I believe Kobe was the second best player in NBA history. Mike was first and Kobe was the closest thing there was to mike, therefore, Kobe was the second best player in NBA history.

Because Stackhouse was the star, the story usually was told that Kobe outplayed him. He may have also played one vs one against Stack too and got the better of him.

Understand what was at stake here and why Kobe was the target for LeBron and D-Wade, NOT THE CELTICS: Kobe had just gone to 3 straight finals, lost one in 08 to Celtics. Smacked the Magic in 09, then got revenge and beat the Celtics in 2010. Kobe was the gold standard. They figured they could get by the Celtics, it was Kobe who was in the way. And if Kobe never gets injured in the first round of the playoffs in 2011 maybe they would have gotten what they bargained for (a match up with the King of the NBA, Kobe Bryant).

If Kobe was alive bro he wouldn’t have to even respond to this because you would never say this if he was alive Gil’s Arena For 23+ years SHAQ has been telling you that he believes that Kobe was the best player in the league, better than him. He told us all Kobe could have easily won FMVP if he wanted to but that wasn’t the plan. The plan was to let big man eat for 3quarters then let Kobe dominate in 4th and close that’s why Kobe led the entire playoffs in 4th quarter points during their 3-peat. You shouldn’t speak like this when Kobe Bryant isn’t here to defend himself.
