No because Butler defends well, can rebound, can pass and makes his shots

@Faceless and Nameless bro Kobe has most missed shots in NBA history. What’s crazy is he came off the bench for fist 2 seasons. Dude was a terrible shooter, always shot his team out the game and very selfish

Kobe, with this Heat team, would have been swept in the 1st Round.

That would make up a Super NBA Finals for the ages, 3rd Finals matchup for the two franchises, Jimmy’s defense/mid range shooting vs Luka’s offense, deep range shooting…
Both players are big guards, relish the moment & trash talking galore!!

Jimmy’s mentally is the closest to Kobe i have ever seen!! Kobe has a far more superior player though, no disrespect to Butler. I love watching Jimmy, he’s crazy good!

It’s funny cuz Kobe never did this before. Kobe only won with stacked teams. Never won without another star. Game 7 7-27 never forget when Ron Artest saved him.

funny how Booker and Tatum always has Kobe’s name hanging by their mouths but Jimmy is the only one that actually stacks up

Kyrie is by far easily the closest thing to Kobe and he might be even more clutch. He’s slightly a better shooter, and definitely a better 3 point shooter than Bryant

Kobe would average 40 in this era, but no one want to talk about it. No disrespect to himmy, when I see the midrange tough shots I see the comparison and I appreciate the conversation

Kobe is greater but at no point of his career did Kobe have a raising performance team wise like Jimmy has this year.

Jay Williams hit the nail on the head you can’t compare nobody to Kobe in this era it’s disrespectful
