January 8, 201610 yr It was never Kobe's job to make those around him better. You're a coach. Do you want your PG to make the players on your team better or do you want your SG to make players on your team better? Michael Jordan didn't make players on his team better. Do you consider MJ the greatest of all time? Magic proved he he could win without Kareem just like Kobe proved he could win without Shaq. Why would Kareem be a better Laker than Kobe or Magic? Kareem ain't winning titles in LA without Magic and Shaq ain't winning titles in LA without Kobe. Don't you bring MJ up in a Kobe sucks thread . Don't you do it.
January 8, 201610 yr This thread has worn me out all week. At least 50 times, I've wanted to reply with "Cave Run".
January 8, 201610 yr I'm struggling to give a 100% answer. It's a great question and like many have said you could make a great case for anyone. Most were before my time so I'm bias to the younger players. I'm going Kobe.
January 14, 201610 yr I just went through the thread for the first time this evening and am shocked that Kurt Rambis is getting no love here? Not even one mention? Love the Airplane references!!! My vote is for Magic...was a C's fan in the 80's and he broke my heart multiple times (I still remember the hook over McHale to win a Final's game...ugh). Respect Kobe A LOT but I give the edge to Magic...he and Bird literally saved the NBA when they came along...
