Kobe Bryant

Ri believe he will be in the top 3 in the all time scoring list... he will retire in about 7 years... no one knows when someones numbers will fade, we will just see how kobe keeps himself healthy in a couple years... kobe is 14th all time in the scoring list... his next victim is one of the greatest clutch shooters ever, reggie miller... i think kobe is more skilled than jordan... hes got every single offensive move in the book and is a great defender... and being more skilled does NOT make kobe a better player than jordan... *****

RKobe Bryant plays in the NFL.

RKobe wouldn't have 5 rings, probably 2, Cp3 will not be in New Orleans, the Lakers wouldn't be as successful as they were in 09 and 10 without him. Alot of things would've changed.

RHow sad is it that Kobe has 5 rings and LeBron has one. Just read theses statsStats of every finals appearance by Kobe2000: 15.6 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.1 assist(remember Kobe was only 22 and he was told by Phil not to do much) Outcome of Finals: Win2001: 24.6 points, 7.8 rebounds, 5.8 assists Outcome: Win2002: 26.5 points, 5.75 rebounds, 5.25 assists(Okay this is absurd. Kobe Bryant deserved this Finals MVP. He got all theses stats on 52% field goal shooting! That is numbers a post-player should average. He is a perimeter shooter. Plus, Kobe was insane in the clutch in 2002. In 2000 and 2001 he would close every game out really well. But in 2002, he was insane. He would carry his team to victory and there was no doubt that Lakers would win.) Outcome: Win2004: 22.6 points, 2.8 rebounds, 4.4 assists(The whole Lakers team failed to win the championship. The 2004 pistons team was the best defensive team ever assembled. They held around 20 teams under 70 points in the regular season. Considering all the defense, Kobe's and Shaq's stats were great.) Outcome: Loss2008: 28.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.4 assists(Kobe single-handedly lead his team to the NBA finals. He would have won the NBA finals if it was not for the injuries of Bynum and Ariza. It was tragic...but injuries happen and he lost) Outcome: Loss2009: 26.8 points, 5.2 rebounds, 4.9 assists Outcome: Win2010: 28.6 points, 8 rebounds, 3.9 assists Outcome: WinKobe Bryant: 7 finals appearances, 5 ringsLeBron Finals Appearances Stats2007:22.0 points, 7.0 rebounds, 6.8 assists(35 percent field goal percentage and was the leader of his team in his first appearance. 29.6 percent field goal percentage in the fourth quarter.) Outcome: Loss2011: 17.8 points, 6.8 rebounds, 6.8 assists(a little bit too passive for the leader) Outcome: Loss2012: 28.6 points, 10.2 rebounds, 7.4 assists( great basketball) Outcome: WinKobe Bryant: 5 rings LeBron: 1 ringKobe Bryant Finals Winning Percentage: 72 percentLeBron James Finals Winning Percentage: 34 percentKobe>LeBron Hope you get that.

RKobe got 5 points and Jordan got 30

RKobe didnt shoot low percentage for a guard!But he was criticized last season especially for taking a lot of shots and for shooting lowest percentage since his sophmore year so if u know Kobe just a bit, you know he cae out this year to prove those people wrong. and if you watch him play, he's taking better shots, higher percentage. but also his 3's are much better this season. last season was difficult for many player due to the lock out which brought him down too and 2010-11 season he had a really bad knee

RKobe to be retired in 5-6 years is a realistic expectation.Kobe's intensive shooting drill pays off because he is now leveraging his basketball IQ and shooting to rule the game, and shooting instinct is something that will not fade out when a player is aging.Meanwhile, there is no precedent for a team retiring two jersey numbers for the same player, and I doubt Kobe deserves such privilege I guess Kobe prefers to retire 24 because it represents his era.

REveryone acts like Jordan can do no wrong. When he missed a game-winning shot, they said it was good defense or just a lucky miss. When Kobe misses, he is a ballhog, and questioned as a leader.Kobe has never compared himself to Jordan. Fans and media like to make these comparisons, just to be able to debate something.Kobe does have faults in his game, but Jordan did as well. And, don't go talking about Kobe's personality, because Jordan has a pretty big ego himself.I just don't understand why so many people hate on Kobe. Surely, 7 years from now, we will miss the days of him playing.

Rdepends on the human. For a nun its worthless, for a kobe collector its valuable.

RWhat up Corey,LOL... love the sarcasm man... it's enough to buy you a ticket to a Warriors game. (Just take it as friendly jabs between two of the "old-timers" loyal to their teams on Y!A All i can say is that Kobe didn't play his best game tonight and he just does what he does in the 4th quarter. It's not good for the Lakers in that they keep falling into ruts and playing sloppy games and they are turning it on late to win. Yes they are still winning but they have a few weeks to right this before the playoffs begin. 16 turnovers by Kobe in the last 2 games is not acceptable. The Warriors played a heck of a game tonight- and while the game was entertaining it was far from the playoff basketball that i'd like to see the Lakers play.Nickster
