Max Kellerman and Bill Simmons on Kobe Bryant being overrated by his fans because he was very ‘skilled’ when you watch his old highlights: Max: Kobe also had every skill you could want. But being the most skillful, which is why I think people have Kobe 2nd to Jordan, which I believe is overrating him. He’s one of the greatest of all time but not as good as his fans think he was because they see MJ and think Kobe was the next generation of that Bill: Social media feeds some of that too because social media only feeds you the best things that a guy did. As the years pass it’s like, KOB! Another game winner! (Via Bill Simmons Podcast)

"There's no way to look at this NBA season and say Steph was better than LeBron... not by stats, team record, individual accolades, not by anything." nick wright cannot believe Bill Simmons has LeBron James off his Top 15 players in the NBA & Steph Curry at #7

My response to Nick Wright and his asinine narrative that Kobe was NEVER the best player in the league. 1. From 2001 - 2010 Kobe was absolutely the best player in league plenty of seasons. 2. Lebron isn’t in the conversation because he was yet a championship player (listen to video to get context on that). 3. nick wright You gotta be better bro

Nick Wright:"Kobe was never the best player in the world" Reality:Even Lebron said Kobe was the best player in the League Lebron:"I think hes the best player in our league right now, what hes able to do offensively and defensively, its unbelieveable and i look up to a guy like Kobe Bryant just because of what hes able to do every night he goes out on the basketball court" Nick Wright is a 🤡 Even his own boss said twice that Kobe was the best player in the League

Kobe faced a Top 10 player in his own conference 6 times in the playoffs in Tim Duncan. KOBE overall outplayed both Duncan and Shaq in almost every single matchup between them, then TOTALLY dominated Duncan without Shaq in 2008. After 1999, with all 3 players on the floor, KOBE WAS THE BEST. It was obvious and everyone knew. And Shaq was the worst. In the most pivotal matchup that usually decided the winner of the Finals Kobe was the best and was leading Shaq and the Lakers. 1999 Playoffs Spurs won 4-0 Duncan: 29PPG Shaq: 23.8PPG Kobe: 21.3PPG 2001 Playoffs Lakers won 4-0 Kobe : 33.3PPG Shaq: 27PPG Duncan: 23PPG 2002 Playoffs Lakers won 4-1 Duncan: 29PPG Kobe: 26.2PPG Shaq; 21.4PPG 2003 Playoffs Spurs won 4-2 Kobe: 32.3PPG Duncan: 28PPG Shaq: 25.3PPG 2004 Playoffs Lakers won 4-2 Kobe: 26.3PPG Shaq: 22.5PPG Duncan: 20.7PPG 2008 Playoffs Lakers won 4-1 Kobe:29.2PPG Duncan: 22.4PPG Kobe was the best when all 3 Top 10 players was on the court together.

I gotta do it to this young man again. nick wright everytime you speak on this I will destroy your argument. Kobe just went to 3 straight Finals and B2B chips with players not nearly as good as Peak Wade. And just to ensure Lebron would make it easy to finally win his first chip, they added a Franchise player in Chris Bosh as a 3rd option. AND HE STILL FOLDED. Kobe was winning back to back FMVPs with Pau Gasol as his second option. And Lebron was losing the Finals with peak Wade and Bosh as a 3rd option. There’s no way in Hell Lebron was better than Kobe between 2008-2011. Because 2011 he proved he wasn’t even better than Dwayne Wade. Go home Nick Wright. And don’t come back outside until you admit you’re wrong. Them Klutch checks making you sound crazy

Dwyane Wade says he called LeBron IMMEDIATELY after Kobe won his 5th ring: “I cut my tv off as soon as Kobe ran and grabbed that ball. LeBron? So what you want to do? That was our summer free agency. They were dominating. Kobe was winning all these rings I was like ‘hold on.’ Now he got 5 and I got 1?” (Via SKWEEK YT)

Nick Wright admits Dwyane Wade would’ve won finals MVP in 2011 if the Heat won: “In the finals he averaged 27, 7, 5, and was the best player on the Heat by far. LeBron was not with it that series. We all know the story there… They lose that series, but if the Heat managed to win that series, D Wade would’ve been finals MVP that series on a team with LeBron.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)

Total BS. Kobe is ranked 10 or 11th all time Bill Simmons Tell me once when any player ever uttered “Kobe is my GOAT”. Name one player who stated “Duncan is the toughest to guard in the league”. Never been said once. But for Kobe, it’s said. “Duncan is our Jordan”. Never said about Duncan, but said about Kobe. Why don’t these people ever mention Duncan getting clapped up by Kobe in 2008? We’ll get there but There’s a host of other stuff to get into though 1st. Kobe not Top 10? Really? How, with this resume. And I’m not even going to mention everything: People leave Kobe off the top 5 list and it’s a shame because you claim to know ball. Let’s dig into this. People get on Kobe for winning with Shaq when you know good and well Kareem and Magic hasn’t done what Kobe has done. Kobe proved that he was an all time Top 5 legend by winning back to back Chips without a Top 75 Teammate POST SHAQ!! They said he couldn’t win without him and he DID, yet they you and the media still punish him. Kobe was already on pace to be a Top 15-20ish player had he never won anymore championships without Shaq because his talent demands that. But he did over and above that POST SHAQ. Kobe proved the “you can’t win without Shaq narrative” was a sham. Not only did he prove it wrong, he totally obliterate that stronghold the media put on his career. Kobe faced the toughest of competition, TORCHED his rival Tim Duncan, had an all time run from 08-10 that saw him outdual and beat the same teams in the finals that Lebron, his Co-Megastar of the league at the time, would lose to. Kobe was ONE of the reasons Wade teamed up with your #2 All time guy Lebron, to get rings in a league where the Celtics and Kobe seemed to be unbeatable to Lebron and Wade. People act like Kobe didn’t cross every box and jump every hurdle y’all put in front of him. He has championships, Consensus 1-2 Most skilled all time, Stats, 4th points all time (despite slow start to career) and is the 1-2 greatest scorer of all time considering he did what he did in the slowest paced era where the league still esteemed defense and drafted and paid big money in free agency for “KOBE STOPPERS”. AND HE DID ALL THIS IN THE WESTERN CONFERENCE!! 25-10 vs. 50 WIN PLAYOFF teams (most all time) 122- 40 point games 25- 50 point games 6- 60 point games 12 time All Defensive team 9 time All Def 1st(most alltime for Gaurd) Revered by his rivals as Top 1-5 all time AND MJ STATED THAT Kobe is the only player he thinks can beat him!! And you know the only reason Kobe doesn’t have more MVPS is because of COLORADO so don’t even bring up that media driven narrative award. I’m done 🫡 Oh, before I go, here’s that spanking I was referring to in 2008⬇️
