Now that dust has settled, what do we think about Kobe Braent?
Was he elite?
Elite at getting carried
no.
Curry has had a much greater career, obviously
he's a top 20 player all time and his wife is hotter than curry's wife. thats all that really matters at the end of the day.

Maybe top 50 all time
Nah, not a guy who can carry, great Robin though
second best SG of all time
top 10 player
>>66811783
Elite? Nah, he a god now, son

He only player that reminded people of the jordan days without mimicking jordan every game
He was a one of kind player and unlike jordan went out with a bang by actually trying this final season as opposed to just walking half court , pass , shoot , miss , walk back to bench and don't come in for another 20 minutes .
I'm not even a laker fan and kobe was a douchebag to friends at times but god damn he made the sport fun to watch in his prime and I will miss that
now we're going to be stuck with curry and the chuckcuck shooters for the next decade alongside copy cats
No one missed more shots than Kobe.
He will always be remembered as the GOAT brickchucker
i dont care about autistic rankings
all that matters was he was always fun to watch and youre lying if you never tried to hit fadeaways like him during pickup

>hipster fags and fags in general will continue to use this like it means something
>they never watched prime kobe and just hopped on the cav/GS bandwagon

LeBron would have to miss his next 5000 FGA to tie Kobe.
Facts about failure are only "hipster" to kobe dickriders

I watched both of them play in their prime, and Kobe is pretty elite.
No one ever talks about the differences between illegal defense and the majority of the era Kobe played in ... it actually helped team defense stop 'gotta go fast' on everyone because they could slip a big over to help-d without having to hide it.
I sometimes think that Jordan in this era would have a FG% more similar to Kobe's, but then I remember shit like his reverse-hand layup and I go "who knows" and stick another TL;DR dick in my mouth.

That list is full of HoFers (MJ is 6th). It just proves he's played a long time. He's 3rd in all-time makes, only surpassed by 2 bigs who have naturally higher percentages. Averaged 45% in his career as a guard which is considered great. Learn basketball mate.

He shot like 45% on his career you fucking dolt.
