Lebron better than Bird? (i.e. rate Lebron's current legacy, v4)

[Breakitdown]

So Kobe played with a HoFer who is a top 5 player of All-Time....

And Bern played with 2 HoFers, one which may not even be Top 25, and one that is likely not even in the top 50.



Exposed.

That was with Snaq. Everyone knows how good Snaq was. Pau isn't top 200.

BD is apparently enthralled by exhibition games. Most experts care about games that matter tho.

Who arguing mj worse than kobe? Kobe is the best scorer to touch that ball to date. Jordan is the best player ever.

Starting 5 would be
Mj
Bird
Magic
Shaq or wilt
Pf is a toss up between Malone Duncan Barkley and if you want to keep the paint open for Shaq maybe you take dirk for the shooting and to pull the pf out of the paint.

I love how easily this is turned into a Kobe thread. Definitely the ONE TRUE GOAT. The haters keep him on the map even with these life threatening injuries.

First mention of Kooby itt was by you in post #3








EXPOSED

 

[Revolver]

Lol. Besmirched.

 

[Lord Commander Palis]

Reading comprehension?

Is it weird that there is always some white belt with a low post count nobody has heard of who starts a thread that pertains to Kobe or LolBron specifically? hmmmmmmmm

I didn't turn it into a Kobe thread, I merely pointed out a observation to posting and thread starting habits. Even a low IQ Floridian like you can understand that distinction because I also mentioned LolBron.

 

[Lord Commander Palis]

Lol. Besmirched.

Guess who turned this into a Kobe thread?:

Spoiler

Just saw this:




Take your pick:

25yo Kooby playing with Shaq in '04 -- 22.6 ppg on .381 fg% and .174 3p%

21yo Kooby playing with Shaq in '00 -- 15.6 ppg on .367 fg% and .200 3p%

prime 29yo Kooby playing with Pua in '08 -- 25.7 ppg on .405 fg%

prime 31yo Kooby playing with Pua in '10 -- 28.6 ppg on .405 fg%


Honestly this is the first I've realized that Kooby has actually shot below .406% in 4 of his 6 Finals appearances. Granted, Bern did have a single inefficient series as a 22yo playing 1 on 5 vs one of the greatest team defenses in NBA history, but Kooby's sustained career inefficiency takes the cake for me in regards to worst Finals efficiency for a star player.

Besmirched is right. Just goes to show that fussers is constantly worn down by Kobe, I loves it! Kobetard

 

[faustian]

lol Pelvis with some early morning Rustlemania. You brought up Kooby itt. Open and shut case.

Bout to go throw some big boy weights around, what a can a puny former roid abuser like you do to rustle me? Your self besmirchment bringing up Kobe is tremendous amusement, I don't even need coffee you've made me laugh so much! Especially this line:

HAHA we both know that's bullshit, you have either a Rolodex on your $25 Ikea desk or you have notepad docs full of stats on Kobe, particular ones that are cherry picked to put him in a negative light. You've seen all of his stats, you can probably recite most of them by heart by now. You sir, are the very definition of Kobetard!

 

[faustian]

lol not bad Pelvis not bad

 

[JimmyMarrow]

Bill Laimbeer would've retired James by now.

Absolute truth.

 

[JimmyMarrow]

Bird in his prime 1 on 1 would absolutely crush lebron.

 

[jcandoitbig]

haha, the amount of butthurtness and illogical arguments against James on this forum is laughable. if you truly know basketball, you recognize James greatness and know he's already a top 10 player ever, if not top 5.

Off the top of my head, mine is:

1st Team

Magic
Jordan
Bird
Duncan
Shaq

2nd Team

Stockton
Kobe
Oscar
Malone
Wilt

3rd Team

Kidd
Bron
Wade
Sir Charles
Kareem


Honorable mention: Russell, McHale, Pippen, Dr. J, the Dream

 

[Sivo The Ram]

i actually find it kinda hard to believe that someone could watch jordan play and then watch kobe play and think that kobe was better. kobe is one of the best...but jordan is the best.

 

[faustian]

2nd Team

Stockton
Kobe
Oscar
Malone
Wilt

3rd Team

Kidd
Bron
Wade
Sir Charles
Kareem

Your 3rd team would sweep your 2nd team in a 7 game series

 

[TotallyHacking]

Stockton on the second team is a joke.
