Dumbest shit that can be found online.

That’s saying something in this election year!

Dumbest shit is thinking people can't see thru you guys bourgeoisie bullshit. Showing grace and deference to Kobe for marrying white. There is no basketball argument that can be made for Kobe over Steph anymore.

Longevity is overrated. If a player is better than anyone else ever will be at 27, nothing an inferior player does to compile stats in his 40s can ever make him better than that 27 year old. The skills outweigh the stats. Being very good for a long time is not equivalent to being the GOAT at your peak.
To reduce it to merely being "better longer" is both simplistic and dishonest. Further, we arent talking about extremes such as GOAT vs very good... We are talking all time greats who have near unprecedented peaks while maintaining competitive play and relevance. Steph has maintained a level of greatness and longevity that simply outweigh anything that Kobe was able to maintain and accomplish. The fact that you have to ignore the actual players at issue and create nameless examples of 27 year olds vs 40 year olds kinda speaks for itself. Its a diversion tactic to avoid the obvious outcome with the two individuals being discussed. We have the actual careers of both players and in ANY accolade where offensive efficiency is highly weighted, Steph flat out beats Bean. Sorry.
Kobe played his last playoff game at age 32. He shot below 40% from the field in his age 37 season.
Never shot above 50% in any season. Never shot over 40% from 3 in any season.
:itsawrap:

Can Mike Tyson become the GOAT if he has an unprecedented run for his age in his 60s?

Mike could have walked away in the early 90s and his GOAT case would have been what it was. Beating or losing to Holyfield in the late 90s is irrelevant. He could have never gotten out of jail and his peak greatness would have been unalters.

It isn't a diversion to say Kobe could have walked away at 27 and been the GOAT. It is honing in on what GOAT means. It isn't about who compiles stats the longest. Steph has already reached his peak and he is not there now so everything he adds to his legacy from here on out will matter as far as assessing his career but it won't matter with regard to assessing him at his greatest against the other greats.

Somebody taught you a new word and you are really showing it off. You heard it and played with it a couple of times a few years ago but that shit popped up on your Word of the Day calendar recently and you are determined to master that shit this time.

Another red herring and patently idiotic analogy.

Again..."We are talking all time greats who have near unprecedented peaks while maintaining competitive play and relevance".

Not a diversion. Just supremely stupid and untrue.

Despite another excellent analogy, you still fail to grasp that "maintaining competitive play and relevance" long after your actual peak has nothing to do with one's greatness at his actual peak. If Steph is not a top 5 player in the league right now, he can continue to add to his legacy with important achievements but being relevant and competitive is not even in the ballpark of what got him into the GOAT conversation. It isn't in the conversation with his unanimous MVP era.

Being able to marry Vanessa Bryant is the only reason Kobe is put on a pedestal. He is OVERRATED as a basketball player. If Kobe doesn't have that proximity to whiteness, you, Day Carver, and Bills wouldn't be so willing to lie for him and pretend he's better than Steph. Bron didn't marry a white bitch, so he doesn't get that bourgeoisie respect from you. Your white ass don't know who E. Franklin Frazier is. :lol:

You dummies really believe young people can't see thru you dudes overrating Oreos and uncle toms that wished they were white and really believe they're gonna act like you and give them credit for shit they didn't do too. :smh:

They don’t need Giannis but he’s just about the only player worth fucking up what they have going.

They dodged a bullet with the Utah GM overvaluing Lari.
