once I saw high at an airport, I asked for an autograph (I know, what was I thinking), he looked surprised but said okay, and then his wife came in and was like, we need to go, now. And he just left..... whipppeeddd

Kobe's Career salary ---= well over $100 million (too lazy to go find numbers)
Ammos' Career Salary --- less than $20 million

Kobe's Rings ---- 5
Ammo ------ 2

Kobe has All NBA recognition, MVP's (All Star, Finals, Regular Season), legendary career stats
Ammo doesn't have all that

Kobe has endorsements
Ammo doesn't

Kobe is loved by China
Ammo is not

Kobe is considered to be one of the best ever to play the game
Ammo was considered to be Larry Bird Lite once ERRONEOUSLY

You can say Kobe worked his butt off, but come on, it's just basketball and he loves playing.


In the end , Kobe's career is better. Just saying.



That's quite the bold stance you're taking there, Ryu, to assert that Kobe Bryant is superior to Adam Morrison. Would you be willing to say that to Ammo's face?

Dear MasterRyu,

Your application to be the lead negotiator for the NBA Player's Association in the upcoming talks to formulate a new collective bargaining agreement has been respectfully declined.

O doubt it, he doesn't look like he would have an entourage. Even if he has money I doubt anyone would still hang around this guy.

Lol, your sarcasm aside, I wasn't asserting that he was superior---lol. Of course he is.! i was just simply pointing the fact at the OP's assertion that AMMO having the best career is wrong. SUre he makes a lot of money, but if you're in the Pros, you wanna play. And his salary is chump change to the top players in the league. They're playing Basektball. what they love doing. and they're making way more than ammo, while being famous for it. Even Gilbert Arenas'
career is better than Ammo's

Nah, I don't want to be lead negotiator. I'll let Derek FIsher handle that.

Still Kobe's career is better than Ammo's no matter how you slice it.

The Kobe argument is invalid. I don't care how much you love the game. Being on the road as often as they are, playing on major holidays, the long hours that training/practice take, and the toll the game takes on your body make it work. Morrison had to work far, far less than Kobe did. Sure he hasn't accomplished even a small fraction of what Kobe has or made as much money. But he'll probably leave the league with his body in great shape and with a lot more money than all the posters here will make in a lifetime.

Just because Kobe had more points in one game than Morrison has had in his career does not mean he had a better career.

Lol. the green is killing me.

Holidays

Playing on major holidays don't mean anything. They're making millions in exchange for it. I'd do it in a heartbeat. When you're that rich you can delegate every weekend to be a holiday if you want.

Practice

You're telling me that Ammo doesn't practice the same amount of time as everyone? You're still doing drills whether you're a bench or a star. Granted, the star player may voluntarily invest in extra practice, but that's their choice.

Travel

Bench players travel too

MOney

YUp KObe makes much more.


Leaving in great shape?

They're athletes; they're in great shape regardless. Sure the more mileage on those legs the more wear and tear, but that's relatively trivial. ONce they're done with the NBA they can still engage in recreational sports---golf--weekend baskebtall---poker. Come on, Kobe is much more conditioned than Ammo and will be so when he retires.

Sure the money's nice, but I'm sure he would have rather not ended up as a joke of a player.
