Prime Kobe is so much better than Lebron, it's not even funny. Along with Jordan, the most complete player the game has ever seen.

He's all about winning and basketball; he's never "happy" to just live his life, his relentless pursuit of perfection is unparalleled.

What Kobe does is so amazing because he isn't the biggest, fastest, or most athletic. He's an elite athlete, but he doesn't completely outclass his defenders like LeBron does and Jordan did. Kobe beats people because he puts in the time and the work to improve every aspect of his game.

i have to disagree, at kobe's prime i think he was just about the best athlete in the game, his in game dunks show cased it. and young kobe had as good a first step as anybody ever.

Kobe's arguably the best in-game dunker to ever play. Just ridiculous and crazy dunks and body control.



I can't fathom the day Kobe hangs them up. I'll probably need to take days off from work to get myself together.

you ever see how high dwade gets up? you see that bad lob lbj thru to dwade in these finals and he still caught it?



kobe's speed when he first came in was probably the fastest of any guard in the game. his quicks were on par with all sg's and some pg's. but as he aged and other guys came into their own. you realized there are other hyper athletes just like him, that are as fast or so close you cant tell who's slower. as quick, and can jump as high/as quickly.

Who ever was arguing that Kobe is the best IN GAME dunker of alltime is very wrong. Vince Carter plays in the NBA.

While the techniques themselves may be teachable, are they all practical for the average player of average strength, size, and coordination?



Please wake me up when 6'7, 38" vertical, 7-foot wingspan, son of former athlete + NBA player is teachable, because that's the world I want to live in.

Prime Kobe was just ridiculous.



However, IMO the best Kobe in terms just efficiency, maturity, overall skills was in the beginning of last season (i.e oct, nov of 2009) before the injuries piled up. I get the feeling we are going to see that Kobe again next season.

Agreed. We have seen two Kobes. The mature team-oriented Kobe that we saw last year (actually, I liked the Kobe of the previous year when we had Ariza and they all went out to dinner and he bought them all watches, etc).



But even though our team sucked in 2005-2006 ... man, that was an amazing year numbers wise for Kobe.



In Jan 2006, his worst game was a 27 pt game. The point totals for him that month were....



48, 50, 45, 41, 27, 38, 37, 51, 37, 81, 30, 39, 40



I find it really hard to believe we will ever see an offensive force like Kobe Bryant again.
