Nah you have to say 2006-2010 was his era

Especially 2008-2010

Nah 08 the lebron era officially began

Kobe proceeds to win 2 finals and gets to three. In the "LeBron era" then huh?

 

[black migo]

influence to who?

teams that would get one half decent scorer and have him chuck up 30 shots per game?


i wouldnt take iverson top 5 if i was building a team in "the iverson era"

We arent talking about the better player, we are talking pop culture, ai had everybody wearing braids, getting tatts, wearing jerseys to games etc

 

[shoeking2101]

ai had a bigger influence during his time than kobe did

This is 100% accurate

Nope we was on LBJ by then. How dare you say 06-2010 was Kobe? You mean the same 06 when he lost first round? You mean 07 when he lost in the first round? You mean 08 when he stole the MVP from Chris Paul? You mean 09 when we was STILL on Lebron? You mean 2010 when Pau bailed him out in the finals when Bryant shot 6 for 24 from the field in a GAME 7?

Thats right.... We was in the Lebron Era and we still is.

2006-2010 I guess you could say was Kobe's era. Even then though, Lebron was heavy during this time period. A.I. was still heavy until 07'.

That's what I mean by it was never definitive.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

There was no Kobe era, there was no period of time where Kobe was indisputably the best player.

Maybe to you but no

Kobe during that period....3 NBA Finals appearances, 2 NBA Finals MVPs, 1 NBA MVP and a leading the USA to an Olympic Gold Medal

Nah Kobe was too busy trying to rebuild his Image. Face it, we admire Kobe for his basketball skills and competitve nature... the majority see him as a douche(Kboe is cool in my book though)

for the entire 2000s the lakers and spurs ran the league, like its not even close

Maybe in Canada, but AI was the FACE OF THE NBA. Ain't nobody talking bout rings.

i couldnt care less that iverson got kids dressing like *******s, that has nothing to do with basketball

 

[black migo]

Since 09 lebron been the face of the nba

LOL he was sharking on people in basketball too. What is you missing fella? AI was better than Kobe from 98-2006.. then AI was slowing down and Kobe had a brief moment being great, but LEbron is the best player in the entire world and has been for a while

 

[shoeking2101]

Huh? How does the Lakers and Spurs success have anything to do with Kobe having a definitive era ?

 

[urbetterthenme]

Hell I'd take Mcgrady over Kobe during the  2000s. Only differance was Kobe took more shots and played a Robin role. Shaq was Batman... Kobe was Robin.... when Shaq left Kobe wasn't good enough to be Batman yet so he became Nightwing

 

[ballinsam23]

There was no Kobe era, there was no period of time where Kobe was indisputably the best player.

The year he won MVP he was clearly the best player in the league.

 

[shoeking2101]

Well even in Basketball terms, his reach was incredible. He was definitely the face the NBA during the early 2000's. Every kid wanted to be him and play like him.

In Before "A.I. destroyed the game and popularized shoot first 5'10 basketball players"

 

[shoeking2101]

The year he won MVP he was clearly the best player in the league.

Hell nah. Chris Paul and Lebron were better

?

kobe and duncan were by far the best players over the span of the decade, team success and individual accomplishments

 

[kal-el-8]

Idiots.. idiots everywhere.

 

[urbetterthenme]

I like this Lebron Era

 

[ballinsam23]

The year he won MVP he was clearly the best player in the league.

Hell nah. Chris Paul and Lebron were better

I could give 0 ***** about Chris Paul. Dude was never the best player in the league.

That was the year Lebron turned the corner. He wasnt the best yet.

 

[mister friendly]

So wait Dirk was the best player in the league but when he won the MVP even though his team loses in the first round vs a 8 seed but Kobe isn't the best player when he earns the MVP and leads his team to the NBA Finals?

What the &@##

in the decade kobe, tmac, wade and lebron all had better seasons that iverson's best season

sure kids could relate to him because of his height but that has nothing to do with what he did in the nba in comparison to his peers
