I guess with how I worded it, Kareem just as a Laker wouldn't be better than Kobe but Kobe is not even 1/2 the player Kareem is.
I disagree Kobe is close to Kareem, in fact he could surpass Kareem in points all time as long as he plays the way he is now,he should surpass Kareem,but of course that's all up to Kobe to even play another 3-4 years even if he can still play at a high level.
- Kobe will need to play a few more years in order to pass Kareem in points. We'll have this convo again if and when that happens.
- Kareem has 5 more MVPs than Kobe
- Kareem has 1 more championship than Kobe
I'm looking at those things and I have no idea how anyone can ever say Kobe is close to Kareem, let alone Jordan.
In order to be consider "the best", you need to win the award that solidifies you as the single best player in the NBA and that's the MVP. Kobe has how many?
Kareem on the otherhand....well I'll let you wikipedia it yourself.
I disagree the MVP is all most always given to the best player on the best team, Steve Nash was never better then Kobe neither was he ever the best player in the league yet he has 2 MVP awards.Kobe should have won MVP in 2005-06 but they gave it to Steve Nash,that was one of if not the biggest MVP robberies in NBA history.
Was 2005-2006 the 81 game year? I believe he was robbed during that year but at the same time I understand why he didn't get it. However when he finally did win it, I thought the award should have gone to CP3.
Either way, you give him another MVP & that's still 2. Sorry, I bleed purple & gold, have watched the Lakers since Kareem and Kobe to me is the 3rd best Laker to ever put on that uniform. Kobe to me is the most skilled player to ever put on the uniform but he didn't win as much or lead like Kareem or Magic & the accolades backs me up.
