I am curious to see what this sub thinks about this matchup. Usually, espn and other media sites put their names in the same tier in 7-10 range.
Who do you think is better between the two players? What about greater?
Bird have 3 Straight MVPs. Kobe only have 1 MVP.
Bird have 3 rings with 2 FMVP. Kobe have 5 rings with 2 FMVP.
But as for skills.
Kobe is the better scorer and defender. He also have the better work ethic. Bird is the better Shooter, Rebounder, and way better Passer.
But overall, who do you think is better and/or greater?
Longevity suddenly doesn’t matter in this sub when Kobe is brought up
I don’t care for reddit opinions either way but the fact that a 1 word answer like kobe gets down voted to not even showing is disrespect. I hate the Kobe slander but it’s the easiest name to slander in basketball of all the legends, once ESPN started Kobe bashing about 8 years ago to boost LeBron then fans jumped right along with it. ESPN didn’t even put Kobe top 10 TIL AFTER HE DIED 😂
Daily reminder that he’s 4th in total points and would have almost 100% passed Kareem if he didn’t snap his Achilles.
