But yes, the media tried hard to erase Kobe’s legacy by spewing random stats and conversations but matter of fact is, he was the most feared player in the NBA along with Shaq (2000-2011). There’s tons and tons of stories of that.
Also cooked Lebron & Wade time & time again. Had the most unstoppable fade-away in the league, only other guy is Dirk.
No he is not.
retweet. jordan in our current era would be a marcus smart clone

Players who have played against Kobe have ridiculously more weight than us arm chair experts and wwe characters like half of the media is.
Just hear stories about Kobe from them and it’s all you need to know. He was BAD. I ain’t even gotta say no more. Your favourite player probably got Bean in his Top 5.
