Spacebump posted:Doesn't prime Durant do most things better than prime Kobe? I think Kobe could be more disruptive to the other team's plans on both sides of the ball, even if Durant is a more efficient player on offense and more versatile on defense. His aggressiveness could be a difference maker compared to Durant's more laid-back play style. e: i think Kobe could help generate more fast breaks on that team than Durant would, which could offset the efficiency difference

Kobe was a product of his time. His stats would look wildly different in todays era and I bet those impossible midrange shots would fill a huge gap. Curry and KD have a lot of overlap and as pointed out Curry is NBA short

You leave Jordan off. Kobe gets the nod over him because he's played with Shaq before, and they're basically the same player.

Lakers fans are delusional and think Kobe is an all-time great when in actuality shaq, duncan, and lebron, who were his contemporaries, were all way better.

i am a moron posted:True. But the defense Defense is important but winning in basketball is more about effective, efficient offense. Denver just proved that again. Besides, since Curry bulked up he has developed into a very good defender. Not young Kobe level, but still good. On offense, the deep spacing Curry provides makes it impossible to set a defense that has any chance to stop the other 4 players. And Steph's pick and roll efficiency is already elite with Draymond Green, who can't even shoot. Imagine it with Lebron setting the screen. Either its a Curry wide open three or Lebron gets a 4 on 3 to exploit. It would be the most unstoppable play ever.

I think the best comment I ever saw about it was telling people that Kobe wasn't even the top position player in franchise history, arguably not even top 5 Laker of all time.

Kobe was entertaining as gently caress to watch play basketball no matter where you want to rank him on an all-time scale. Just a wild ride of "You gotta see this." That's the Tuesday Night Late Game Post-AllStar Pre-postseason Push scale of player watchability.

We should just be thankful it wasn't someone like Allan Houston who got paired with Shaq and then Pau and chucked his way to fame.

His prime also occurred during a weird transitional time for pace and shooting and defense. He won 2 championships without Shaq which is more than Shaq managed without Kobe. There are a ton of people that overrate him who watched too much sports center during the aughts. His defense was extraordinarily good during his prime. Steph’s offense is a luxury in this scenario, put him on the bench and you have one of the longest, most athletic, impossible to loving score on defenses you could imagine.
