How can Kobe be better than Kareem? It's fucking impossible. Not on defense, not in scoring. Not in winning, not in efficiency. Not in longevity, not in peak to peak. Where?
I would not put Durant over Kobe, BUT I would take Steph over Kobe.
Mike, Lebron, Kareem and Russell are just different animals, just a different echelon for different reasons and different eras.
Who in the hell is taking Kobe over Magic? Who is taking Kobe over Wilt? The shit is getting insane. Rest in peace to the dead though.
