My opinion Lebron shouldn't even be mention in the goat conversation. He won 4 championships and loss 6 out of 10 finals. So what makes him be in the conversation. Steph has 4 championships with one organization
The hell SAS talking about Kobe most definitely is in the GOAT conversation. I like Jordan, I like LeBron but, damn it Kobe is in the GOAT conversation…FOH SAS!!
Kobe is in the conversation 5 championships. Lebron doesn’t have the killer instinct. Lebron has 4 and the 4 th is in the bubble which many question because it was less time. Magic even says Kobe is the greatest
So Magic didn’t have that showtime lakers squad?? Kobe had Shaq play we get it Lebron had how many hall of fame players on his championship teams n top 75 players yea SAS gtfo bro be full of bs
Lebron had to run away from his hometown to create a super team, and only went back to Cleveland after forming a 2nd super team. Also Lebron has depended on the play in tournament to even make the playoffs the last 3 years
Everybody knows kobe was a goat. The only player who won rings without a top 75 player on his team. No shade to lebron or mike but they never had to will subpar talent to rings they teams got better. Not kobes, he was supposed to get cp3, never happened but the other guy (lebron) has the best teams ever assembled, and thats the only way he ever won.
Just say you hate Kobe. Stop pretending you have a real objective opinion. You guys have orders to glaze mj and Bron but any REAL hoops analyst can see Kobe was better than both of them. Mj never could handle Kobe when Kobe got to play, had less skills, MORE HELP than Kobe as y’all always minimize mj’s teammates and give mj their flowers. Bron isn’t even fit to be in the conversation as his skill level and drive are at best dubious. You praise mj and Bron for slightly better stats vs far inferior opponents and defenders. Kobe would have won at least 8 straight with those bulls teams vs those inferior opponents.
Oh god, shut up. Kobe patterned his whole game after Jordan even tried to walk, talk and act like Jordan down to hanging his tongue out. You're showing your ignorance if you think Kobe's game was better than Jordan's. Doesn't mean you can't prefer him to Jordan but mindlessly trying to diminish Jordan to elevate him is a fools errand.
Na you just like Kobe way more than the other 2 and there’s no problem with that but anyone who disagreed with Stephen a’s take would disagree with yours more even if they did want to put kobe in that discussion
When Kobe was alive Stephen A. Smith used to brag about how Kobe was the best basketball player --on the PLANET, and that was while lebron was in the league. You can’t be the best basketball player on the planet at any given time and not be apart of the G.O.A.T conversation. End of story ! We will never forget
What about Kareem and magic playing together? LeBron playing with D. Wade, Bosh, Kyrie, Kevin Love, Westbrook, Carmelo, and AD. But cause Kobe played with Shaq 😂
i would take shaq's take regarding kobe's name should be in the goat convo, more than any mic licking people like smith, etc. same as more players take kobe ahead of anybody not named mike
Kobe is better than Lebron n has more championships so he should clearly be part of the convo. Shaq never won until he got Kobe so Shaq is a bum according SAS's logic. Shaq would never even sniff the finals again if Kobe didnt hard carry him all through out the playoffs. Shaq only has Finals MVP cuz ever Center in the finals was so dogshit it would be stupid not to make Shaq the main focus cuz he has the mismatch but KOBE was the only reason they even got there because he was the closer. Lebron only won with Bosh n Wade so technically those rings shouldnt count if Kobes rings with Shaqs dont count. MVP is media voted award so i dont even want to hear that bullshit
I absolutely have to put Kobe in front of LeBron...truth be told I have to put Kobe next to MJ. If you really do the your homework Kobe is number 2 in front of LeBron. That's just my opinion.
Between the three when the game is on the line who do you want to have the ball? MJ. Kobe copied his game after MJ. Calling him at all hours of the night. Lebron wore his number. Both wanted to be like Mike. Case closed. Get another topic to talk about. Jump man!
