re: Most Overrated Player In NBA History

We've briefly posted on this, Kobe's reputation as a killer I'd say is vastly overrated. Kobe's antics in 2006 against Phoenix were as pathetic as Lebron's quitting against the Celtics in 2010. I'm not aware of any such issues with effort with Michael Jordan, but I'd be interested to look into them if someone knows of such a performance.

Kobe's main argument isn't even statistical, it's NBA writer-based reputation awards (All Defense, All NBA, etc.). The irony is that all that love wasn't enough for a legit MVP, and he got kind of a career achievement MVP in 2008.
Oh and then there's all the esoteric stuff like "Mamba mentality"
When a person claims that Kobe was better than Lebron, you know either the irrationality, emotionality, or lack of intelligence is at play.
