Kobe checks every box over Kawhi up to this point in their careers - Stephen A. | First Take 

People have been pointing this out forever tbh. It's not just "now".

@@blanktrigger8863 foreal, i grew up a lakers fan and I constantly heard about "Kobes overrated" and "Kobe is trash he just has a good team" and all that nonsense

@@Calilou52 Right. Though I'm not saying it's 100% true, for anybody to pretend like it's new would be prisoner of the moment.

Yes because we have the greatest of all all time Lebron james which is far far better than kobe

@@Err_Or-dw8wq so you're saying no other player matters, only Lebron? Only Lebron is a legend? Stupid.

Playoffs are kinda shitty tbh, a lot of games are blowouts. The first round was trash. But hopefully the conference finals and Finals are better

Josh Galvan hell naw these playoffs have been great so far, how has it been trash almost every matchup has gone to 6 games

@@joshnyjets69 as a lifelong GSW fan, I don't know who is gonna win and it feels incredible. That's all you can ask for, the element of surprise.

Terrance McLean ratings are always down when there isn’t a great dominant team or player. Jordan era didn’t have much parity, but ratings were quite high then in the 2000’s ratings were down until Lebron arrived. Generally speaking tho the league is doing better than ever it’s just that some people are not really basketball fans and will only watch when they believe history will be made, basketball fans tho watch whatever happens. This year playoffs have been more open then they’ve been in the last 10 years and as a long time NBA fan I think it’s great, fuck the ratings, I enjoyed watching the Pistons and Spurs win way more than I did watching the Heat and Warriors.

@@drunkenmasterii3250 As a Warriors fan I agree. I want as much competition as possible. No one wants a free pass even if it means championships. I want to sit there and know if we win, we beat the best of the best.

That's because Kobe had played like 10 years before kawhi and immediately inserted into a take as many shots as you want role....which he does and he has a pretty low percentage. Kobe played for like 20 years -- obviously throughout that time getting tons of opportunities to take last shots, he's going to make a good amount. But people obviously don't remember that enormous amount of last shots he missed. Kobe missed 16 straight game tying or go ahead last shots in a row. SIXTEEN. I didn't even know that was possible

Curry!!

@Not so Wealthy Gamer that's his fault he did that

jhaz89 lmao lies, Kobe didn’t start for 2 years. So no he didn’t get to take as many shots as he wanted immediately

@@BabyKobeeee well also because he was a role player majority of his career

Well, he has just as many FMVPs. I can see an argument.

That isn’t the argument you stupid people don’t listen. Under Pressure and in big moments who’s better NOT WHOS BETTER OVERALL!

@@kylegriffin5222 Kobe was 100× better in big moments and had a lot more big moments I been a fan for over 20 years and only Michael has had more pressured big moments than Kobe so yes still a stupid argument. Kawhi is awesome but Kobe faded away over defenders to hit game winners.

@@kylegriffin5222why be disrespectful bruh. I called the argument stupid but calling people stupid WTF that shit can get you hurt in the real world.

Rick James Kawhi is only 27 he’s far from done

Edmundo Garcia that’s because max is telling you what he sees. His opinion is unbiased

Kobe is over rated and beneath lebron and mj

im alaire fan since 2008 but i still think lebron is better

Kobe is better than Lebron. He wouldve at least made playoffs this year with the team they had. Get off lebron nuts he over rated in the west shows it! Im laker fan..

Kevin Phillips lol only deluded laker fans would think Kobe > LeBron

yup era so Kobe was a better defensive player than kawhi ?

Kahwi might be the best stretch defender since scott pippen. Bad argument

if ur honestly arguing jobes a better defender than leonard its not even close. lol

Atleast 7 of those were undeserved

But its not about whos the better defender

The numbers disagree

Kawhi is better in the clutch no debate

@@RandomShowerThoughts sarcasm?

@@sloppygorilla3098 what Numbers? Kobe had better numbers at age 27

Jidam Altamirano I’m talking about kobes inefficiency in clutch moments, yet people still say he’s a killer

17 years....not 15

You don't know what kinda pain kwahi was in. That was such a stupid thing to say.

And that's why his last couple of years he wasn't great as he could be.

Lol but I certainly remember him blowing a 3-1 lead to the suns and refusing to shoot in game 7. But “mamba mentality” am I right?

Sweet Sauce Well played my friend

Kawhi has been the best 2 way player for a few years now. Kobe Bryant was never on that level. He was decent but not great when it comes to defense. Not close to Kawhi . Back to back defense of the year is elite. That's great. LOL

TheBIueSpirit max is not saying Kobe wasn’t a good defensive player he’s saying that up to that point in both of their careers kawhi has proven to be a better teammate under pressure we’re as Kobe would have tooken 45 shots and made 16 no offense to Kobe tho

@@quintonluster4886 Kobe was on that level defensively, what the hell are you talking about?

Kawhi is 2 time DPOY.

Also Phil Jackson himself said that Kobe was an overrated defender.

Lost all credibility when he said Khawi better than Kobe.

I didn’t know Max said oh my lord somebody helps me

Tk Kirkland that’s true too lol

King RJ on yesterday’s episode towards the end. Stephen A went crazy haha I couldn’t believe it

I think he was saying 2009 Pau Gasol better than 2014 Tim Duncan. He's not wrong about that

The funny thing is. If you compare Kobe to Kawhi at their peak, age 27 and 28, Kobe is better. rTS% is the same pts per 75 kobe is 3.3 points higher PER kobe is 1.1 points higher AST% kobe is 1.3% higher Also Kobe didn't have shaq or gasol, this were the years when Kobe had trash teammates and was receiving pretty much all double teams. Kawhi had Lowry/Siakam/PG. This isn't even a close argument. Kobe was as efficient as Kawhi, but could score at a higher rate and create for teammates at a higher rate, in an era that was had more physical basketball than today.

Joco and they act as if the final shot is synonymous with clutch...

Ezaarkash i agree

Kobe being the closet to Michael only equates for their game being the same COSMETICALLY

Just because kobe copied Jordan doesn't make him better than LeBron or kawhi and he isn't as good as LeBron and so far kawhi has lead his own team to an NBA finals and has 2 finals MVP's at the age of 27 so he's better than Kobe was at the same age because he is the Alpha not the 2nd guy like kobe's first 3 rings playing alongside the 3 time finals MVP Shaq.

@@yunggpacino the championship raptors wouldn't beat the celtics that kobe beat in the finals. He only won because of the Warriors injuries, everyone knows that

Well if we're going to do what if's let's go!! ...The Lakers would've never beaten the Celtics if the Celtics kept Kendrick Perkins!

I hope you saying that as a compliment

Ronzell McPeters nah molly can be fired now

Ronzell McPeters why do you hope

@@main_event_ki4351 I hope it's a compliment because fuck Molly

it was so relieving lol

Lol how so? Shaw won the first 3 for kobe

@Minimal Interest lol kobe was amazing, feels weird to argue against kobe. Having said that shaq' s 3 straight finals mvp awards would argue that that kobe needed shaq.

jman not really. Jordan got 6 fmvps and wouldn’t have even sniffed a ring had it not been for Scottie. Also Kobe averaged 27 ppg in the playoffs with Shaq, we gotta stop acting like shaq did everything. If Kobe needed shaq so bad why did he go three straight finals and get two rings without him?

@@thatbastardtony9445 why was he never finals mvp w8th shaq on the team

jman you ain’t even answer my question Brody 😂😂

They won't let him be great retired. They never let him be great playing either.

Well Lebron is on the level kawhi IS not!

Fox Fairchild Leonard is a more complete player.

Rich Ə Wrych first lebron? What the fuck are you smoking? Lebron is definitely better than kobe but kawhi’s not.

Not so Wealthy Gamer i respect your opinion and you’re a kobe fan but it doesn’t mean that mj picks kobe over lebron means kobe is better. Most people compare mj and lebron in the goat conversation. Kobe is being compared to jordan because he copied jordan’s style of play. I’m not even a lebron fan. This debate on kobe and lebron ended years ago.

the numbers don't lie

Dreadnaught2517 he gave the name to himself

This man doesn't know basketball, Kobe didn't earn that name

Dam right Mamba mentality

Its cool to see this. They barely ever mention Kobe when it comes to comparisons. Kawhi is a great comparison to be mentioned with Kobe.

B Mikhalkov yeah cuz all the competition when Kobe played were push overs and scrubs huh 😂 fuck outta here

B Mikhalkov Those Heat teams were nothing special. The Shaq and Kobe Lakers would have destroyed them.

@B Mikhalkov That's how the game works bron never matched up against kobe in the finals

😂😂😂

😂

Whatever they have Jay and Stephan A just say its Kobe with no data to back them up and we are just meant to bow and go oh well done its Kobe

KOD They do the same thing w Jordan. They expect everyone to blindly dick ride them niggas just bc lol

Pretty much 🤦🏻‍♂️

No actually Max has shown statistics to back up his statements as of 97 games kawhi has the better clutch numbers and there's nothing you can do about it besides get emotional.

MAX PULLED UP DATA BACKING HIS ARGUMENT WHat EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT ANYTHING YOU SAY SIR???

@Aye herington_ the numbers don't lie

Nathan Huizar facts

He missed way more of "those" shots than he made

Harley Jons lmfao your literally hating on Kobe for no reason, dude shot 45% when he was getting double teamed at every game, but was still capable of making those shots.

@@mykellharris1 umm I don't think you know what hate is you clearly weren't around to watch Kobe tho

Harley Jons i was able to watch Kobe, that’s why I’m able to actually tell why Kobe is so good. You on the other hand obviously haven’t. You just used he has the most misses as your point, that’s just dumb. If your gonna try and make a top 10 player of all time, look bad, then you really need to do better.

Molly funny asf💯💯

Max is pointing out stats and numbers. Stephen A is making excuses and nonsense. Max is sadly right.

jo pump Watching games with your own eyes> Stats and numbers

@@jopump9907 max is failing to see the way the game was played back then. let kawhi get his ass kicked in the more physical era and see if he can still score like that. Kobe was no where in his prime when he first started and he stillaveraged superstar numbers without relying on the three and faced those tough odds, while kawhi was older when he first won his finals mvp with the help of duncan, parker, ginobili, and coach pop. Max is stupid

@@jopump9907 Max is not right, you need to take everything else into consideration. Jimmy Fredette is averaging 30 some points in China, is he better than Kobe too then?

That’s what I’ve been thinking since they brought up this topic.. it’s a damn shame, I hated Kobe. Now all of a sudden, I love him.

How

@Careful! i'm a retard Kawhi over Kobe is Ridiculous. Absolutely a Joke. 1 title, 1 Finals MVP What else?? Great defender. Just got a outside jumper a few yrs ago, really good post scorer but hasn't had the Playoffs accomplishments, wins, or Rings on Kobe's level. He's Definitely not more skilled than Kobe. Let's talk about a man who from 1996 to 2002 won his three titles and then 2 more in 2009 and 2010 to win 2 Finals MVPS (5 Total Titles within a 10 year span now let that sink in). Then has one regular Season MVP even though he got robbed when they gave it to the great Steve Nash for what he did with the Suns. 17 time All Star, 9 All NBA Defensive selection & Record, 1997 Slam Dunk champ, 81 point game, 12 All Defensive team, 12 threes, 2 Olympic Gold medals, 60 in Finale. Not Lebron who is 3-6 in Finals, not even Kawhi is on this Level. Stop hating and start Appreciating the Goat & MJ. By the way 5-2 in Finals, MJ of course 6-0!! Sad when people don't know damb Basketball

The bottom line is: who do you want taking the championship game winning shot Kobe or Kawhi? Before this topic became a topic everyone even people who are not fans of Kobe would have said Kobe.

@Careful! i'm a retard don't be fooled by the stat kid. You sound like you've never played basketball before. Just ask LeBron and the whole Olympic squad of 2012 when kobe brought back the gold medal to the US. Like Stephen A said, kawhi has never been exposed to the moments that kobe has been exposed and had to endure.

Loll

Facts!!!! Ayesha Curry said she want Male attention and Steph playing like a rookie

I want to give this a thumbs up but it has 24 so I'll leave it alone.

He was afraid that Vanesa would take half lmao. They got married in 2001 and the case was going on in 2003. He put himself in a bad situation, by getting accused, but I don’t think he should get credit for creating more pressure for himself. This is like saying Kawhi needs to get accused of sexual assault to have a comparison 🤷🏽‍♂️ that’s nonsense.

Talk about it!! People forget about that. People forget quick about all that Kobe did. One a championship against the Celtics with a broken finger on his SHOOTING hand and played 70% of that season that way

Kobe was playing with injuries and still killing it on an era where defense was a lot more intense.

thats a tough job godamn

stacysharena did you even watch the video? nobody said kawhi and kobe were on the same level. he said kawhi is MORE CLUTCH at this point of their careers. which is true

@@violenttfashion yeah i watched it and do not agree with it!

lol don't put disrespect on Kawhi's name cuz he is raw and has the ability to surpass Kobe one day

Lol,pass who?

They was washed

Shaq was on Kobe's team bruh.

@@chiggsytube that's 1 players compared to 3

@@christheclamper6614 WHAT DO YOU MEAN! the only reason kawhi won finals MVP was because he clamped up LeBron and also kawhi averaged 18ppg in that series and duncan was still incredible in the post.

@@TheQuailLord467 so we gonna ignore Kobe at age 22 dropping back to back 40 point games on TD!!!

QUICK TO FORGET 21-23 years old Kobe in the playoffs was a different beast

Kobe a beast I criticize him but I don’t commit blasphemy like this. This isn’t even blasphemy this is just straight up disrespectful that they comparing a puppy to the total body of work of Kobe bean Bryant

Kobrick

Literally every great player has their game reflected on after they retire...

Why you gotta do CJ dirty like that?

This should be a Lebron topic but they cant do that to the bitch nigga

gdc615 Is that what you say when you shoot the basketball? Cuz I say Kobe! cuz you know...I make them.

And his shots over tight defense.. These guys dont know what they were saying... Under pressure... Please... Haha...

@@lauroguerrero1148 the numbers don't lie

@@yeayea8448 but what is the use of stats and numbers if a player has no will to win, this guy plaued injuries over injuries, adversities and scrutiny... Basketball was his safe haven and sanctuary... People should be realizing that there's no one next to MJ who had embodied the same work ethic and dedication like the great Mamba did.

1 good playoff series ? You're joking right...he's been ballin every playoff series with the Spurs

Wyatt Hunter think he meant to say one successful playoff championship run

There not saying that he is just saying that the claw is having a better career than Kobe was at this point of his his career

@@wyatthunter987 suns mavs rockets

Jah Jah King Get em Jah!...Call him a bitch next time too!

Single coverage actually means 81. The raptors coach tried to make a point that they didn't need to double team and the rest is... well history. People also forget he would make several shots in a row, late game, to get his team even within a possession just to fall short. That counts as a failure in crunch time when in reality it was entirely his will to win that even got them in position.

They never will because there's an agenda out there to destroy the legacy of Kobe and that's their only argument for lebron

Typical narratives backed by emotions.

PREACH!! I wish Molly could see this comment and share it with em and let them debate that!.

This comment needs more attention

by the way, 2003 called

The league today is more talented that it ever was

Dwayne Cali MJ, Lebron, Magic, Kareem, Bill Russell

No way Kobe is a top 5 player, top 10 at least. Worst shot selection of any player.

@@hdbuckets8154 you right, but his worst shot selection is better than these players best shot selection: smush Parker, devin George, kwame brown, Brian cook, sasha vuicic. Kobe hooped with absolute scrubs in the post Shaq era until PG came. He's the number 2 2 guard all time.

@@lachlanbeggs6386 I don't have Russell or LeBron over Kobe. I'll give you the other guys.

Dwayne Cali to be fair, it’s about era’s. I’m 18 so I’ve grown up watching prime lebron really. Options differ so respect man

I'm 6'2 Seriously! They are constantly disrespecting Kobe smh

It’s debatable cz Kawhi is still young and has like 5-7 more good years in him...he has accomplished more individually than Kobe had by 26

@tony tonyt Kobe didn't do enough? lmao how?

@@matthewcook8044 You dumb Kobe is top 3 or 5 all time and an all time shot maker Kawhi ain't been in no situation close to having to be clutch like Kobe

Max is pointing out stats and numbers. Stephen A is making excuses and nonsense. Max is sadly right.

I bet you'll end up changing your mind.

Kawhi is raw so...

J real you & number2 are straight dimwits. too most people the epitome of being clutch is buzzer beaters & thats the easiest criterion of it as well. Kobe has had more buzzer beaters & has done better in more ‘need to win’ moments than Kawhi. Kawhi is an amazing player but this argument is blasphemous.

Ihavenoidea also the statement you commented on wasn’t an argument it was an opinion and not a legitimate reason to debunk any argument that is going on. I LIKE KAWHI but I listen to logic and reason. The comment that started this thread is AN OPINION. I like who I like and so be it

@@ihavenoidea2616 - Kawhi's career isn't over. I said I bet he'll change his mind......meaning when Kawhi's career is over. It's too early rt now. What I stated was my opinion you dumb azz

U might be right. Remember what happened with Kobe in Colorado 2003. Could that have been Max's girl?

The Media has hated KOBE for decades, which is why he only has 1 MVP

not talking about career 👂🏾

Not with prime Shaq on your side

West is overrated

Ardin Hajihil lmao, when the second best team were the Jazz

Hesus...if he had as many clutch moments Kobe has had in his past there would b no debate..after Shaq left every night was a clutch night to try to win every game lol..

King Robinson yeah man they disrespect Df out of Kobe, it’s so sad. Man is a top 5 player of all time imo the GOAT and they talking about someone who is having his first time in a NBA playoffs carrying the load as being better.

Kobe the GOAT? Yet he stole all of Jordan's moves and still managed to average 5 less ppg than Jordan for his career on 5% less shooting lol

traydacreatorbeats wym lol he carried the spurs too fym.. spurs was a super team with kawhi

trey smith nigga I said imo....u sound like max right now.

Joe Stuehmer so what he stole all his moves, everyone in the nba steals moves. And I said imo he’s the goat. You have to learn how to shoot by watching someone else shoot , you have to watch someone else layup the ball in order to lay the ball up.

That’s the exact point max is making though he’s not saying Kawhi is better than Kobe he’s saying at this particular stage in both of there careers kawhi is better

Which is why sport journalist has to choose their words correctly. I'm not hating on Max's point even though I can't stand him.But if that's his argument then it's legit.Kawhi still got some years ahead of him.Let's see if he makes the best of it.

You are a f idiot and you have 0 stats to back up this dickryding statement.

Nah, lebron is

@@juice4528 I'm one of Lebron's biggest fans, but he's not even the best player in the NBA.

Lol everyone is dumb. Nobody even gets Max's argument.

T3rminata T exactly

People said that after MJ retired the first and second time, never say never

I thought that he was asking Molly because max and will was talking over him I did know he was checking her like that. Damn lol

wwitdtstl 😂are u dumb

Kobe liked the air balls in his sophomore season ;)

He missed one...

Manu missed one too.. Spurs had no clutch in that game.

That statement killed it all. I was with spurs for the win.

I thought I was the only person in the world who remembered that. Don't forget Kawhi was lost on defense which led to the tying 3. Pop put the loss on Kawhi

iTuber012 but he didn’t, so Kobe > Kawhi IN THE CLUTCH, not in every stat

IF

Yeah fucker "if" there's tons of "ifs"

iTuber012 here we go with LeBron

Low Distortion bro chill

Jeremy Aber with those guys age didn’t really matter cuz they had the skill set and the fundamentals to still affect the game.

Right now he dont have nobody his carrying the Raptors

Kobe also had fisher with shaq so theres your three. But does it change that from what kobe did no because he was great at what he do just like K.L. having old schools to perfect his game better even kobe saw glimpse of his game in him thats why he helped trained him the more.

TD a top 5 player but shaq was in his prime when he had kobe, kawhi had the big 3 when they were already old

Very old Duncan, parker and Ginobili*

Khawi works with Kobe every off season

Kobe Bryant gets no credit for how good Kawhi Leonard is. When Kawhi won MVP , and the Player that lead The Spurs to the Win Kobe Bryant had nothing to do with that. 2 consecutive defensive titles. Get the F out of here. Kawhi is better than Kobe Bryant., and Tim Dunkin and Ginobli were his mentors. Don't try to tie Kawhi greatness to someone you think is better than he is. LOL. It's not going to work.

#preach

That's like saying LeBron went to work out with Lonzo Ball so Lonzo is better.

Jayson Tatum went and worked with Kobe it did wonders, not saying Kobe isn’t a great player but I wouldn’t attribute Kawhi’s success to Kobe

Haks Hustle For anyone who’s wondering these are the stats for Kobe and Kawhi in the clutch in the playoffs: Kobe: 107/270= 40% and 23% from 3 Kawhi: 26/57=46% and 48% from 3

Exactly, Kawhi would surely agree. Just ESPN trying to fill up air time...

Haks Hustle not really he had a long career as an analyst for years b4 he was on tv and has covered it for decades he really doesn’t have shit to prove

@@jonathanmack6285 Stats are cute but never tell the whole story. Context is something that stats can and will never be able to tell. Something these analysts fail to realise. If that's you're argument then everything we debate should be strictly on stats and never on competition, team, era, pressure etc...

@@charlesreed8739 alright 5 rings.. 1 three peat.. 2 where he had only Paul Gasol as memorable mention.. Kawhi's ring barely even count when you have Time Duncan, Ginobli and Parker on your team.. And already a championship team. When Shaq left, he still won 2 championships... Kobe was 27 years old and scored 15,000 points. Kawhi has 8,250 points at 27. Kobe scored 81 points in a single game. With the current rules nowadays, he'd drop 100. Post-Season he has scored 50. Probably equate to 60+ nowadays. Kawhi has the potential, but to compare 1 post season/season body of work to Kobe is just not possible. If I were to also pick 1 Kobe season and Post-Season to this year with Kawhi, I'd pick Kobe. Kobe has also plenty of clutch shots in a season/post-season. I'm talking about last 5 minutes, they're losing and Kobe took over the offense. Everybody knew he was going to shoot and he took them. Kawhi in no way is a better player than a prime Kobe. Only way that Kawhi is better at is defense. That's what he got an MVP for 😂.. because he stopped LeBron from scoring over 28 points.. right now Kawhi is showing greatness.. just a glimpse.. but to say he's better than Kobe in clutch situations? GTFO here.. Max, stay in boxing bro you haven't watched that much basketball yet

Kobe was a chucker in a good system... With elite talent.. Kawhi sort of had that on the back end of their careers though.. If 27 yr old Kobe existed right now shooting 44% FG or take Kawhi shooting 60% FG and an even better defender... Who would you take...

KOD Stop embarrassing yourself idiot

Robert Banks u crazy asf lmao talking bout 2nd greatets hn

Kawhi doesn't have to agree . People have their own opinions any. Kawhi is better than Kobe. That's my opinion. So what.

@@kod5660 Kawhi is clearly a better player than Kobe Bryant. These Kobetards are something else. LOL.
