How is Kobe the best all time...?

I'm sorry, your terribly incorrect about the way you see Kobe as the best player ever. There is not a single thing kobe did better than jordan, not a single statistic that was better. Most are not even close. Jordan was miles beyond kobe in absolutely every single conceivable way. Simple as that. It's mind boggling how you could just brush aside the other all time greats, too, and just place kobe on the throne. I am just at a loss for words. I'm sure this article will help you understand:

You are delusional if you think Kobe is even top 10 all time. He played in an era with no hand checking and Jordan is better in every statistic. You know nothing about basketball. Kobe has been hyped up by the media and has had the leagues highest payroll. To consider him GOAT is crazy. Top 10 is pushing it

Good you too are entitled to your opinion, i respect and welcome it, even as i think it's based on emotion and what the "experts" tell you as opposed
to rationale. Thanks.

Welcome to the sport of basketball Adeyemi. It's a wonderful sport with a rich history and many generations of great players. The fact that you think Kobe is the best player of all time is a nice thing. It makes you a fan. It unfortunately doesn't make you educated and thorough in your rational.

When the greatest players that have ever played the game say that Jordan is the best...what do you know that they don't?

Larry Bird once said, "that's just God pretending to be Michael Jordan."

And with the whole Lebron vs Kobe debate, how can he be the best of all time when there is a substantial debate that he's not necessarily the best playing right now. You're argument is predicated that skill is more important than rings or statistics, if that's the case than you open the door for Lebron to be talked about.

Look, I'm glad he gets you this worked up but there is no way on God's green earth that Kobe is better than Jordan, Kareem, Wilt or Russell.

As somebody who had the privilege of seeing both Kobe and Jordan play live, there was a distinct difference in the maturity level and the multifaceted capabilities that Jordan possessed.

And the final point I would like to make...

The most important facet of a great player...

He makes everybody on his team better. And there is no player in the history of the game that is more widely touted for doing that than Jordan. Whereas, up until recently the major slight to Kobe's game was that he was selfish.

But again, welcome to Basketball Adeyemi. It's an incredible sport, and there are many really great books that will educate you on the past of the sport and increase your enjoyment of it's present.
