I could never say that about KG. Even though he is a great player. In some way even in his prime he is Joakim Noah with a jump shot and a little better post game. Outside of that they have the exact same skill set.

Be honest, if someone hadn't made that thread about Walt Frazier, you wouldn't even care, but someone had the audacity to suggest someone could actually be an all time great, and not have played in the 60s-70s, and now you hate Paul because of it.

saying Kobe was just the "other" significant contributing factor is a being a bit harsh on Kobe...

Players that have been compared to kobe have been fading away. D-wade, soon LeBron... and now cp3.

No, Kobe's the closest thing to #23 that this league's seen since his retirement.
