He was also one of the greatest defenders at his position

You can’t name me 3 shooting guards who were better defenders than Kobe

Kobe had the mid range and the 3 ball and the finishing and all the athleticism. He also had the best footwork in nba history. He also had the best IQ in maybe basketball history

#

He literally studied his opponents and knew everything about them

#

He was as much as a threat on defensive as much as offense

#

Then his playoff runs are up there

#

Averaging 35 a game on negative 3s is crazy

Kobe can probably beat any nba player in history 1 on 1 maybe besides MJ

graceful dirge
#

Saying Kobe had maybe the best basketball iq is insane to me seeing as he hardly passed
Kobe had great defense but lebron Jordan Tim Duncan and Shaq had better one of the reasons he averaged so many points is because he wasn’t a pass first player bringing up one year where he had to carry doesn’t make him the goat (while still and incredible feat) saying he’s the only player that could guard prime Mike is just false on so many levels many great players study their opponents that’s not explosive to Kobe footwork was incredible but players like Hakeem Jordan Duncan have better he was not inconsistent but that was a weakness of his

My bad I meant pg

#

Magic realistically should have 4 chips

#

Plus he had James Worthy and Prime Kareem most of his career. All of this in a weak western conference

#

Like name any team who was messing with 3 hall of famers

graceful dirge
#

Every star had a good team

#

Like

#

Magic was still amazing

delicate carbon
#

Never said he wasn’t

#

But having multiple hall of famers and basically a superteam is crazy

#

Especially in a weak western conference

graceful dirge
#

The Celtics and bulls weren’t weak and they had to play them on the biggest stage

delicate carbon
#

The bulls didn’t have Pippen yet

#

I don’t even think they had Horace Grant

graceful dirge
#

When they were on the finals I think they did

graceful dirge
#

Ik they’re easy teams

#

East

delicate carbon
#

The Celtics and pistons were the only teams in the league capable of beating the lakers

#

They were both in the east

delicate carbon
#

Magic basically had a Jayson Tatum level run most of his career

#

No it wasn’t

#

Look it up

delicate carbon
#

Kareem retired im pretty sure

graceful dirge
#

Have you seen the last dance

#

He was in the league

delicate carbon
#

I’m not saying he wasn’t

#

I’m saying that year he lost to MJ was his final year

graceful dirge
#

That’s literally what you just said

fluid lark

#

I’m saying the bulls beat them in 1991 on Magics last year in the league

#

Magic literally had HIV

#

Kareem was gone

graceful dirge
#

So

#

He was still good

delicate carbon
#

It was Worthy and HIV Magic vs Prime Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen

graceful dirge
#

Idek what we’re arguing over 😭

delicate carbon
#

I ain’t gonna hold you

#

I lost track to

#

Still tho

#

7 finals appearances in 10 years and 5 chips is crazy

#

I don’t see how that’s not top 5
