Woodman: Is Kobe a franchise player?

Yes he is.. he got 3 rings and they're in the playoffs.. I don't like Kobe but you gotta respect his game..
He is a superstar.. Lebron is probably the only guard /forward thats better than Kobe..

there is no guard on the planet better than Kobe at this point and for the next couple years.

Within two years, a microscope will be required to assess the difference between Kobe and LeBron. After two years, LeBron will pass him.

Silverfuel, WOODMANnYk. Let's not forget that the Lakers owe Horry a big thank you for two of those rings. Remember two key games, Horry hit two huge' shots that broke the other teams backs, in two different seasons. So if the Lakers didn't win those two games because of Shaq & Kobe on the same team, then I'd say it is quesionable wether Kobe is a franchise player or not.
