    Yeah, I'd take Butler over Klay.

    Klay is really good...but I think he's overrated. Butler is good regardless Rose's status...I'm not so sure Klay would be as good without Curry.

    Why the Ef is Kobe #6?

    I'd take nick young over kobe this year. Wiggins is closer to top 6 than kobe.

    I think Kobe is a more all-around player than swaggy p which makes me believe that even kobe misses so many shots, i would take he is a more convinceable go-to guy for LA Lakers

    I'm confident that if Kobe played within a system that was efficient and he played within that system he could be scoring around 18ppg at a decent efficiency which would make him roughly the 6th best sg in the league.

    Kobe's ego won't let him. He is the system right now.

    Aside from being a chucker, Kobe is a comic liability on defense. He has become one of the very worst in the league, he's like a less athletic James Harden circa 2013.

    I have him ranked alphabetically between Caron Butler and Rasual Butler.

    He's a top 5 MVP candidate now.

    After 4 years in college and 3 years as a pro I didn't think this was possible. Good for him.

    This is how I see it right now. He would never play an efficient game of basketball if he felt it limited his production. If your team is better without you on the court.. you're not top 10 at your position.
