Re: How good is Kobe?

I'm tired of arguing with ya'll. Kobe's a gamer and he's the best SG in the L. I said he ain't Jordan but when he gets in that "zone" he can dominate a game. I'm goin to watch some [censored] ESPN postgame coverage.

I don't see how clutch shots make Kobe better than McGrady.

lol, me neither. If thats the case, Reggie Miller is better than McGrady. Kobe hasnt even caught Miller in terms of making huge clutch shots, let alone Jordan. This has to be a joke.

its simple when you put your team in a better position to win...your clutch...kobe is more clutch than mac...maybe even regg...

but....neither kobe or mac make their teammates better...so its a wash...i guess

yeah how many points did the two other hall-of-famers score?

oh right 11.

More to basketball than points scored.

Ok I have really only read the first couple posts in this thread, but you all really need to lighten up. No one is saying Kobe = MJ. Kobe isn't near MJ. BUT, you can't deny all the clutch shots Kobe has made no matter how big of a ***** you are. MJ made big shots. Kobe makes big shots. Seriously, when was the last time the game was on the line and Kobe missed the shot? Doc Rivers would probably agree with me when I say Kobe is no where near Jordan in accomplishments but in terms of making clutch shots, Kobe is right up there with Jordan. Don't let your hate blind you from his greatness!

<hr /></blockquote>

People are saying that GeePee. I have gave Kobe props for his game. People don't see that because I say he's no MJ and I like Mac that's all. Doc Rivers was saying over and over that he is just like MJ.

He has hit some clutch shots, noone can take that away, but he still has Shaq eclipsing his "greatness"

<hr /></blockquote>

Which begs the question, who should we believe? The Forum guys, are Doc Rivers, a guy who's actually watched and played against the likes of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, etc... and just got through from coaching another great player.

Here's another question. How come no one discredits Magic's legacy because he had Kareem Abdul Jabbar and James Worthy? Or Larry Bird's, because he had Kevin Mchale and Robert Parish?

The guy was carving up a good defensive Spurs team. It's just sometimes, he seems to be able to get what he wants, much like another great SG in NBA history. That's what I think makes Kobe on the road to Greatness. Now bringing MJ into the argument for comparison, that's how he used to be.
