MJ: "You only got three, I got six." When asked in 2017, who ranks higher between LeBron and Kobe, MJ picked Kobe. His reasoning: "Would I rank LeBron over Kobe in terms of best of all time? No. There's something about five that beats three." The goal has always been to win championships. Trying to include Robert Horry in the conversation is just a red herring. People try and use Kobe's 00 Finals average as an indictment to his contribution to winning that ring but fail to bring up Kobe's defense in game one, holding Reggie Miller to 1-16 in a decisive 104-87 victory. Feel free to read that again. To show you Kobe's value, he was injured in game 2 after almost 9 minutes of play and what was a 17 point victory turned into a 6 point victory and a 9 point loss in game 3 without him. Indiana could've easily won game 4 after Shaq fouled out, and we all know what happened next. Kobe earned that ring despite how you interpret the box score. At the end of the day, Kobe still has five championships that the Lakers wouldn't have won without him. The proof in that statement lies in the fact that when Kobe had a lesser role in 97, 98, & 99, they were gentlemen swept, swept, and swept before even making the finals. The minute Kobe's role increased, they rattled off three straight championships. That's not a coincidence...

Kobe scored (21,065) and averaged (28.2) the most points in the hardest decade to score in NBA history. He did this while making 9 All-Defensive and 10 All-NBA selections and winning four rings. The 00's decade most definitely belonged to Kobe Bryant...

If you want to know why I have Kobe above MJ, this is the main reason. I agree with Iverson, it is a conspiracy. The league saw him, Vince Carter, Kobe, T-Mac, Grant Hill, and Penny Hardaway all get drafted and they all had the potential to score 30 ppg. I believe the league allowed zone defense to try and keep MJ's legacy as bright as possible. And it worked. The Jordan brand was started in 1997. Today it's worth 10 billion dollars...

In 2009, The Sporting News polled 107 Hall Of Famers, and they overwhelmingly picked Kobe Bryant as the best player in the league. Kobe had almost twice as many 1st place votes as LeBron James ♾

When I say that Kobe won back to back without a top 75 player, this is what I'm talking about. This wasn't Earvin playing with Kareem or vice versa. This wasn't MJ playing with Pippen or Bron playing with Wade, Bosh, Irving, or Anthony Davis. Pau was a good dude but those rings were Kobe's and that 10 ring should be held up as one of, if not the greatest of all time...

2010 NBA Finals: Mark Jackson, "If the Celtics were to win tonight's game, Kobe Bryant would be the MVP of the series." Jeff Van Gundy, "No Question. And any other vote would've been nuts." Don't let em gaslight you. Nobody thought anyone other than Kobe Bryant was the FMVP of that series back then. Nobody...
