Please you and your fellow Kobe haters are just like the people you complain about....
"People Like Me" don't like personal attacks from "People Like You "!
I presented facts when you are spewing bull****!
You labeled it a lie and then preceeded to make up scenarios instead of watching the ...

Not true!! Jordan wasn't a great dribble and could not consistently hit jump shot beyond mid range...
His first few years he dominated by mid range,layups and dunks!!
He wasn't a great ball handler and didn't scare anyone from '17-'20 feet..
As I posted above Orlando Wooldridge was the best...

West never said anything about only using them because they were assistant coaches!!
You are making s**t up!!!
You are the epitome of an uniformed lying dude!
Keep making sh** up to push your fake ,wrong story!
You ready to do a video call to any former NCAA ,NBA or overseas professiona...

You sound ridiculous! It didn't matter how old Cooper was,West picked him for specific reasons!
Why would he scout the world when So.Cal is full of high level basketball players!
Especially since West didn't want any other team to draft Kobe!
It wasn't a worldwide event!
It was a closed pr...

So now you question the Great Jerry West?
You are a joke!
Out of hundreds of ball players available, he picked Michael Cooper to play Kobe Bryant!
Cooper must have been still capable of playing good enough basketball to be the right competition?!
Or maybe Jerry West didn't know what he w...

You are funny!! All the interviews are online!
.
THE INTERVIEWS ARE ALL ONLINE!!!
You don't know anything about me.
I provide facts and you dismiss them even after I tell you where to confirm them!
You refuse to accept that you are another bulls*** poster on tigerdroppings.

Not comparing careers just skills entering the league.
I make that very clear....

Btw,I didn't bring up 3 point field goal attempts....
I said '17-'20 which is outside what is considered mid range field goals.
Shorter than the international line and definitely shorter than the NBA line.

Well you are fairly wrong!
Jerry West worked out high schooler Kobe against Michael Cooper and Kobe destroyed the NBA defensive specialist so bad they stopped the workout!
It's well documented!
It's also well documented that Kobe came off the bench as a rookie because Eddie Jones was a very...

Posted by 1970sPurpleKnight on 5/7/24 at 1:20 am
I'll take the opinion of Jerry West AND Phil Jackson who have consistently said that Kobe Bryant as a rookie was more NBA ready than Michael Jordan was his rookie year..
Kobe had professional basketball skills and talent as a rookie.
Jordan was a good college basketball player with superb ath...

None of them has proven that they have what it takes to win multiple playoff series yet either.
That is why even though they are popular and the future of the league; they all have a lot to prove before they can "BE BETTER " than Curry,Kobe,MJ,Wade,West,Isiah, Magic and other multiple title w...

Brunson could always score...
Ja was unstoppable especially going downhill because of his jumping ability and his use of either hand at the rim!!
Brunson ,Booker,Mitchell and Edwards are not doing anything that Ja hasn't done!
It's about doing it yearly as far as individual greatness.

Can he sustain it?
Will he improve yearly?

Not even close!!
This year is the first in his NBA career that he has taken everything to the next level..
Off season training, offensive game,defense and leadership!
If he continues improving, stays consistent then he MIGHT eventually reach the level that MJ,Kobe, Wade,Jerry West,Steph Cu...

That is a New take...Everyone including Phil agrees that Kobe came into the league more skilled than Jordan...
Funny you have missed that Kobe had a better jumper then MJ did as a rookie.
Kobe also was more fundamentally sound than MJ comparatively speaking.
Better footwork, a better jump ...

re: LeBron still doesn't have that killer instinct like Jordan and Kobe
Posted by 1970sPurpleKnight on 4/23/24 at 1:11 am
All the NBA players ranked and rank Kobe over LeBron because they go by more than stats!!!
It's only LBJ fans,Kobe haters and Media that think Kobe Bryant was below LBJ!!
What is crazy is 2 of 3 AND 3 of 3 are one and the same!!! SMH!!
