Kobe Bryant the most overrated player in NBA History?

Let's just say nobody benefited from the golden era of media more than Kobe in the NBA

 

Glenn Beck mode.

 

Kobe is a great player, and I don't know if he was the MOST overrated player ever. But he's definitely been overrated. How many consecutive All-Defensive Teams has he made, even though stats suggest that he's often been a mediocre defender? How long has he held the "clutch" label, even though he was an inaccurate clutch time ball-chucker over a period of several years?

I just shake my head when people seriously make MJ comparsions. Which is not as uncommon as it should be.

 

in be4 kobe trolls.

 

you know Kobe is relevant and a threat when this dude is making videos again. I love it

 

I don't know Kobe's defense and clutchness is overrated. All I know is his defense and clutchness is the biggest reason LeBron is no longer LeBronze.

 

I thought this guys commentary was legit until I saw he also posted something about John Cena vs The Rock. Lol

 

not listening to some random wigger rant for 10 minutes.

 

"The guy is great, he's an all-time great. Top 6 perimeter player of all time, so how can a guy that's so great be so overrated... Because... He took some moves from Michael, his team has had success and that's as far as people want to look."

This guy is an idiot...

Another thing, scoring 81 against the Raptors is impressive as ****! They needed those points, they won by 18. The Lakers were only up by, I believe 6 points going into the 4th quarter... and, really let's look at the starting line-up that game... Odom, Kwame, Mihm, and Smush...

I'm not saying Kobe is the GOAT... But, he is in the top 5 players I've ever seen.

 

Oh, and OP... I hate your username.

 

People forgot Kobe scored 62 in 3 quarters against Mavs, the top seed in the league. He could have another 80 points game there if he wanted.

 

Kobe is great, no doubt, and a tad bit overrated. However, Jordan will always be better, the accolades state that.

Also, LOL at the Kobe jock-riders bringing Lebron into a thread he isn't mentioned, AGAIN.

 

I had to try and watch it. I only got about 4 minutes through... But, best part:

"I've compiled a little over 3 hours of footage, that I recorded of these 2... Their involvement with each other..."

Please tell me he gets paid for these videos.

 

It's relevant because LeBron nuthuggers are always the most active in this kind of topic. A reality check wouldn't hurt.

 

Here we go again...

I think someone should make a forum...a entire forum where the main topic is "Kobe vs Lebron"

This subject pops up monthly on every NBA forum any ways.

 

The Dallas/Toronto games were 2 individually great games, but a few great games shouldn't impact a player's overall body of work. For example, how often do you hear people talk about Jordan's 63 pt game against the Celtics in the playoffs? Not very often. And that was in the playoffs while Kobe's Toronto/Dallas games were both meaningless, regular season games. In terms of regular season exploits, McGrady's 13 pts in 33 seconds is far more impressive.

 

LOL, are you implying LeBron is the most overrated player ever? Coz regular season games do not matter.

Kobe has 5 rings. I mean, he's not MJ. But I don't know how he can be labeled overrated? If anything, he's one of the most overachieved players ever.
