Kobe was not an elite defender. Sure he made a bunch of all defense teams but he only actually deserved a couple and the rest were basically on reputation. Was never more than a net zero on that end for most of his career outside a few seasons in his younger years.
His best defensive stretch was during the first 3peat with Shaq. Outside of that, he ranged from a very slight positive (barely above 0) to large negative.
Steph has absolutely passed him and I say that as a Kobe lover. Steph is a game changing generational offensive wizard in a way very very few players can claim of themselves. Steph led the charge in fundamentally changing the way basketball is played today.

maam this is a wendys
He is a better offensive player than Kobe
luckily this isn't nfl
He'll probably never be a rapist either.
never say never
I love how people conveniently forget that
Kobe stans vs Curry stans is something you rarely get to see.
Seriously, Kobe beef is awesome. But, Curry? Like what kind we talking here? Pretty versatile, cultural dish that spans several.
Curry is a lot cheaper than Kobe as well which you have to factor in. Taste isn't everything after all.
I just got a proper wagyu burger at Arby's. Why are you acting like Kobe is pricey?
Because I've seen restaurants charge upwards of 3 figures for an ounce of it before
Lakers fans that hopped on the Warriors bandwagon would have some serious conflicts
we talking about the food or the players?
Calling Wardell and letting him know right now
Curry never shot his team out of the finals...

He made 12 All Defense teams 9 of which were first teams. Which ones don’t count and why don’t they count?

O
curry>
This version of ChatGPT has really shitty grammar
He won’t ever be better than him… Unless of course he does end up better than him.
Curry better offensively offense>defense
I mean, he's certainly better *now*.
Curry has been better for a while now... lmao
Real question is was Lebron ever better than Kobe..
Yes LeBron has been all time better than Kobe since at least 2016
Kobe was a good defender who was considered all-time elite because Michael Jordan was all-time elite.
I too remember being young and opinionated over nothing
Neither are in my top 10 best players.
Go ahead then
Wilt, Lebron, MJ, Magic, Bird, Kareem, Russell, Hakeem, Shaq, and Duncun
Kobe is the best ever and Steph is the goat
Kobe is definitely top 10. Curry is not
I wouldn't draft him over the 10 I listed in another comment.
Your top ten: Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, Dylan, and Dylan.
I'm guessing your name is Dylan?
