Who will go down as the greater player Kobe Bryant or Larry Bird?

[$tate of Mind]

These are two certified ATG's!

Kobe played WITH the best 7 footer in the game for 8 years and won 3 rings.

Bird played AGAINST the best 7 footer in the league for 8 years and won 3 rings.

Thats the difference.

BIrd wins this.

kobe isnt even better than magic..

larry and magic were forever linked and interchangeable on the ATG ranking..

but though i hate kobe's arrogant ass, he belongs in the top10 when he hang those sneakers up..

I think Kobe will go down as the greater player. I'm neither a Laker or Celtic fan though, I'm just an NBA fan. I'm just curious to see what the general consensus of the forum is...

[MaD RoBoT]

obviously if this comes down with number of rings, it's Kobe

but when you picture in statistics, performances and other intangibles, Bird is way ahead

bird did average a double double for his career
