@king_saturn: lol yes I was debating Lebron vs Kobe,yes I do think if they both retired right now Kobe will go down as the better player.&ut I also believe that Lebron willend his career better then the Mamba and possibly could challenge MJ for the G.O.A.T.So am I a Kobe fan?Yes is clear as day.Am I a fanboy?No I don't think so.Also I can name plenty of times I gave ohter players credit for incredible performences,I gav Melo his credit for scoring 50 vs a Heat team that was missing tree starters (any one who knows will tell you I hate Melo) I gave KD his credit when he scored 50+ vs my Dallas Mavericks, etc. So toanswer what you ask me,yes I would have gave said peoplee the same credit.
I also am a kobe bryant fan, but I love lebrons, durants, and other players' game as well. Lebron very well might end up passing kobe in rankings. I agree with that. But however I don't think there's a chance in hell that he passes MJ. I don't see any player getting more than 5 championships anymore, the league has too much talent. Durant's time will come before Lbj gets to 6, and someone else might come after Durant too. The league is just way too good.
LOL And just think about what MJ did. Perfect 6 nba championships on 6 trips, 6 finals mvps, 5 league mvps, defensive player of the year, 10 time scoring champion, 3 time steals leader. As well as averaging 31.2ppg, 6.6rpg, 11apg in the 1991 nba finals, or scoring 55 in an nba finals game. Averaging 41ppg, 8.5rpg, and 6.3 apg for that series. I bring these numbers up because even if someone were to somehow match all of his gaudy accolades, they will never put up these types of performances in an nba finals series the way mj did consistently, still giving him the edge. I wouldn't hold my breath on anyone passing MJ in this lifetime.
If anyone has any sort of chance, I would say its durant. He seems to developing an all around game. Combine that with the fact that he's probably the deadliest scorer ever, means that he could put up some legendary numbers in the future. And I don't foresee anyone close to his talents younger than him challenging him for championships. But hey, this is all speculation
