stewroids said: It's sad how everyone forgets about Bruce Bowen, the most underrated defensive player in the game today
As for Kobe being overrated, that is not true at all...the man can take over the game ANY TIME HE WANTS! That's right...Kobe can rip apart another team whenever he choses to do so and it's funny how people say Lebron is better than him...last year whenever Lebron played against the top tier teams, such as the Celtics, he would score less than 15 points and would struggle a lot...Kobe was consistent in all 82 games...it is true that Lebron means more to his team than Kobe means to his...if Kobe wasn't on the Lakers, the Lakers would still be a sub .500 team, but without Lebron, the Cavs would be one of the worst teams in the league...Kobe's clutch factor is also something that no other player can come close to today...as for being better than Jordan, I don't know yet...Kobe still has a good 4-5 years under his belt and we shall see how he fares in those. |
Bruce retired, thats why I didn't mention him. If we are talking about top 10 defenders of all-time Kobe has no effin chance of making it.
LeBron averages 30.2ppg againts Boston for his career.
He averages 27.2 against the Lakers for his career.
He averages 27.7 againts Orlando.
LeBron is also consistent as you can see(against the best).
Kobe is one of the best, no arguing there, but that doesn't mean he can't be overrated.
The guy demanded a trade after having some bad seasons. Garnett had many bad seasons with us, and he never demanded a trade. Hence, you can conclude that Kobe knew he had no chances of winning in L.A. Without Gasol, Kobe would still be MVPless, and championship-less post Shaq era.
