None of those guys you mentioned have had as many elite seasons as you wrote other than Lebron James.
STEPH CURRY 5 SEASONS AGO averaged 22 Points and shot 45 %
KOBE BRYANT 5 SEASONS AGO(old man Kobe) averaged 27 Points and shot 46%
So OLD KOBE was actually better than 'Elite Steph'.
STEPH CURRY 6 SEASONS AGO was actually injured all the time and averaged around 11 to 14 points.
OLD KOBE 6 SEASONS AGO averaged around 27 Points again.
STEPH CURRY 7 SEASONS AGO averaged 18 points and that was still Kobe on the tail end of his prime(utterly destroyed Steph).
Kobe's second half of career is literally in the same era as those guys you mentioned. Kobe just RETIRED you talking like he was from the 40's. Lmao.
FROM 2010-2013 WestBrook averaged around 5 points less a game than KOBE and SHOT AT A LOWER %. I don't know what basketball world you live in, but nobody considered 2010-2013 Westbrook 'elite' he was just an all star.
Curry,Westbrook, Harden all had 4 elite seasons. That's it. To match Kobe's elite seasons of 2001-2011, they need 6 more to go. Curry will never reach it. He's 30. You telling me at 36 he will still be elite? That will be the first.
Now if you lower the bar into 'ALL STAR' seasons,(ala maybe 22-23 PPG average, good all around play) Kobe had 14. The rest of the guys you mentioned bar Lebron and Durant all had maybe 6-7(still a long way away)
Regardless of Elite or All Star standards, one standard is for sure.
FROM 2010-2013 Kobe Bryant had better stats and was a better player than Curry,Harden,Westbrook. By 2014, he was already a shell.
But you are probably a crazy person who thinks 22 points from Steph at 45% is >than 27 Points from Kobe at 46
