They dumb as hell.
Kobe 06-10: 30ppg/6rpg/5apg/2spg 46%
Bron 06-10: 29ppg/7rpg/7apg/2spg 49%
For a guy that was only a chucker that's a pretty well rounded 5 years. And you add the accolades and chips, not really a contest.

i think its debatable till after 2010 and im not even a kobe fan. after 2010 till now he was the clear cut number one.

I could easily make an argument that Kobe was never the best player in the league during his career but that's for another time.
Rings have nothing to do with it either, the whole incorporating ring culture into a conversation about talent is nonsense.
Rings culture needs to be toned back drastically btw. Rings culture is why the exact ring that everyone is complaining about in this thread happened last summer.

I know i said before it'll be sweep but i need Cavs to win 1 game at least. I don't want NBA to stop early 
Also, how refreshing not seeing Harrison Barnes bricks open 3s in the finals. That was a nightmare to watch last year :x

stop with the rings have nothing to do with it. rings dont mean everything but rings clearly mean something because i sure as hell have never heard anyone argue malone is one of the goats ( top 10) when he is the 2nd best scorer of all time , as far as the scoring list goes.
. rings clearly matter . they arent everything but they do matter.

Rings don't matter but they know damn well if Bron didn't have one he wouldn't be elevated to near the place where he is now.

I don't know man. They took 1 game from the Cavs but the other games weren't really close. Now if they trade for George or Butler and add another star player they might have a shot. But George or Butler alone I don't think is enough for them to beat the Cavs in a 7 game series. This is the same Boston team that was struggling with the 8th seed Bulls until Rondo was injured lol

Nah b I think the people need to hear the argument. I don't even think it would be a hard one to make lol.
During those last 3 finals run, I don't even know if Kobe was the best 2 in the league.

So Bron's brain doesn't work anymore? Cause clearly he doesn't care about the regular season anymore by his own admission. They just playing for fun or what? KD went to GS just to have fun? Why even have a championship round? It definitely matters when comparing the greats.

They would need another star to go along wirh George or Butler to beat the Cavs in a 7 game series. Besides their 1 win vs Cleveland they really didn't put up much of a fight in the other 4 games that they lost. This is the same Celtics team that was in trouble with the 8th seeded Bulls until Rondo got injured lol

I agree. This is part of the reason why Duncan is considered the best PF ever. Just think if Malone would of beat Jordan in 97 and 98 and won a ring with the Lakers in 04. He would by many be considered the best PF of all time.

It's not black and white.
Rings matter, but they don't tell a complete story.
Stats matter, but don't tell a complete story.
The words of teammates matter, but don't tell a complete story.
The words of opponents matter, but don't tell a complete story.
SOOOO many other things matter, but not one of these things isolated by itself tells a complete story.
Anyone who separates one thing and says "So here's what this one thing all by itself means" has a narrative and should not be taken seriously.

The Kardashian box has to have some sort of time release poison. Look at how TT is in shambles now

I'm going down with the ship. It's still Cavs in 7.
At least get 2 games so these HAN's don't break my Lakers record.
