@omcdaily 3 года назад

Facts on facts

@stevenbrown1762 3 года назад

@Leland Joseph kobe was by far the most underrated great of all time. He was costantly in and out of the all time top 10 because people always said he was just another version of Jordan. Some people have him in top 10 most people didnt before his passing, between the top 10 list, no player has had more disrespect then kobe, he was constantly bashed for this or that.

@chili015 3 года назад

@Leland Joseph - Kobe has made the most game-winning shots and has the highest 4th quarter scoring average in NBA history. He's also one of the best late-game free throw shooters in history. "Clutch" can be determined in many ways, you can't just look at field goal percentages to make your argument.

@chili015 3 года назад

@Leland Joseph - Title "favorites" are only determined by betting odds and in no way signify which team is actually better. For instance, the Chiefs are the Super Bowl favorites, but if the Bucs win the game, does that mean Patrick Mahomes isn't clutch? No, it doesn't mean that. Pretty weak argument, my man.

@DonLee1980 3 года назад

MANY NBA players have worked harder than MJ. MJ buggers to the golf course or the casino before and after games. Kobe's work ethic was much higher than MJ's. Tho it's hard to blame MJ, because he was so good, and won so much, it made sense he lost some drive, and had less to prove. Hence why he also retired 3 times.

@jasondye9565 3 года назад

Don Lee your opinion, mj worked!!! Just more competitive at everything more than anyone else. That’s why best ever

@AEPandaemonium 3 года назад

MJ was the face of 'Talent and Dominance', he taught the many players today that whatever you think of, you can achieve. Kobe was the face of Work-ethic and Determination, he taught the many players of today that if you work for it, you'll get it. Truly inspirational players.
