Old news to RealGM, but I'm glad someone in the media had the balls to go public with this article.

Of course even with this article, many (not all) Kobe fans still don't believe in stats. And their obvious counter argument would be, "Well, Kobe has 5 championships."

Great player and a Top 10 player of all-time. But there are certain things in his game that are grossly magnified.

I once told a Kobe fan that Jesus died on a cross and was resurrected after 3 days. He replied "But Kobe has 5 rings." :blank:

i'm not a kobe fan at all but at least when he won he didn't say "it's about damn time!" like LBJ childlishly said the other night.

You're right, cause when he lost he said "Pau’s got to be more assertive,”.

Let it go, bro. You're reaching. Just let the man have his moment.

It's just funny to me how Kobe fans are completely blind to facts.

you let it go. you bash me for hating lebron then you go and make an entire thread to hate on kobe that's not even Rockets related.

it took dream 10 years to win a title and clyde 12 years. i can't imagine either one of them saying that like it was their god given right to be a champion.

No this is not a matter of hate (though, yes, I do hate on Kobe). Hating on someone is unreasonable, and precludes logical arguments. This is article is factual. It has nothing to do with my bias or any sort of subjective feelings I have toward Kobe. However, you concluding that LeBron childish for acknowledging a feat that has been a long time coming, is quite biased and subjective. Do you see the difference?
