Kobe Bryant. You say those two words to any sports fan and you get scattered reactions. "The greatest player ever", "The next Micheal Jordan", "MVP of the 2010 Finals", "Won 5 NBA Finals", "Just plain ridiculous".
But, is Kobe really that good of a player? Can his name even be metioned in the same sentence as Micheal Jordan? Some say yes others say no.
My take? No.
Yes, Kobe hits amazing shots from ridiculous spots on the floor but he isnt all that. Take Game 7 of the 2010 Finals where he was 6 from 24 from the field, 0 for 6 on 3 point attempts and 23 points scored. Ah, but that isnt the only kicker, even with those numbers he still ended up getting MVP for the Finals. What? If any player should have gotten MVP it should have been Artest for his great effort and I don't even like Artest so that is saying a lot!
I believe Kobe is just caught up in the hype. He was named MVP because well...he is Kobe. You say his name and everyone knows him. I guess he could even be President if he wanted to, even if he never showed up to any of his public appearences. Connecting that to basketball, he could even win MVP without showing up to the game...just like in Game 7.
Overall, Kobe=NOT ALL THAT.
Lebron?
Greatest player ever?
No...but...
Better Than Kobe!
What is your take?
