Well, the OP said in his PRIME. In his PRIME, TMac is so much better than Kobe. TMac with a bunch of scrubs > Kobe with a bunch of scrubs. Imagine if Shaq had stayed with the Magic. TMac + Shaq = dynasty for many years.
Kobe's prime is slighty better than T-Mac's due to the fact that Kobe being a much better 1 on 1 defender. Offensively they are pretty much dead-even.
lol at posting this on a rockets forum. Kobe pwned in his prime and is a much better player then tmac, i love tmac to death but some of the anti kobe hate on these forums are just hilarous. Hes the best player in the nba currently and ill rather have kobe then tmac any day.
yup it was yao's fault tmac went scoreless in teh 4th quarter and couldnt hit his free throws to save his life.
What game are you talking about? The games he didn't score in the 4th were the first 2 vs the jazz when rafer wasn't here and he only shot poorly from the FT line this year...how are you equating yao into this when he was injured? Its Yao's fault he lost 4 rebounds to boozer in the final minute of the game last year game 7, thats what lost us the series so shutup! If you have noticed Yao never comes up big in the 4th
even in tmacs prime, he didn't have the killer instinct kobe does. so while he has a few inches in length and some amazing athleticism, kobe's talent and killer insticts wins in a landslide. this is a 'no contest.'
lol at blaming yao. Yao isnt the captain of the team, yao isnt making 22 mil a year. It isnt rafer's fault that tmac was scoreless in the 4th quarter, superstars step it up in the clutch. And tmac only shot poor from teh FT line this year? lol tmac has never shot 80% from the FT line in his career, it wasnt only this past year, hes always been a bad ft shooter. Dont get me wrong, im a huge tmac supporter, but some of you guys support him never the less because hes a rocket. Kobe is and was a better player then tmac.
What ? Did you even watch the games? TMAC was playing point the first 2 and doing it all, its not a 1 man team, wow. In his "prime" was the question and its evident the answer is tmac
Anyone that thinks Kobe was better in their primes probably never saw any magic games. <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6mq4tveJxI0&hl=en"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6mq4tveJxI0&hl=en" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>
