Gotta be click bait anytime Kobe is equated to the other 2

You can love Lebron, without trying to dump on Derrick White and Jordan. Somehow if you like one GOAT, you gotta hate the other, trying to create an argument.

The best way for that would be to stop putting one of those 3 names in that category despite the fact that there’s is absolutely NO argument for it

Still cannot believe Shannon at near 60 was doing bdsm race play with a white 19 year old and paid her \(20m but set a \)30k limit on his daughters wedding. My god that was wild.

Tell that to Shannon.

It’s funny as hell he’s saying this but he’s one of the main contributors to why the media talks the way it does about bron Kobe and MJ

I mean, yeah. It’s always been the other way around in my experience though and I’m like how have people still not figured this out. I grew out of this catty shit as a teenager lol.

And people saying “who puts Kobe there?” Do y’all not talk to people in real life? Kobe has always been in discussion among his fans. Found out my front desk man is a Kobe guy just the other day having this conversation with him.

Something happen in the last year or so that made Shannon identify with Kobe more?

these are some of the most reddit-coded comments smh

the convo is about bron and legacy and somehow all these dudes can focus on is kobe being mentioned

I’m no Kobe fan but you can always tell when people don’t interact with people in real life when it comes to NBA. Plenty of people have Kobe in their goat conversation. I don’t agree but the way people here always dismiss that is just hilarious and revealing.

Kobe is not even close to the other 2.

at this point it’s less about basketball and more about winning arguments online 💀 all three—Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James—had insane careers.

Lebron being the most hated player is what makes people dump on Kobe and Jordan so much

Aight, not really related to his point, but it annoys me when people talk about there being more than one GOAT. The whole point of it is that it’s the greatest of all time. That can’t really apply to multiple people, and that goes for any sport as well

who invited bean to these convos

Kobe isn’t even in the same conversation.

What happened to your LarryLegend account OP? Got banned?

They keep trying to insert Kobe into these conversations. 

Feels like this applies to Kobe, LeBron and Jordan fans. Each of these groups is super sensitive about their guy.

Don’t see it as much with the Curry, Duncan etc. types.

For some reason I read the title as Kareem not Kobe, because my brain just filled in the correct guy who should be mentioned third in GOAT discussions

Pouring honey on you king

I first realized this when the last dance was airing. LeBron started getting a shit ton of hate around that time because… a Jordan documentary that had nothing to do with him was aired? 

I think what people need to remember about these GOAT debates is… Your opinion it doesn’t matter. It’s purely subjective takes, on a subject we can never definitively prove. It was fun when it was just a conversation you and your friends had in a good faith debate around the court.

Now it’s filled with people who don’t know the game, people who only look at the stats, people who don’t watch enough games (old or new), people who come in with an agenda never having a chance to have their mind changed just wanting to argue a specific point, people who don’t think for themselves and just listen to nba talking heads, and worse.

As I’ve said many times, if you like your player then like them no need to put others down. If you think your GOAT is the right call, that’s nice, you’re wrong, because none of them play the exact same way so it’s apples to oranges.

Just chill, enjoy the game, talk about what’s stopping you from enjoying the game (to a reasonable level), and touch grass at your local park before going to play some basketball.

Tribes upon tribes upon tribes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9hBbjoHz1A

I’ll celebrate them all in their amazing and unique excellence.

At a certain point I’m convinced a lot of the GOAT chatter I see online is just bots at this point or simply evidence that the people who want to litigate this day after day don’t actually watch basketball outside of major holidays. And if you are arguing from morning till night that Lebron is trash just anoint yourself a fan and spare us the daily rant.

ppl act like if Kobe somehow didnt win just 1 more title he wouldn’t be undisputed top 3 no matter what. But he won 5 so now he’s out of the top 10 😂😂 lil bros just don’t know ball. 

Kobe is a rapist

He’s been saying this exact same thing to Skip Bayless for more than 10 years

That’s an Interesting comment from Sharpe given that those screaming so-called sports journalists are the ones who started that stupid debate and others. The people on social media are really just emulating their behavior.

Actually good life lesson: Comparison is the thief of joy.

That’s what annoys me the most about this debate. LeBron is my GOAT, but I have all the respect in the world for MJ. I watched him play and he was awesome! But when I talk to MJ guys they be like, “LeBron ain’t in my top 10.” And I’m like, “Fuck off”. 

GOAT discussions are fucking stupid.

LeBron is the absolute longevity GOAT though, no shoulda/woulda/coulda involved.

Agreed, but Shannon needs to practice what he preaches. He’s one of the chief offenders in terms of media guys who talk about LeBron/Jordan in terms of “your guy vs my guy”

Buddy tried to sneak kobe into goat convo

Sports media after building, stoking, and beating this debate to death:

Kobe shouldn’t even be in this conversation. 

Kobe a legend, he not in the convo for GOAT with Jordan and Lebron but he is definitely underplayed in the metrics era when people watch box scores more than games

MJ the goat. Bron is a very good player.

Everyone has their own opinion. But I’m in the sports card world big time. In that world - it’s Jordan 1, and Kobe 2.

Online “talking” it’s LeBron. With money being spent, it’s Jordan and Kobe.

Sharpe took time away from choking out his sidepieces to start commenting again?

I mean absolutely and same the other way around.

Kobe and MJ are both basketball greats. Top 15 all timers a make a great conversation comparing 2 volume scoring guys with one coming into the league right as the other one was on his way out. They definitely were among the best if not the best of their time at their peaks.

That being said neither is as good as Bron to me, and that’s why Bron is the goat.

Michael Jordan was the GOAT until he got caught touching a little boy, now he’s not the GOAT anymore 

Release the Jordan files
