Kobe relative to era simply is efficient. for example 46% in his prime years vs Jordan 48% except Kobe's era was actually less scoring and slower pace. Lerbon 50% vs Kobe 45% for career, except Kobe lived on a harder shot diet than anyone else. There you go. 45% on any shot you want... was good in the early 2000's edit: you said all those things lol Edit: Playoffs for their Career Kobe 48% EFG. (Gets higher if you exclude first 2 seasons) Michael Jordan 50% EFG. Nearly Identical to the goat in scoring efficiency by itself.

And yet again, the sun sets on another legend. He passes beyond, to that great stage in the sky, where he will be playing forever as the universe gathers to watch his greatness. Miss you too much. R.I.P (Return If Possible) Black Mamba.🎉

agree for the most part. the peak thing bugs me though. ability wise, you can put up mid 2000s Kobe against anybody. when he was still elite on D and was the greatest volume scorer of all time? in 06 he literally took his team from the 3rd worst offense since the merger (off court) to top 5 in the league (on court). there was a reason why Mark Jackson said he thought Kobe would go down as greater than MJ that season, it was when people saw that, oh shit, he might be on that level. That is why his peers compare him to MJ. then you look at the 08-10 playoff runs and, i'll be honest, i don't know if i can name 5 3 year playoff stretches that are better when you consider competition (11 50+ win teams in 3 years, never replicated) and defense. yeah i know he wasn't elite at that point but he was still better than Magic, Bird or Steph ever were. 30 PPG on good efficiency captaining that team through those playoff years, toughest conference in league history. and let's not forget, Pau is a deserving HOFer and was a great number 2, but where TF is he without Kobe? is he comparable to D Wade, AD, Pippen, Kareem, McHale, hell Kobe, as a second best player?

I mean around 09-10 he was coasting lil bit on defense, but after 2010 he was costing full time, but in his prime in 03-08 he was a defensive monster

Kobes defenseive reputation needed to be addressed for SURE.

Great video rip Kobe bean Bryant one of my favorite Kobe performances was that 61 game against the Knicks wow 🔥🔥

love the new thumbnail layouts keep up the great work Brodie!!!

Biggest lie told about kobe: he was inefficient. He shot above 45 percent, aka above league avg in 12 out of 20 seasons. He was actually pretty damn efficient

Kobes peak is being a bit underated here. At his peak he was a great defender and a walking 30 ppg

“If Kobe Bryant were to have retired in 2008 or 2009, I don’t think anyone is putting him in Top 5 discussions, maybe even Top 10” is crazy when there are literally mountains of quotes from players, coaches, GM’s, and analysts saying Kobe was “Only behind Mike”, “Top 5”, etc. All it takes is a simple search lmao. You could argue Kobe’s years after that Achilles injury is what helped to push the narrative that he isn’t Top 10.

As a Die hard kobe fan, I see no lies told in this video. Kobe is my goat but I'm fine when people rank him as top 10. Outside top 10 is when I start gettin mad

Thank u for vid

This thumbnail you got is fire af man

Happy Birthday, R.i.p. 🙏 Kobe. Still can't believe your gone.

Most missed shots in NBA history, he WAS inefficient. People will ALWAYS overate Kobe.

I still think Kobe deserved to be in the all nba second team defense from 07-12 for sure. Not saying much but he deserves to be in that class. And with all the teams he made is an accomplishment

I still believe Kobe is a top 5 or 3’player base off of what I’ve seen him do on both sides of the ball, The media came up with that narrative that Kobe was inefficient, One thing is for sure we all always learn something new about a player no matter how long they played, Their are many channels that debunk a lot of Kobe narratives and showing only one video of someone blowing past him is one thing but all in all cool

Shoot I’d even give Allen Iverson a pass for being an inefficient scorer because he was 5’11” playing in a deadball era where it was more difficult to score. Dude had to get around 6 and 7-footers to get to the basket and there wasn’t much spacing at the time to help him out. Add to the fact that he was the only scoring option on his team for most of his career. His shooting percentage actually got better when he joined the Nuggets and had Melo on his side.

to clarify something here, kobe wasn't simply top 5 to 10, by 01 he was already consensus top 3, a lot of people felt like he was the best in the world simply based off what he did in the western conference bracket, on the road to the finals in 01 he was clearly the best and many... albeit not the majority felt like he was already the best

Okay here's some things that need to be talked about, when bron, bird, curry were at there peek they had all time great teams to point were they were able to play better offensively and defensively. Kobe 05-07 didn't have that luxury he had the team that he had in the 2000, he would be far more efficient and better defensively. 2000-03 Kobe is arguably the second greatest defensive guard of all time, Kobe in 08-10 was elite defensively as well infact in 08 he was top 5 in the dpoy race. This was a older less athletic Kobe who still had to carry alot offensively. Other than that I agree and like the video

This video is amazing. I wasn’t sure if this was gonna be positive, negative or both. And it turned out to be both which is perfect because people love to overrate or underrate Kobe for agendas. I agree with literally every point.

He is In the 5-8 range. You can justify an argument in that range.

For him being my favorites player ever its crazy how people still dog him to this day like he wasn't that guy thin when he passed its "OOOOOOO he's the 🐐 now" like stop the BS and keep the same energy. Ever since when he was getting older & retired MFs us to get on my nerves when they us to talk shit about him but after a few years and now i dont give 2 f***s what you have to say about him. All i knew was he could play both ends of the floor and im not saying he was the best defender but he was the guy that was going to guard your best player. Score lights out and do anything it took to win at the end of the day......Really enjoying the video and keep them coming!!!!!💯🎯🐍🔥🧠

I thought this video was really great. I love how we touched on both negative and positive things that are lies about Kobe. Especially his defense being overrated, but this video was very balanced and it was just an honest video. Keep up the awesome work!

I wanted to watch some mustard, I wanted to hear some Kobe... I just didn't wanna hear Kobe get disrespected. You succeeded at all those things. I've just been a huge fan of the tough shot making and clutch scoring since I was a kid and someone who was very high on Kobe.. before he passed. Basketball legend. 5 championships on a shot diet you had to see to believe. resilient scorer in any game or circumstance.

Wing defenders can help big defenders. That’s a huge reason the 90’s Bulls were able to dominate without ever having a great center. You think Luc Longley could just handle Shaq on his own? So yes a guard can definitely be the most valuable defensive player on the floor.

Great video. You defended my boy and still criticized him fairly. This is what basketball talk should be. No agendas be fair, hold every player in the upper echelon to the same standards. Salute to you for not popularizing Kobe hate. Long Live Bean🐍🐍🐍

I don't think there's enough evidence to say he's not top 5 🤷

I recently came across your video discussing Kobe Bryant's career, specifically focusing on his offensive efficiency and the perception of him being carried. I appreciate the thought-provoking points you made in your video, but I wanted to address one aspect where I respectfully disagree: Kobe Bryant's defensive abilities. In my view, Kobe was far from being overrated defensively. Throughout his career, Kobe was known for taking great pride in his defensive skills and actively sought out the challenge of guarding the opposing team's most potent offensive threats. He fully embraced the role of being a stopper and relished the opportunity to go head-to-head against the best players in the league. So I call cap my guy on this assessment lol! While it is true that even the greatest defenders have their flaws, it's important to acknowledge that defending exceptional offensive players is a challenging task. They will inevitably score and occasionally embarrass even the most proficient defenders. However, Kobe always accepted this challenge and never shied away from it. To illustrate this point further, let's consider other renowned defenders. Michael Jordan, for example, had difficulties defending smaller guards, while LeBron James has occasionally lost focus or been caught out of position when defending off the ball. Even Tim Duncan, who was an outstanding defender overall, had instances where opponents could exploit him in pick-and-roll situations. Every player, regardless of their defensive prowess, has weaknesses. Wade had some difficulty defending against three-point shooters. He occasionally struggled to close out effectively on perimeter shooters, leaving them open for uncontested shots. Moreover, I understand that videos can be curated to push a particular narrative. If one were to compile clips of defensive errors, it would be possible to create a misleading portrayal of any player's defensive capabilities. It's essential to take a holistic view and appreciate the overall impact Kobe had on the defensive end. Lastly, I must emphasize Kobe’s unparalleled work ethic and his unwavering commitment to the game. Throughout his career, he faced numerous injuries that would have sidelined many other players. These include multiple ankle injuries, finger injuries, knee problems, a devastating Achilles tendon tear, a knee fracture, and shoulder injuries. Despite these setbacks, Kobe consistently displayed remarkable resilience, often playing through pain, and never compromising his contributions on both ends of the court. I wanted to express my admiration for KB’s defensive abilities and his extraordinary work ethic. His dedication to continuously challenge himself and put his body through immense strain sets him apart as one of the all-time greats. I value the opportunity to share alternative perspectives and engage in discussions about the game we love. Peace!!

I agree I think Kobe is either overrated or overhated, Kobe is definitely a top 10 player of all time tho that part is undisputable but also putting him higher than 5 is definitely overrating him, he’s on the same level as Tim Duncan, another polarizing player, his defense bring a little overrated was a good point too, people need to understand putting players over Kobe isn’t disrespectful especially if the players are MJ, LeBron, Magic, Karim and MAYBE Tim Duncan

IMO Kobe all time is only overrated when his Stan’s try to say he’s over a Bron all time which is a convo he DOES NOT win and that’s okay his Stan’s need to realize that

The thing with effenciency is I think the younger generation don't realise (because they weren't there) iverson and Rose's MVP. I can't even be bothered to explain why it's dumb to underrate them

Efficiency is what’s ruining basketball real hoopers don’t care about that NBA changes back than in 2000s was harder to score

Dreamerspro needs to react to this😂😂😂

Kobe Bryant is my favorite player but he's (2 )behind M.J (1)

why cant i save this video to one of my playlists haha

kobe is my top 12 for sure and this dude was great

Great video! The efficiency argument is the hards one to accept. There are players that have played 15-20 years and still shot 47-50% from the field. The fact they were able to maintain such great efficiency goes greatly against his argument for Kobe. (Kobe never shot above 46% for a season) Players that shot at least 47% from the field for a career over 15-20 years (I’ve select players from different positions and play styles) MJ Durant LeBron Drexler Steve Nash (The NBA ideal shooting efficiency is 50/40/90, the closer a player comes to those numbers the better) Kobe: 45/33/84 *numbers rounded to nearest* I like Kobe, I think he’s a too 10 player all time, so this is not hate just facts

I disagree he was a great defensive player who moved his puppies. He would pick up full court which consumes a lot of energy. But most importantly he did have more responsibility by doing it on both ends of the court. And Kobe’s first two years and his last three years hurt his shooting percentage. Which his first two years he didn’t play much and his last three years he was coming off a Achilles tear. And the 2000s were the hardest era of basketball 🏀 with a average scoring was 96 points. Again Kobe learned how to move his puppies from the Glove.

So glad you addressed his defense being overrated. People really think he’s sum top 10 defensive player when he’s barely even top 30 on that end

I really hate when people say Kobe is better than LeBron. That's such a unserious and dumb take

Name of outro song?

I don’t get how I’m one point you can say Kobe played in the dead ball era, which may have been the reason he efficiency was off, to say that he didn’t have a peak as high as the other all time greats. Kobe was the best player of his generation and if he played in another era, his peak would have been even higher.

I don’t agree with the defensive comments, Phil Jackson, used to often make comments against Kobe Bryant, even when he was coaching him that was not totally accurate. I’ve been watching the NBA since the late 60s. And for those eras playing on Ball, Defense was more difficult than it is today

Kobe has to be one of the most disrespected players in the top 10.

What is the outro song

Kobe the 🐐

Kobe making 12 all defensive teams was popularity contest they robbed dwade and tony allen some of those. All he did was showboat guarding someone halfcourt he was never a lockdown defender, he was a lousy help defender and couldn't guard anyone in the post. Dwade never made 1st all defensive team because of him for crying out loud. I will also go to the extent that they robbed dwade of couple of 1st all nba teams favoring kobe post 2010 they even voted dwade as a point guard to the all nba team in '08-'10 even though he was the best shooting guard in the league from that point on just to keep kobe in there. Also kobe was never a talented shooter, after all the hardwork in the gym he only managed to be a slightly efficient than iverson. He has no business taking those many jumpshots he should've kept slashing to the rim like he did in the early 2000s until he became a lazy 1 on 1 scorer. If you say he took the most difficult shots that's on him. He took the hardest shots and rightfully missed a lot of them he also missed a lot of makeable shots anyway. He was also blessed to win those rings, when he got drafted he had shaq landing on his lap and when he demanded for a trade the lakers pulled off a heist by trading kwame brown for pau gasol. He wasn't the best player on his own team in the first 3 titles and when he tried to be the one they lost in 2004 against detroit when he was hogging the ball. He was great in '09. In 2010 he got bailed a lot by pau and artest and barely won the finals after his horrendous performance in the series when he only shot 40% field goal which is his worst output in a series since that 2004 finals. Post 2010 he had no business being 1st all nba or any all defensive player it was purely the reputation fueling him. Lastly, in his last 3 years when he was no longer athletic you thought he's gonna kill everyone purely with his skills but it turns out he was just clunking shots after shots he can't shoot and was no longer an nba player.

Idk if you just trying to fish for views but bro if you look up best defensive Shooting Guards of all time there are articles left and right saying hes up there behind mj

Why do people think “killer instinct” is just grinning your teeth and diminishing your teammates. Makes for a “cool” story or mentality for casuals I guess tho

He wasn't a sidekick my guy when there playoff run together both had equal numbers outside of rebounds

Kobe was a top 5-10 defender

Kobe played pretty good on ball defense for a guy who carried a heavy load offensively. You know damn well guys like Iverson, McGrady, Vince Carter, Melo, Durant, Curry etc, were not playing D like that. A lot of the players who are considered the greatest defensive players of all time didn’t need to score a ton like Kobe and Jordan had to.

Shooting percentage is the most overblown stat. DeAndre Jordan has the highest shooting percentage ever. What did that get him?

But don't you gotta get past the perimeter before you reach the paint tho

Did you know that peak Kobe is a top 3 scorer of all time? Did you know that the later peak of Kobe is damn near very great (08-10) when he faced 11 50-win teams. Imagine facing 2 8 seeds that won 50 games in the first round? There's a reason why people compare Kobe's peak to MJ's peak. The peak part is very wrong. Because if Kobe retired in '08, yes he wont be regarded as a top 10 player, because he was like Harden who scores much but doesn't translate to winning --- HOWEVER ---- 05-07- his ultimate peak, HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY HELP AT ALL. By the way in 05, they were right in the mix of the playoff hunt, but when Kobe got injured, that's when they fell out of the playoff picture. But what made Kobe's peak so impressive especially in the 08-10 season is that HE ONLY NEEDED 1 ALL STAR, and that started their dominance aka a mini-dynasty. Think about it -How many players do you know right esp in the top 10, who only had one all star by his team and a bunch of quality players, that beat 11 50 win teams in a 3 year run, and won back to back? MJ? Well he had Pippen and you can't tell me Gasol was better than Pippen ey? Yes in the last 2 championships Pippen sucked, but the first 4, he was better than Pau. The fact is Kobe's peak is vastly underrated because we only think of it as him leading the league in scoring without translating it to wins, but in reality, at the time of his ultimate prime, HE HAD NO HELP! You can do better than that @Yung Mustard. You mentioned that Kobe's peak was overrated without backing up any context to it, you just mentioned players names etc.

1. By 01 and 02, kobe was not carried. Ppl just look at finals stats, the western conference rounds matters as well 2. Kobe has a top 10 peak, dont care what nobody says 3. Every 2000s elite perimeter scorer is "inefficient" due to the lack of spacing and congestion that they faced. Kobe is not a shot chucker. He shoots to score and win games. For the elite 3 lvl scorer that he is, 45% is actually solid

Ability and skill wise, kobe has a good argument of being the best of all time

"Kobe is a better defender than Tim Duncan" is f'ckin absurd

When people bring up Kobe and efficiency neither side can actually provide a solid statistical argument. Naysayers bring up FG% which historically is low, but doesn’t give proper context to the league. Fanboys like to bring in TS%. Unfortunately Kobe’s TS% rises and falls heavily with FTA cause people for some reason forget that 2 FT’s made are weighted heavier than a layup made. Go cora-late the slide on 13:20 with FTA you’ll see +/- go up a lot when he’s 6+ FTAg. EFG% really to me shows where Kobe was as a guy shooting from the field cause it reflects league shot selection year to year and takes the whistle out of the compilation. Kobe from 1996-1997 to 2012-2013 pretty much within + or - 1% for league avg EFG% every year. So Kobe wasn’t efficient and he wasn’t inefficient. He was league average. Honestly though I think Kobe was a great player, but 3 things keep him out of the top 10 to me. 2004 finals, 2006 game 7 1st round, and 2008 finals. I’m not sure any single top 20 guy has anything quite as self inflicted as those three moments. 2004 is a more embarrassing performance than Magic Johnson 1983, Lebron James 2011, or Curry 2016. At least they got beat by a teams that had a top 50 all time player. 2006, I do not want to here about Kobe telling the lakers he needed help. In 2 years then went from old and outdated to a young rising team that should have beaten phoenix. In stead you get a glorified tantrum cause Kobe doesn’t like the narrative. 2008 was honestly crap he allowed boston to put him on a island and take a lot of ridiculous contested jumper. What was funny in 2010 he actually shot more, but it worked better cause he allowed the team and coaching to get him better open looks instead of idiotically trying to force everything.

Solid video. Just wanna push back on Kobe's defense. Your main supporting point was Coach Phil Jackson's statement about Kobe in 2011, which is already Kobe's 15th year in the league. Granted he just won his final championship in 2010, but to expect him to still be the same dog defesively as he is in his earlier years is asking for too much. But for sure, you know he can and will step up to the defensive assignment if needed, cuz that's the type of player he is, and that's the type of mindset he has. So no, he is not overrated defensively. In fact, he's elite, period.

How the hell could anyone have Kobe ranked over Shaq? Facts don’t care about feelings. If he was so great, there’s no way Shaq would’ve gotten not one… not two… but 3FMVPS.. Shaq leaves what happens? A 38 win season… he was trash til Pau came and saved the day. Let’s be realistic

Mamba black 💜💛🐍. Si me legends Kobe Bean Bryant 🐍💛💜🙏

Basketball is definitely not a game of height. Good vid though

There is a very telling stat when it comes to the Laker's Kobe and Shaq years. Without Shaq in the lineup the Lakers win % plummets, without Kobe in the line up the Laker's win % goes up. Shaq was far more important to those Laker's teams, its not even close and yes, you plug any great SG into that system and they probably win more. Kobe's insane ego kept them from winning in 04.

I love kobe but every since he passed away people are making a lot of revisionist statements about him and starting to overate him

Has no case for top 5.

17k 2w 87.6k subs

My top 2. Of all time behind my one my idols in sports MJ now try make a video talking about the biggest lies told about Kevin Durant who is one of my favorite players of all time if not my favorite player of all time and still is, he's top 3 for me

Shaq didnt "carry" Kobe. But he was the best player... Period

People just need to admit their bias. Kobe is the second best Shooting guard. He's not top three and he isn't outside the top ten. People either rip him to prop up their favorite or embellish to put him up there with Jordan. I had Wade as better than him about ten years ago on the all time list, but I am a Heat fan. I knew I was making the homer pick. Guy did so much for the NBA, man was a worker and helped a lot of young players. Much respect

Hardly any player has been so good for so long as Kobe. From 2001-2013 Kobe was a top 3 player every season. And top 2 for 10 years straight. I'd take that Kobe over anybody not named Jordan. He would have an off night from time to time but him being inefficient was always baffling to me. A card haters pull out when they want to critisize Kobe. The man really shot above league average true shooting percentage every year of his prime 2000-2013 while scoring way more than league average. Even if you want to compare purely FG%: Look at Kobe and Lebron ("the efficient player") shot attempts and makes per game for their career - it's about 1 shot difference, yet Kobe relied way more on outside shooting. Kobe's mid range percentage, anywhere from 3-25 feet, blows out Lebron's percentage, who gets most of his points on layups and dunks. Mamba Forever

I definetly wouldn't say Lebron had a better Peak than Kobe and definetly not Curry

I honestly disagree with you in that Kobe wasn't in the level of bird or magic in his prime. I think he was very much up there with those players.

Kobe was allways about league average (you cannot consider that all time great ) He had the most seasons with the most missed shots.

Underrated --- His athleticism and physical strength is pretty phenomenal. Playmaking ability as a collective scorer, passer, and making plays for other players. His off-the ball offense is often slept on, people often faulted alot of wing scorers from that era being disengaged when the ball wasn't in their hands, and that absolutely doesn't apply to Kobe. Overrated -- Late game heroics are legendary and nearly unmatched, but in the playoffs there are other challengers to that title, even the much maligned LeBron, KD and Curry are all pretty good in the 4th Quarter/Late game situations/Game 7s. After that injury 2012, he was not the same player, and probably got a few things off reputations, but most superstar players do. HOT TAKES: Kobe was arguably the best player in the league from 01-04, and he was the undisputed best player from 04-08. Nash and Dirk were great offensive players, but I don't think I'd take them over Kobe, while he was also far better defender than both at that stage of his career. Although, uber-talented and skilled, LeBron was still learning the ropes around the league, but he was the one that I think was closer to Kobe at the time. He should've had 2-3 more MVPs, easily. This is not me saying this as a fan or hater, this is purely from what his peers have said about him and people who had to guard him. Not a diss at Kobe, when people say that the Lakers would've won 3 titles with another great SG in his place. It's not because Kobe was inferior, it was because the Lakers had a juggernaut roster. You add any other high caliber, versatile guard next Van Exel/Jones/Horry/Campbell/Fisher/Fox or Rice/Harper/Grant/Horry/Fisher/Fox with Phil Jackson. The Lakers just had a strong haven of talent, and they could draft fairly well. Kobe, not on the Lakers, might have had a greater chance at breaking the All-Time scoring record and he may have had shot at the all-time scoring average lead. Kobe is not an "MJ clone", he had his own pure Kobe-Mamba style. Granted, he had a similar fadeaway and on-court gestures, but he did some things that were distinctly different from MJ.

No1 has an agenda. All ppl think is if you had one of the most dominant centers of all time in the game period it becomes a bit easier. Tmac Vince lillard AI Jason Kidd I can go on forever how much pressure does that take of you. Even to know if your assignment blows by you he still has Shaq to run into. Come maybe you’ve never played ball but when your tired and on offensive you throw the ball into Shaq and get a breather. Just present the stats without a bias. Cuz what happened in pistons lakers series? That was Kobe team. Came up short.just facts. It’s not a childish argument it’s just a question how well will he preform with the hall of fame centers??? Dwight Howard pau n Shaq. Be honest how would Reggie Miller do with that support. How would Gilbert arenas do with a hof centre. How would Devin booker play with a prime Hakeem or David Robinson. It’s the same thing ppl say about coaches. Would Jordan win without phil Jackson. Of course he would. Would kobe or steph win without coaches. Of course they would. It takes away from the player. So you can’t look at Shaq like a Shawn Bradley or something

Let's be real, he wasn't getting top 5 or 10 consideration until he died. I call that the Kurt Cobain Effect.

Y’all tripping bro he’s easily top 10 what other player other than Jordan would drop 40 to 50 pts and then go on the other end and shut down your best player

Nah fam Kobe peak is definitely up there with the greats 💀

Shaq only won with Kobe and Dwayne Wade. Two of the best Guards of All time. Shaq isn’t winning anything with just any regular guards

Nearly two steels are not good enough

Kobe being an elite player, and the fact that other elite players shot better than 50% many times in the era kobe played, using that league average or grading his efficiency relative to era is flawed. Kobe being the best tough shotmaker in history should not be championed as that is exactly what held him back and resulted in him never shooting over 47%. AI was simply just MORE INEFFICIENT than kobe. stop lowering the bar for kobe when it comes to his efficiency. THE MAN WAS INEFFICIENT.

Remember when Kobe rejected Lebron twice at the NBA All-Star game? Hilarious.

All imma say: He had the same coach as MJ But Ended up taking some of the toughest shots ever He made his game for the 90s then the game changed a lot and he said zone defense and those rules were hard Slowest era In a league full of more talented players (as per MJ quote) With less talent (mid 2000s Lakers) He peaked with little around him (06,7) Stats are misleading. He could beat players that were more effecient. He was almost impossible guard. If you replace him on the 90s Bulls... Wow

Kobe is the 29th best player ever

If you rank Kobe in top 3, he is VERY overrated. If you rank him top 10...he is kind of overrated. If you rank him top 20...he isn't overrated.

I am blown away by apologist in the comments actually saying the man was efficient. lol like what??? using league average and different percentages to find clever ways to sidestep the fact that he was inefficient. Its really simple by using fg%. Kobe is an elite player so he needs to be judged by that standard and by that standard he was not efficient. The man has held the record for most missed shots ever for a while. He has shot lower than 45% in 6 of 7 of his nba finals. yes slightly below 50%fg is not really inefficient but like i said he is Elite so judging by that he was very inefficient and he couldve been so much more inefficient if he didnt hijacked the teams offense, take on double and triple teams and take terrible/tough shots. He never shot 47% in a season even when he played with SHAQ. meaning not getting doubled and tripled. so please stop talking nonsense

A lot of y’all are corny and don’t know anything about on ball defense. What James Harden does is coast. Lebron doesn’t step up to take on the number one scorer and no one is afraid of Lebron guarding them and that’s sad.

We still are going to agree to disagree, But I do like your channel I won’t hate just because we disagree so 👍🏿

7:00 it shows you never watched basketball back then. kobe is top 10 all time defense and top 5 guard defense. lmao phil always said those things to do mind games. you are 100 stat guys who never played basketball lmaooooo

So sad that you didn’t bring out many numbers to back up your opinions. Peak of Kobe was insane and go look at the film of him guarding the number one perimeter player on every squad. You really pissed me off with a few of these takes and I think you need to go back and watch full games.

So nobody gonna talk about that nip slip @ 9:44

Top 15.

He stopped LeBron when he was past his prime . And LeBron was the best player in the league 2010 ish so say what you will, kobe was top 10 in nba period. He scored 81 in a game. 5 chips 2 with out shaq . Plus he has the dopest player shoes outside of Jordan obviously.

#3 is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard anyone say. If you cut off Jordan or LeBrons career after 10 years they wouldn't be considered one of the greatest either.

you saying peak kobe isnt top five you saying cut his 20 year career to a 12 13 year career he woudnt be as great when everyone in your top played 15+ guaranteed kobe at his peak could give you 50 a game and have your best permitter player shooting inefficient

wait so that thing he did in colorado isn't a lie?!?

Who gives at what you think I’ll stick to the players opinion

Must b a Legirl fan
