Go figure...

for him to say that after the lakers beat his team in the finals is pretty cool...Now thats Larry, Jordan, and Magic who think Kobe is the best lol

“I watch all the teams and what they did for LeBron, and [the Heat] still have to go through the Lakers with Kobe Bryant out there, who’s been my favorite player for a long time,’’ said Pacers president Larry Bird. “And I don’t think whatever they do in the East is really going to concern him that much.

uhh who cares tho, I mean really. Not trying to be mean lol.

Bird is class.

Who would have though 3 years ago during the trade demands etc. that it wouldn't be long till some of the greatest players the game has ever seen would be publicly calling Kobe the current greatest and their favorite.

As a Kobe fan it's great to see that he's proved the doubters wrong, you know he's got to take great pleasure in hearing things like this from legends.

If kobe gets to 7 rings which is very possible, let the debates start that he is the greatest PLAYER of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!! If he gets to 7 who could disagree.

If Derrick Fisher gets 7 rings, does that mean he is the second best player of all time ?

Horry says hi!

kobe is the best player from 2000-2010, Jordan was the best player from 1990-1999 and magic was the best player from 1980-1989 (arguably of course). Greatest of all time is an argument that will never be won.

Magic always flip flops between him and LeBron.

Props to Larry.

Bird "likes" winners and guys that take games by the throat, whick Kobe is. I doubt it's a personal like.
