Griffey had better form than Bonds. Bonds had a quicker release.

I don’t care if you’re a LeBron fan or not but this is getting ridiculous people lying on this man they say Kobe is more clutch LeBron has more game-winners than Kobe and is more efficient the only reason people consider Kobe more clutch is cuz he always took the last shot no matter if he made it or missed it and people like that instead of LeBron who would pass to an open teammate or someone with the good look instead of forcing the shot all the time

lechock is trash. lmao he went to finals in TRASH east who had 0 super star and lechock stacked his team with three prime all stars which was more help than any greats. still has losing record. if kobe had wade and bosh/love and kyrie he’s not going 3-6 in the shitty east and finals. kobe won with a bum ankle in the finals. lmao 5>>>>>>>>3 kobe had better 16th season and will have better 17th season, because lechock is lazy trash who can’t make playoffs in the west. HAHAHAHAHAHA lechock can’t carry shit. all he does is stat padding sitting in the corner masturbating with his stats. hahahahaha

All the players who actually know about basketball choose Kobe over Lebron only you casual fans who probably don’t even watch the games but only google the box score after choose Lebron funny how these dudes think they are somehow a credible source of knowledge when they were never even in the league, that’s like asking asking someone who works at McDonald’s about physics instead of an actual physicist

I knew Bomani would talk some sense cuz he’s never bought the “Kobe is a Top 5 ever” propaganda.
Kobe is overrated based off playing in LA. Put him in CLE & he isn’t on everyone’s mind like LeBron was for 11 years. Kobe would’ve disappeared in a small market. And that rape case wouldn’t have been settled as quickly if he wasn’t protected by Hollywood.
People bash LeBron for a lot but give Kobe & Jordan passes for not helping the Black community, for cooning, for procreating with women that aren’t black (which means their money & resources won’t end up in the black community when they’re gone), gambling, etc…
LeBron has done nothing wrong. Kobe & Jordan however have done plenty of shit of wrong especially to Black people.
Muhammad Ali is the GOAT because of what he stood for outside the ring. His ex wife famously said LeBron would be invited to “the summit” but Kobe & Jordan wouldn’t get in invite. You can’t be a GOAT in the black community & not be pro-black. Not gonna happen.

Game on the line, Kobe’s got the ball, opposing team is frightened, but with Lebron? Not so much.

Oh look, more idiots talking bollocks.
Kobe’s 5 titles, 2 of them single handedly would argue otherwise.
You CANNOT use stats in this argument otherwise Wilt is the GOAT by a mile.
Jordan, Kobe, Russell, Kareem, Magic, Wilt, Lebron. In that order

The disrespect for Kobe is insane. Bomani comparing this debate to a Bonds vs Griffey debate is disengenous. I get the “era” comparison, but the more apt comparison would be between Aaron and Mays, both top five all-time with one (Mays) having a slight edge over the other (Aaron). Bomani and the other guy are making branding arguments to critique Pippen’s remarks as if ESPN is not invested in propping up LBJ through it’s business dealings with him. GTFOH.
