Nick Wright rips Kobe for his condescending remarks on LeBron James | NBA | FIRST THINGS FIRST 

First Things First: Cris Carter and Nick Wright kobe is an idiot he ran shaq outta town and they underachieved

He is right.

Underachieved? Kobe won just as much rings in 3 years as lebron got in his entire career pal.

What Kobe is telling Lebron is that you have nothing left to prove to the NBA, the only way that you will solidify your place in NBA history is to get as close to 6 NBA Championships as possible. If you want to get more rings then you will have to do what you have to do for you. It is time for Lebron to be selfish and be a one man wrecking crew, Lebron has the chance to be the greatest ever in the history of mankind to be the BEST there is, was, and ever will be

First Things First: Cris Carter and Nick Wright If MJ & LeBron have a kid= Kobe😂

Yup.

He made excuses for not winning... And demanded a trade

The Lakers traded Caron Butler for Kwame Brown, and Lamar Odom was a very inconsistent #2 player and scorer. Kobe felt like the Lakers were content with him scoring a bunch of points, while the team barely made the playoffs in a tough Western Conference. Nobody could ever question Kobe's toughness, dedication, intensity towards winning.

Matches Malone yes they can... He literally drove Shaq out of town wen they could have won at least 2 or 3more championships together... Then he signed a huge contract wen he was out of his prime wen the lakers could have used some of that money to sign better free agents... Even in the series wen they were up 3 1 against the the suns, in game 7 Kobe literally stop shooting the ball in the second half to try and prove a point... Kobe has definitely showed some selfish ways in his career... Stop it with this false narrative.... He was only ok with winning when it was viewed as him being the reason his team won

513OVA EVERYTHING Shaq told the GM he wanted 30million a season and the GM said he’s riding with the 25 year old not the 32 year old! & Kobe won 2 more rings lol people jus say anything I swear

He's not a Kobe Hater... he's just Bronsexual

@@EchoDeltaSierra8 he's definitely a Kobe hater. Prolly cause Kobe gave his wife a pounding lol

@@kevinbunn7915 LoL 😁 😂

He’s not a Kobe hater, he’s just speaking facts. People are so emotionally attached to Kobe that they fail to see everything else in between.

zax the hooper and how is he better than Lebron?

Good one. You're smart

Hilarious 😂😭🤣 Lol ! I love it . They can't handle the truth and that's what Kobe brings ! Kobe Bryant was a beast!

@King James .. Lol 😂🤣 , Your name speaks for your level fandom huh ? Kobe doesn't need for me or anyone else to defend him or his career because his accomplishments speak for themselves real talk ! Cute though 😅 !

he's a stan

OG JLyric ... My heart is forever 💔 broken over the loss of the Great Kobe Bryant aka "The Black Mamba " ! I can't fight back the tears 😭😢 , Wow what a tragic loss ! No matter how you felt about him , you must admit his style of play and love of the game actually change the game in good way ! R. I . P . Kobe and your beautiful baby girl !

LORD KEITH the smart people who actually think about what they say aren’t tearing down Jordan’s legacy. They are comparing it to LeBron’s without bias. It’s Jordan fanboys who refuse to look at things objectively.

Jarett Bousquet Then how did the narrative of "plumbers" came about? You don't think that's a bias?

LORD KEITH wet about you. LeBron fans say he is king but mj. Fans like you class I'm as Jesus Christ. How you pray to at nites

6-0 finals and 3-6 finals thats objective right?

He did, but the thing with Kobe was that he was one of those dudes where when it was just him, he put up great numbers and was great individually. However, when you give Kobe an all star big man and a top notch supporting cast of role players and coaching, now he'll get you to the Finals and get you a title. With a guy like LeBron, he's good enough by himself as the lone all star for a team to at least by one of the top 4 seeds and a borderline title contender. But when you give him that second star and a top notch supporting cast, it's virtually a lock for whichever team he's on that they'll be in the Finals at least. Jordan was like that to an extent as well. He was good enough to get the bulls to the playoffs, but then Phil came along as his coach and Pippen blossomed into an all star as well as having that strong supporting cast and being able to get the most out of them

Tyrell Miles lol what? Lebron plays with 2 all stars all in their primes for all 3 of his rings! He’s not winning anything without an superstar on his side! Kobe & Mike won 2 rings without an single teammate averaging more than 20 ppg lol Lebron could never

Tarrell Breazell lebron made it to the finals without another all star..lebron was in a finals series and won 2 games with Mathews Delli as his 2nd best player..so yea lebron is more well rounded and can propel a team on a playoff run

andre campbell playing in an garbage conference? The best player he played in the east that season was Demar Derozan 🤔 you can’t be serious lol that’s nothing to brag about at all that just shows how weak the east has been for years! Lebron has played in 9 finals he’s only beaten 13 teams in the playoffs that won more than 50 games! He also faced 7 teams with losing records in the playoffs! Kobe beat 25 teams with 50 or more wins in the playoffs (most all time) & Kobe never faced an team with an losing record in the playoffs lol stop it

@@tyrellmiles1467 Kobe better then lebron but Bron a better stat padder and more size to impact without a big on his team

He means as a young adult

Yeah that was kinda funny 😂😂😂😂😂

BSOLZ now days they gotta try to destroy another to get credibility

BSOLZ honestly none of us got the answers

BSOLZ make a video on this

Kobe tryna build himself up and tear LeBron down, look at his twitter nonsense and read howard becks article on bleacher report

Still scoffed at Lebron's acheievements

Hahaha praise

Kawhi went to the east for 1 year and in the media became the best player in the league right away. #TheEastEffect

@@doesntmatter6453 if kawhi was able to go to the finals 1 year going to the east that should explain why lebron was able to constantly go every year. The only reason he won was because KD was injured, if he was 100% he would've had the same outcome that lebron went through

Doesnt Matter and the east this year was tougher then anytime in Brons career

@@reginaldthomas1917 using that "if a person wasn't injured" logic. You could argue that the warriors wouldn't have won there first championship, considering the Cavs didn't have Kyrie and love. Injuries happen, and the better team won. You could apply that towards any sport or team. What If Oladipo wasn't injured this year, Kyrie and Hayward last year, etc etc

But Kobe lying is the problem. His best does not compare to LeBron's middle of the pack

Their style of play is different, and so are their personas. I think Kobe was the more entertaining player, and came off a lot more fearless and tough. That resonates more with people, than LeBron's very impressive stats, and dominance in a weak Eastern Conference.

Spencer Gray lol what🤔🤔🤔 Kobe has more scoring titles more all defensive teams and more rings! More 40 point games more 50 point games more 60+ games! Kobe is head and shoulders better than Lebron & it’s not even close

All they did was tell fact on top of facts

Totally agree but Kobe shouldn't waste time speaking on Lebron. I'd like to see what great thing Kobe is gonna do next like when he won that Oscar.

@@SportGamingComputing sadly rip

CJ Chewjore what makes it's bad is everything he said about Shaq and Kobe is literally BS. Did he not watch their interview

Nick stated facts and called out hypocrisy. He's not hating, Nick is exercising honest journalism, a skill often forgotten these days.

You1337Noob what is facts to you???

You1337Noob he's biased actually

I can't stand Nick and I agree with him here. And I'm a Laker fan that loves Kobe. I'm sorry, but doing less as Kobe put it is wrong. How many times did LeBron shoot in game 4? It was very reminiscent of Kobe's performance against the Suns in 2007. Both performances did not work. I don't blame Kobe or LeBron for losing in those two series. The other teams were just better. Flat out. BTW, if Nick devalued Kobe's performances in the finals, then I obviously disagree with him there. Kobe was not carried and he was pretty much 1B to Shaq. Both were great. I agree with everything else though.

Truth hurts eh?

He mad that numerous people (especially former nba players) pick kobe over LeBum

Tre Campbell now that he died he trying to show fake love

Chessbox09 You are ABSOLUTELY right! I've grown to appreciate Skip because the statement that you just made. Those Bronsexuals would make it difficult to watch.

True just ask Jordan.

outta all the teams in the west top 8 none have worst teams as a whole than Cleveland....no team has had more of a struggle in the playoffs than Cleveland....but yet here you are another puppet

Lebron could not make his teamates better. That would make him a bad leader and a stat pader. Good day.

And Lebron doesn’t need your credit

please explain how Kobe is better then Lebron

When was Kobe equal to Jordan?

After all. The win goes to the "TEAM" that scored the most points... Not the team with the "PLAYER" With the best STATS

Kobe never won without a dominant big? Shaq who was the best in the world at the time and Pau who was seen at the time as a top 3 PF/C. Your own argument is flawed. Also Kobe has a lower win/loss ratio then LeBron, and LeBron has played less seasons

@@cwilson9341 it wasnt no second half of his career either he was in year 14 to 20 when he slowed down on defense that wasnt in year 8 or 10. and he was a better defender than lebron obviously he could lock somebody down lebron had to block you from behind cause he cant keep nobody in front of him this isnt even a debate no one shooting 65% from free throw is better than kobe thats it facts

@@gradyjackson8517 Was Kobe the best player on that 3 peat team? Did he win any of the Finals MVPs? How bout league MVPs. Lakers didnt become his team till Shaq left or after he chased Shaq out. He ruined an opportunity to win more titles than Jordan. Shaq is still considered the most dominant force the NBA has ever seen. Those 2 could've sat in a place in modern day basketball that no one would ever be able to touch. But Kobe got what he wanted. The face of the Lakers. He's not even considered the greatest Laker. Magic is and nobody dares argue that.

Guy, you are making too many foolish excuses for overrated Kobe. Stop acting like Lebron has never been one of the great defensive players in the NBA. I would agree that he is not as good on defense as he used to be but name me someone who was/is a great defensive player while in the league for 17 years and doing as much as Lebron does.

How old are you?

Michael Yim 50 win teams eliminated in postseason career. Kobe: 25 Lebron: 11

Kobe is a huge hypocrite no all time great publicly criticised his teammates more than Kobe and then relied on them to save him in big games and I'm the furthest thing from a Lebron fan and I can acknowledge this Game 6 in Boston in 08 Kobe couldn't find a way to win he got blown out and played terrible basketball And in 2010 he was entirely reliant on Pau and needed Ron Artest to hit the jump shot to save him. Not only this but if all he cared about was winning he wouldn't have forced LA to trade Shaq when he had another 3-4 years of his prime left to continue winning rings

franjes 99 don't forget all the clutch shots Horry and Fisher hit for him

David C dont forget if kyrie and Ray Allen dont make that shot lebron is 1-8 in the finals 😂😂😂😂

Yea I just heard that

And Chris mihm

Smush Parker haven’t played in the NBA since 07..

He took smush and kwame in the starting line up to the playoffs wtf

does anyone who knows basketball really think LeBron could miss the playoffs? I honestly don't think there's a collection of players in the NBA bad enough that he would actually miss the Playoffs. But Kobe? Yeah, Kobe missed the Playoffs in the PRIME of his career lol.

Tanqrae what's kobe and LeBron' s head to head matchup record? 🤔

So Cold not kobes fault LeBron didn't make it to play him in 09. Magic best the Cavs then or have you just now started watching the NBA?

Kobe owned Duncan.. Duncan only has longevity over Kobe and also a more stable team... if Kobe didn't get hurt and had a constant roster he would have even more chips.. if Kobe had the help lebron has he would of beaten dallas the spurs twice and warriors in 2015

Remember that I'm 2008 the Spurs were defending champs. The Spurs swept Cleveland in the finals just a year prior and Kobe ran through that same team in 5 games during the WCF. It's amazing how these "analysts" and commentators always skip over this. From 2008-2010, Kobe beat all the teams that LeBron couldn't beat from 2007-2010 in the playoffs with Gasol as his best teammate. LeBron needed Wade, Bosh, Kyrie, Love, and now AD with a host of veteran (and young) talent to win. LeBron also has had the easiest path to the finals for 7 of the last 10 years. This year he was rejuvenated because we added AD and other role players.

So I guess Larry Bird>MJ because he’s undefeated against Mike in the playoffs. See how stupid that logic is

Because Kobe played for the Lakers so he got the best teammates by default.

Preach

Exactly.... they knew what Kobe would've done with cp3....he would've beat jordan in chips

@@imabeast318 get real. MJ was 3x the player Kobe was.

"Stats" have everything to do with anything! No stats in basketball, would be like no weight classes in combat sports.

facts.

LeBron has won multiple MVP's and been to 9 NBA Finals. You know the only other people to have done that? Kareem Abdul-Jabar, Bill Russell and Magic Johnson. That's it, nobody else.

Evan Wrenn he’s in the east

That's so overblown, it's not like the east is an all time weak conference -- if it was LeBron would be winning way more regular season games. When Russell and Kareem played there were less than 20 teams in the league.

Evan Wrenn the east has been extremely weak for the past 6 to 7 years combined with the fact LeBron has often had the most stacked teams in the league that's why he gets to a lot of finals but the reason LeBron doesn't win a huge amount of games is because he doesn't play at a high enough level he takes away from teammates instead of helping them

Michelle Diaferio what did anything i said have to do with being a competitor. Just delete your account . You don’t have the iq to deserve to comment about anything on the internet . People like you are an embarrassment

End of story

Kobrick fans are the worst

There are nine players with more rings than Jordan. You need a new argument.

so, Bill Russell GOAT?? fkin stupid argument

Much better debate would be Finals MVPs/times you were the best player on the team. Last I checked three beats two

Chris' last season of relevance as an aging NFL WR was when kobe was just drafted, growing up loving kobe means he either is a liar or time traveler

Trey Evans This makes zero sense. The past 10 years, every single champion that won has ball movement and less iso plays except for the 2016 Cavs.

in the past 10 years only ball movement team that won was gsw, dallas and the spurs.

David Lee Miami had ball movement with Spoelstra. They had the luxury to run iso but they had lots of ball movement.

Tiny Island You're missing my point. His stats are remarkable, but think about how much more effective Lebron would be if he played more off the ball, which he has indicated he wants to do? Imagine him playing more in the post with a Magic type point. His assists would go down, but he would win more. Nick Wright throws those stats up there and says, "See. Lebron was better than Kobe. Look at the stats." But just because you can do more doesn't mean it's best for the team. Lebron needs to play alongside players who have specific roles. Turning everyone into a spot up shooter, while he controls the ball is not helping him win.

Tiny Island So 5 of the last 10 years? Lmao what’s your point. Also Miami moved the ball a lot 🤷🏾‍♂️

Zilla Jcbl ok thats what i thought

Hey Stupid, he took kobe best individual postseason stats throughout his years and compared it to lebron postseason run this year. Kobe didn’t average more than 32.8 in a postseason so they right. Face it lebron better player

Hey stupid, the game has changed now, in todays NBA kobe would have field day and average 40 coz of all the 3 point threats, he would be faced with less double or triple teams

How after he ran Shaq out of town....05 no playoffs, 06 first rd, 07 first round, 08 Gasol trade.....

check who plays in the west at that time and come back to me

Shaq is 7 years older than kobe

Josh Miles I’m not a lebron fan by “any” means but you can’t dispute the facts that nick is stating and I hate that guy

Josh Miles i think thats lebron side chick, or should i say SIDE NICK

Did you even watch the video, he clearly says he doesn’t like to bring guys down when comparing but that Kobe opened the door sooooo

Cody Menard Kobe is just saying that LeBron shouldn't make excuses and should find a way to win. Then Nick has to disagree with it and completely just trash on Kobe's whole career.

kobe has been the best player in a championship team only 2 times while lebron has always been the best..and in kobes first 3peat, he was easily replacable by other SGs like AI, TMAC, etc..dont get me wrong, he was crucial, but was clearly behind shaq..dont even get me started with how much focus Shaq was pulling..much like how Curry is doing now, but on opposite sides

Vanzama Tlau etc like who? I know you don’t mean wade because shaq got wade once. You named a potential all time great that was ruined by injuries and another one who was blackballed out of the league. Yet Kobe was still better than both of them. Shaq was not clearly better than Kobe by any means.

@@sarcasm3605 im talking about their first 3peat..at that time, shaq was much better..and there were better SGs than kobe in 2000-03

Vanzama Tlau it’s not that big of a difference still, nobody is replacing Kobe in the 2000 finals

Love and Bosh as well

carlos angel lmaooooo

and you playing 2k 😂😂😂

vashthestampede11 he gets his knees dirty everyday on this show

You need some Listerine mouth wash now that you finish. You really love Kobe.

Forever and ever

The only stat that matters is rings. Any athlete can have great stats. Ask Russell Westbrook. He has better Stats that Bron. Kobe won more and dominated a league with a prime LeBron James in it. That is the bottom line.

Sahaj Paudel 😂 😂. How old are you, 5? You don’t know how to argue without getting all in your feelings and calling people names? Does LeBron have that effect on you? How cute. Defending your little boyfriend brings out the worst in you bro. Not only can’t you spell, you reveal you have the maturity of a 4 year old girl. Actually, that’s almost an insult to 4 year old girls.

@Sahaj Paudel6 finals losses for your boyfriend

@@obi1muzik429 if the only stat that matters are rings. Then why is Bill Russel not the GOAT? OR Robert Horry?

Bron is better to me period

The only thing Kobe does better than lebron is shoot

@@brianwright1644 and win rings

@@matthewj.c.2675 Dude u talking about rings Robert horry got 7 steve Kerr got five I guess they just as good as Kobe right

Brian Wright as role players yes they got theirs! Kobe is the better scorer and defender which makes him the better player

Michael Yim True enough the warriors are great. But the East is pathetic Houston would have swept the Cavs the same way.

He beat them when they were old Kendrick Perkins was injured and he needed refs and teammates to save him cause he shot like 25% in game 7

shut up iggy hurt and bogart hurt and draymond bogus suspension. warriors were robbed by that suspension

Michael Yim Kobe was in year 14... and came into the league the same year as Ray Allen and before Paul Pierce

+Justin Ramos bandwagon talk

6-17 head to head tho...

Prime shaq

Amount of times kobe got carried in finals is 3

C Sack dude mj made it to the playoffs with 34 win that conference must have been great though

C Sack also when Lebron leaves a team they fall apart and they can’t make the playoffs

@@______9484 Kyrie and Kevin Love...

@@______9484 Yea cause Kyrie was hurt then came back a monster into the playoffs.Love was a all star but he had to play a third option. Also, just because you didn't make the all star team doesn't necessarily mean you not a all star. When playoffs came, Kyrie was a monster and was back to his self. Love had an injury as well but some of those games he should not have played. Try Again. Context matters my boy.

@@______9484 Yea man sure did. Look at D wade and Dirk, they wasn't all stars and yet they were in the all star team. No one gives Love credit for sacrificing his role and playing with Lebron. A lot of ppl wanted Love to be in the all star game but media says otherwise. Love was good in the playoffs until the finals where apparently he had a concussion. Kyrie was dominating the playoffs believe it or not. Kyrie played like a all star then. The arguement I gave you was facts. RAGING DEMON!!

Since when have the other "top 5" players faced a team like GSW.... and won? Unfair criticism on Lebron.

@@kazimnaqvi6388 so I guess the spurs were trash with tony parker manu ginoble bruce bowen stephen jackson mario ellie david robinson steve smith robert horry they were just trash or portland with scottie pippen rasheed wallece damon stoudamire steve smith or the kings with c webb peja bonzi well valde divac mike bibby jason williams dough christie hedo turgohlou they wre trash I guess and a team with a guy who cant play defense goes cold from 3 has an inconsistent shooter in klay thompson a bad shooter in draymon green a not so good defender in kevin durant ids just the best team of all time and lebron lost 3 other finals before losing to golden state 3 times as well I believe he lost to the spurs while on the heat and dallas while he was in miami Im not going to mention the sweep in 07 though my man couldnt even get 1 dub

Pat Mcgroin never.

Pat Mcgroin no...he gave up in the rounds before..

He was also never the best player in the NBA.

You forget kobe got smoked in the playoffs before he got shaq and he got smoked after shaq left before he got Gasol, Artest and Odom.

lebrons chances this year was low...kobe doesnt ever mention he was shaqs sidekick..kobe really only led 2 teams to titles as the best player..lebrons done it 3 times..lebron has 3 more mvps ..like we can't say kobes better cause of rings..its all he has..lol...lebrons total career picture will destroy kobes when hes done and the kobetards who now savilate over the current LeBron situation will never watch when he does surpass kobe in rings..what a shame

Asmosis Jones he has to surpass Kobe in rings first

Asmosis - You can't diss on Kobe saying he only led 2 teams to titles while not counting the three with Shaq while counting BOTH Championships Lebron won with Wade and Bosh. Lebron is amazing. But there were many times the Kobe didn't have near the team as Lebron has. Lebron for sure has and will have better stats. But the "killer instinct" and HEART of Lebron isn't NEAR what Kobe had. Which is why Kobe SHOULD get compared to Jordan just as much if not more than Lebron. Kobe still went to 7 NBA Finals. People for whatever reason keep saying 5 is better than 3 while forgetting that while Kobe went to 2 LESS Finals, he still WON 2 MORE than Lebron.

Figure out? This ain't a math test, I would've loved to see him figure out how to beat the most stacked team in league history with the same Cavs team.

Chris Williams nick Wright is what you get when the Dweeby skinny kid that got picked on and beat up everyday grows up. That's why he keeps mancrushing on LeBron who is not great and wants to be great....he relates

Alan Lee spot on!

Edward Johnson His teams have never been as talented as Kobe or Jordan's teams. Most cant remember the cavs starting lineup in 2007.

@@JamesBrown-bz2xv please explain

@C Mc No need to explain Kobe's i'll just name some. I'll do Jordan's if you wish and that may require me to elaborate. Here are some of Kobe's teammates throughout the years. Shaq Elden campbell Byron scott Eddie jones Van exel Ceballos Derek harper Rodman Horry Glen RIce Rueben Patterson Salley Ron Harper Richmond Lou Williams J.R Rider Brian Shaw Horace Grant Lindsey Hunter Karl Malone Byron Russell Gary Payton Kareem rush Fox Odom Artest Fisher Ariza Caron butler Dwight Howard Steve Nash Brian Grant Jim Jackson Aaron McKie Pau Bynum Antwan Jamison Matt Barnes Shannon Brown All of these guys had great, good,or decent nba careers

Robert Vaughn Jr because he always had a good sometimes excellent pg. If kobe had to do what LeBron had to he wouldn't have nothing close to what he has now

Valentino Strachan To assume a player of Kobe’s caliber wouldn’t be able to do more if he was asked to is asinine. People can speculate all they want, but Kobe did what he was asked and was successful doing it. Who knows what Kobe could have done being given the reigns to a team the moment he entered a team. His work ethic spoke for itself. People only slander Kobe, to try and further elevate Bron when it’s not necessary. Both Bron and Kobe are one of the greatest to ever lace them up. Point blank period.

Valentino Strachan if if if if if if if. 3-6 is not an if. It is a fact.

Kobe was a ball hog wdym and Westbrick chases stats to the point that he ruins the players around him making melo and pg catch and shoot players

LeGoat 23 Ehm this is exactly what LeBron does?

jamm356 Thank You. It’s crazy cause if the game of basketball boiled down to just getting 40 points 11 rebounds & 10 assist to win championships? They think Kobe wouldn’t do it or atleast try to if it meant he’d win Championships. In all the basketball I’ve played Never was I told to go get these stats to win. They only push this because it helps LeBron get into the argument. I’m convinced those that do this do not play basketball and need to shut up, sit down.

Wow You're really questioning LeBrons style of play ? Remove Lebron from all his finals losses and add Kobe ! He (Kobe) loses the same amount of Finals , add Kobe to 13 Heat and 16 Cavs and he doesn't win a ring either ! Kobe just played with better teams and competed against teams that are no where near the level of talent that is Golden State or the Spurs 🙄

Tell that to Russell RINGLESS WestBRICK

@@ghostjay749 except Kobe did face the Spurs on multiple occasions. And if Kobe was on that heat team against Dallas they win the series. Don't bring up Dallas beating the Lakers because its different. Kobe didn't choke against the Mavs they just lost. The Heat lost because Lebron choked.

Uhmmm he has won 3 rings, I think it has worked 🤣🤣

it wasn't 3 straight years against the Spurs "big 3", Ginobili's rookie year was '02 - '03 season (won ring as a rookie) anyhow Kobe's teams beat "big 3" Spurs 2 out of 4 playoff series. and Nick is crazy if he thinks HE can say what KOBE cares about.

Shaq beat those teams

@@juangil9628 ok so 08, 09, 10 where was the Spurs. Because kobe didn't have a big 3 after Shaq, Kobe added Metta in 10. You sound like a bron fan. Kobe was something you will never see again.

@@juangil9628 and if want to get technical 2000 to 03 they beat the best of West.

@@trephonproductions5356 so Kobe went to work in 4 quarters against Portland and Sacramento and the Spurs. Without Kobe Shaq don't win.

Dont watch the video if you suffered so much, easy as that

Sebastian Carrasco Let me guess, you're in agreement with that stuff?

Travis Blair stuff? Its called debate, and yes i agree with what stats back up, people blindly discredit nick cause he is biased, but all of his arguments are backed up with undeniable facts, unlike someone skip, who you surely love, only uses subjective weak arguments that actually should be discredited

Sebastian Carrasco His arguments are predicated on lies by omission of facts, and he has a job because he talks fast and has a high pitched tone when he talks about lebron james.

Jeff Aholics Please tell me which of his arguments are predicated on lies? Omission of facts, wtf is that, sure he doesnt always tell the whole story, but he would need all day to do so. If you were objective about his journalistic performance you would appreciate how he debates, instead of just blindy hating on him and trying to discredit him, because he argues against what you want to believe

Stevan Chase lmao Kobe been getting compared to mj since 01. Nick need stay out of Lebron's pants

Stevan Chase it’s like you guys don’t even pay attention to what you are saying. Who is the most polarizing, most hated on player of our generation? LeBron. So if being hated on is a major measure of greatness then he’s automatically the GOAT. Why don’t we stick to comparing accolades? Kobe has more championships, if you are gonna use any argument, use that.

Jarett Bousquet LeBron not hated he just not the goat

In your mind he's being compared to MJ💀

Stevan Chase facts

almost anyone who knows compare kobe and duncan...duncan doesnt have the highlight reel or flair of kobe..that doesnt mean kobe is better..kobe is better in shooting and dribbling, duncan is better passer and more consistent, doesnt need to shoot 40 times a game..duncan came into the league, became the best player in the team and won a ring almost immediateyl..if u dont know how great duncan is, well thats just sad

Kobe is always compared to mike coz he's trying to be mike

Na never you tripping they play two diffrent positions, also your assuming beacuse no one ever said kobe was better ...I mean in my opinion Kobe is better but that's my opinion 🤷🏾‍♂️. Also Duncan didnt impact the game the way Kobe you can being up Kobe shooting 40 times but if that's what it takes why not do it I got him 5 chips I'm not complaining nor is the lakers organization....js lebron being compared to Jordan is dumb asf specialty when they're stats are even registered the same not only that the amount of rings each player got changes that too.....Duncan and Kobe man nick is the most biased labron fan there is I cant take his word at face value

@zax the hooper Tims playmaking from the post is superb bro..kobes a more skilled and has more arsenals, but in terms of whos a better player in a team, thats really debatable, just a matter of 'who u need more-a guard or big'...remember what he did coming into the league, became the best player in a champion team early on..not a lot of guys can say that

@zax the hooper but they both have 5 in the end tho..no I'm no Kobe hater..in fact i think he's the most skilled baller of all time..but Shaq was clearly better than Kobe in their 3peat..and Kobe was expendable, replace him with 2001 Tmac or AI, they still would've won

M_Fari no, only 4 LeBron

Lol I don’t think so

He's lebron's wife.

lmao nice!

M_Fari what wife?

Why? You don't like to here the truth.

Billygnr2003 cuz he's talking Facts?

lmao, facts... no wonder dom2k killed nick wrong's arguments.

Adrian Contreras opinions

Adrian Contreras facts are Kobe has more rings than LeBron.

Billygnr2003 never talk sports with people that don't play sports

3 way marriage with Shannon Sharpe

I wish my girl stood up for me like nick does for lebron
