The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

[Wamu]

I think it's fair to say were times Kobe was...especially pre Lebron. To level Lebron has been? Hell no.

Kobe's an all time great obviously. But he's not better than LeBron. The head to head stats (LeBron's got him beat across the board), plus all star selections and all NBA teams prove that.

Year 20 LeBron averaged 28.9. Kobe averaged 17.6.

oh no doubt Lebron better.....but will say Kobe was at a time being compared to MJ (not like Lebron is).

Should we talk about 30 year old Jordan shit instead?

Or maybe just beat the Lebron...flopping, team hopping, singlehandedly destroying every professional sport on the planet stuff. That hasn't been covered enough. lol

The Kobe MJ comparison is about style only.

There is no further comparison.

Very clear to see a large gap between the 2 players’ accomplishments.

Would have thought, but not in the forums I'm in. Very good amount who are not happy unless complaining about something/someone after every game. 14 game winning streak (3rd of 12 or more) and 54-10 record? No matter. They never "disappoint". Hell, if nothing else after every win now they can cry that Hunter is not starting over Strus.

And of course there were many who have just been so critical of Altman and the FO and simply not in them to be happy where the team is now (and maybe own they were wrong).

I mean, I get the MO.....this way if the team loses any playoff game and/or does anything but win the title they get what they really crave in sports. The I-told-you-so fake personal win. Weird way to be a "fan" but whatever.

Success breeds higher standards/expectations. Fans are actually more laid back when their teams are bad, no pressure.

Agreed. Pretty easy to see Kobe modeled his game around MJ, right down to form and movements.

Not the only one either. I still remember the Harold Miner comparisons lol.

Forgot about that. Wasn't he called baby Jordan?

OK, but to be clear was only saying not really fair to say Kobe was never compared to him. He was. And I don't mean in a Harold Miner/Baby Jordan way.

Not Cleveland fans (at least forums like these)......majority cry all the time.

And not a Cleveland thing.....I mean, even if the Ravens lose a game can find many forums where a bunch want Harbaugh fired. Just many fans not happy unless complaining.

I said post something legit backing your claim up.

Your opinion isn't a legit source.

If you're so sure other NBAers have been compared to MJ the exact same way LeBron has been you should have no problem finding a real article backing your opinion up.

But you didn't do that. Wonder why that is?

Wait, you don't remember Kobe ever being compared to Jordan? Are you serious or did you just start following basketball? You go dig up an article if you crave one. All you need to do is Google it.

Was he really talking like he would have fought LeBron if they had that conversation somewhere with no cameras around?

Idk, don't care. Im just sick of the dude. ESPN exists because it is a central haven for sports but their decision making is trash to say the least.

Theyve given up on a lot of talent to pay that fuckstick.

Just wait until he is running for president against Trump in 2028.

Our country is so horribly messed up I think there is a solid chance that is what we get.
