This is a Wemby tread. Just a suggestion 😀 I consider Kobe tied to the Spurs as his main nemesis. It's also true I'm a Kobe fan, but I don't like talking to Lakers fans. I understand that doesn't matter to most people in Texas. Edited 4 hours ago by harveycmd Quote
harveycmd Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago (edited) By the way, AI says Kobe is better than any athlete who ever played for Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, Notre Dame, Oklahoma. They say Roger Clemens and Earl Campbell from Texas are questionable. I don't agree, but it's at least close. Edited 2 hours ago by harveycmd Quote
harveycmd Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Kobe Bryant's performance in May and June 2001, particularly during the NBA playoffs and Finals, is widely regarded as his ascension to the best player in the world. The 2001 Los Angeles Lakers would likely defeat the 2018 Golden State Warriors in a seven-game series due to their historical postseason dominance (15-1) and the lack of any viable defensive matchup for prime Shaquille O'Neal.

harveycmd Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago Kobe Bryant from 2006 would defeat 2017 Stephen Curry in a half-court, one-on-one game. While Stephen Curry remains the greatest shooter in basketball history, the structural design of one-on-one favors Kobe Bryant's overwhelming physical advantages, elite individual isolation defense, and historic mid-post repertoire.

harveycmd Posted 57 minutes ago Posted 57 minutes ago Yes, May 2001 Kobe Bryant would likely defeat May 1985 Michael Jordan in a one-on-one game when they were both 22 years old. Quote
harveycmd Posted 38 minutes ago Posted 38 minutes ago (edited) @mathew Philadelphia does not have a public statue for Kobe because their fans flip the bird to Jesus and Santa Claus, making them the word's worst sports city in the history of civilization. Edited 37 minutes ago by harveycmd Quote
harveycmd Posted 18 minutes ago Posted 18 minutes ago Kobe Bryant’s May 2001 playoff performance was better, more dominant, and vastly more efficient than Victor Wembanyama’s May 2026 run when they were both 22 years old. Quote
harveycmd Posted just now Posted just now Jerry West's 1996 trade for Kobe Bryant is widely considered the greatest trade in NBA history because it transformed a franchise. By trading Vlade Divac to the Hornets for the 13th pick to draft a 17-year-old Bryant, West secured a 20-year superstar,5 championships, and cleared cap space for Shaquille O'Neal. Kobe Bryant’s 1996 pre-draft workout with the Los Angeles Lakers is widely considered the greatest in NBA history. At just 17 years old, Bryant dominated experienced defenders like Michael Cooper in a private session, prompting GM Jerry West to immediately know he was a future superstar. Quote
