Don't get me wrong, Amare = THAT NIGGA ,lol, but that doesn't make it actually true. Aside from Duncan and Garnett who are better players because they're not only great players themselves but because they make their teammates better, I'd say Lebron is also better than Kobe right now. What does Kobe do other than score? It's this And 1 generation who think that scoring and dunking is what basketball is all about, that have our ass getting kicked by the rest of the world. Just because you're the best one on one player in the game doesn't mean you're going to be the next MJ. He was more than that. Fact is, Kobe isn't Jordan. Now, or in the future. There will never be another MJ.
We've been here before havent we? Jordan>everyone else, there that makes it easier.
Kobe has to score for the Lakers to win, the 2 games when he was out proved that. I would prefer to see him passing more but the fact is that they dont have great shooters or great finishers inside (and please dont start the Snaq thing, we've been there to).
Point, Amare said that and its nice to hear Kobe getting props from fellow players but its only one persons opinion. Duncan and KG are both more complete players than Kobe but #8 is the best scorer in the league.
