Finally, I've been watching First Take for years waiting for them to ask this question. This is the first time this has been brought up on ESPN I think.
-
Bro Iβm so tired of this debate every day πππ
-
What a unique topic of discussion. Truly original segment. Very impressed.

βHeβs the best player in the game is just that simple. There nothing that Kobe Bryant canβt do. He will defend your best player, he will shoot from the perimeter, he will get all in your mug. He is the most complete basketball player in the game today, bar none. He has a assassin mentality. β β STEPHEN A. SMITH There are many RECENT players (who have played against Lebron and Kobe) who are taking Kobe over LeBron. Come on ESPN and First Take its hard to re-write history, when there are videos. Im not saying that Kobe is the G.O.A.T but the notation that NO ONE not even their own on air personality has NEVER made G.O.A.T comparisons or put Kobe over LeBron at some point, is flat out wrong and blasphemous
-
Here we go again ππ€¦π½ββοΈ
-
Trevor Ariza was saying that Kobe is his favourite player but Jordan is the GOAT. Whatβs so hard to understand about that
-
I would say in the early 2000s Kobe got cheated out of at least 2 Mvps
-
All these nba players been saying Kobe. The disrespect is crazy smh
-
I got Kobe over Lebron
-
The Kobe disrespect is CRAZY
-
Jordan was 9 times all defensive first at the same time as scoring champ. That really shows how much of a beast he was on both ends. Also steals champ at the same time as scoring champ. Something that never gets mentioned. Jordan is top 5 in both totals and per game averages in both scoring and steals. Some players maybe both for one stat but not 2. Jordan took it to another level in the finals especially the first 3. 91-- average 11.4 assists per game highest for anyone not Magic. 92 - - average an impressive 42% for 3s and in game 1 shot six 3s in a half which was a record for 18 years until Ray Allen the only person to shoot more in a half 93-- average 41 points per game highest ever.

Itβs funny because before Lebron won his 3rd championship in 2016, Shannon didnβt even bring his name up it was always Kobe vs Jordan
-
Anyone else remember a few years back when Shannon had this question asked on Undisputed and he said Kareem? π€£π€£

Iβm a LBJ fan, but I acknowledge MJ as the GOAT. LBJ will be all time in missed shots, TOs, and final losses. MJ was the far better scorer, defender, leader, competitor, and winner.
-
MJ has a better PER, offensive net rating, defensive net rating, box plus minus, win shares per 48min, 2 more championships, 2 more finals MVPS, 1 more regular season MVP, 10x scoring champ, 9x 1st team defense, 1x defensive player of the year. All around better.
-
Kobe is my GOAT, doesn't have to be everyone else's and it really is that simple. Shame on Tim Leger tho, saying he never heard anyone say Kobe is hella crazy, someone should call him out for that one.
-
Jordan is the goat hands down!!!!!!
-
Kobe disrespect is crazy
-
Not even close, it's not even a question. They won't let it rest. For me was/is and always be MJ-π
-
Thereβs no debate. 6-0 in finals vs 4-10. So we giving participation awards now? SMH.
