In the NBA, there's LeBron, Kobe, Durant, and everyone else

and ... shows a glaring lack of knowledge of their stats/efficiency

Not sure how Kobe's a "chucker" when Jordan averaged more shots per game when compared to Kobe.

Also, every all-time great scorer must shoot the ball in order to score. And shoot the ball often too.

Jordan had a great career FG% and in my eyes, the greatest basketball player I've ever seen. I will never consider Kobe greater than Jordan although Kobe's the closest thing I've seen to Jordan, since Jordan himself.

One thing about Kobe and Jordan? Kobe's greatness has lasted LONGER than Jordan's greatness lasted.

Jordan over Kobe all day. Heck, Jordan over any player that's ever lived to play the game. But to consider Kobe a "chucker" is very clueless. Anyone with any knowledge of the game of basketball understands Kobe's one of the greatest scorers/players of all-time.

Every person with a brain knows that Kobe is a chucker. How do you think his coach(es) felt/feel?

And, number of shots has nothing to do with it. You get that right?

Before last year I would've taken Kobe but Lebron proved that he can put the Heat on his back and carry them. Even without Bosh and Wade's knees being shot. I give Kobe credit for winning 2 rings late in his career with Gasol who is good but not great.

Both guys pale in comparison to Jordan though

I think you have to compare Kobe to Jordan and Oscar Robertson in which Jordan & Oscar win hands down

and Lebron to Magic which Lebron wins

their efficiency numbers or on different planets. And, Gasol was GREAT those years and that team was stacked.

Ummm... Scottie Pippen was a MUCH greater basketball player when compared to Gasol...

You watch him play and while he can be a chucker at times he is a true competitor and winner. I love Melo but when was the last time you saw Melo take a charge? Has Melo or anyone on this knicks roster for that matter ever shown the will to win like Kobe has for his whole career. He plays through injuries and pain and his tenacity is unphased. we need a player willing to do those things, better yet we need Melo to really step up and be the leader of this team. I though Kidd would be the guy to take that burden off Melo for the next year or two but he isnt a 25% of what he was or what we thought we were getting.

Kobe is a freaking psycho..are you kidding me, comparing anyone to Kobe??? Love Melo buy guys like Kobe aren't normal. Normal guys don't stay so damn fit all year long. Normal guys aren't as competitive as psycho's like Kobe and MJ. Of course we all wish our players would have the same mentality but, it is and he (kobe) is a rare breed.
