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

[SonnyG8R]

A better question might be where does Kobe rank on the all-time Lakers list.

1. Magic

2. Kareem

3. Kobe

Any arguments?

4.Shaquille O’Neal

Gotta go with Larry Legend. The toughness, passing, and rebounding are all categories I feel he has the edge on. Both are great, but I just think mentally, there a few players tougher than Bird.. Kobe to me isn't one of them

Agreed. I actually put Shaq above Kobe on the all time great list. He was so dominant during his prime and when he and Kobe were both in LA it was shaq's team. he won all the Championship MVP's.

I completely agree with you...

Probably Kobe, but he will also go down as the bigger *****.

where the hell have you been, Syd?!?!?


SEC better watch out this year...Trojans will be in the national title game

You think Kobe would do worse in the 80's? When zone defense was not legal?

right? that's a scary thought

to me its EASILY Larry Bird. not even close. And I'm not hating.


.

dude, you started watching basketball when Lebron came into the league...stick to hockey you hating ass canuck

I never said worst...I mean he wouldn't of accomplished as much as he has now in the 80's

think about teams not able to play zone on kobe...in a league where you had really top heavy teams and REALLY crappy teams...Kobe would have had more Toronto-like nights

that looks about right

[Joeyzagz]

noone is better than Magic...that can't be a knock on Kobe

Bird had to deal with Magic & Kareem on the same team!


And still won as many rings as Kobe whos biggest threat was 5'11 Allen Iverson.

The Trojans will be in the thick of it for sure. I still hate that Lane Kiffin but he's built a good staff around him and they continue to get top notch recruits. I'd love to see Urban Meyer have a mental breakdown on the sidelines during a national televised game, lol. Florida is destined for another down year, but I still think Bama and LSU are the teams to beat.

Reggie Miller
Tim Duncan
Jason Kidd
Chris Weber
Scottie Pippen
Dwight Howard
Pierce, Garnett, Allen
Steve Nash


ALL of the guys Kobe went against to get titles and you conveniently highlight Iverson's sorry ass...good job
