kobe or bron?

Lebron is the best player ever

They are in similar tiers, but to me at this point it's pretty clearly Lebron. You can have the conversation for sure, but other than "ringz" and a longevity edge I can't really see too much in Kobe's favor.

My personal top-10 post merger:
10. Garnett
9. Bird
8. Robinson
7. Hakeem
6. Magic
5. Kobe
4. Shaq
3. Lebron
2. Duncan
1. Jordan

Garnett lololololololololol

Who would you put there? There are about four other viable choices in my eyes: either Moses or Karl Malone, Barkley, Dirk. Other than that I don't think anyone else is really in the conversation.

No one else really?

Russell, Chamberlain, Kareem, Erving just for starters

Post-merger. Erving is cool too, I personally don't look at his ABA days to compare him.

Let's put it this way. I would have to sit down and think about it but I'm not sure if Garnett cracks my top 50.

LOL!

Kobe?

He's a better version of Vince Carter. Ok ok that might be too harsh. But Kobe is a tier lower than Lebron and Jordan. I might even throw Timmy into that top tier.

Lebron is a mix of the GOAT and Magic. This finals performance of his cements him as #2. If he somehow comes back to win I'll gladly give him the GOAT title. Kobe would have been swept and poured in game 4. I don't think even the GOAT would've survived this series. Not with your alternative options being Mosgov, Delly, and JR Smith.

What Lebron is doing is like that player I created in 2k would have done. It's not his fault his dumbass GM traded wiggins for Love or passed up on a Faves and Exum trade. It's not his fault Kelly Olenick is an idiot or that Kyrie is made of glass.

You do realize Bron basically forced the Cavs to trade for Love, right?

 

[RandyForRubio]

Honestly, anybody taking Kobe over Bron is a grade A dumbass.
