No denying now, even when the Lakers add 2 more players to share the ball with(and he has), he starts the season 20 lbs. underweight, he reinjures his shooting shoulder twice, had his right index shooting finger sliced open, and having all these court appointments in Colorado, Kobe is the best player in the NBA, maybe even ever. Who knows, maybe his career will be more impressive than MJ's when he retires, hell, its nearly as good already and hes only barely 26.
I am an avid Kings fan, but I have to admit Kobe is special. I just hate his arrogance. Always have, always will. As far as being better than MJ...NO WAY!
Kobe as the best player ever? Are you serious? You cannot possibly be serious. Lets analyze this situation. Kobe is compared to Jordan cause they are about the same height(Kobe is slightly taller) and they play similarly in the way they are good all around players. Kobe is not at the level Jordan was. Period. Lets check how many MVPs Kobe has at this point. Zero. He is not even the best player in the NBA this year. Garnett is putting up way better numbers than Kobe. Kobe doesn't lead the league in any department or statistic. He has surely had his difficulties off the court this season, but he really only started even playing well after the all-star break. When has Kobe even had his own team? Never in his entire career, he has always been on Shaq's team. Kobe belongs in the top 10 in the league right now. Lets not get ridiculous and start saying he is the greatest player yet.
