1- Well the obvious, since Jordans been retired for years. 2-Adidas BYY Farrrr. Nikes fishnet kobes are well, for the fish. peace ya’ll
1. Well, there are man obvious reasons why Kobe is the best in the league. First of all the man dropped 81 POINTS! Regardless of the fact it was against the Raptors.. ITS STILL 81 POINTS. The Lakers were down that game, and suffering a losing streak against the Raps, Kobe starting scoring, and snapped the Lakers losing streak against the Raps. And this season, he’s been able to bring the Lakers to the top spot in the West, a feat which isn’t very easy to do, especially this season when teams are ranked around a 3-10 game difference. Kobe also has the ability to score at will, when Kobe wants the ball, he’s able to make amazing plays and drop mad points. He also gives some of the best defenders in the league trouble in guarding him, not that they can’t play d, but just cause Kobe is too good. And oh yea… HE JUMPED OVER A CAR AND A POOL OF SNAKES!(I know it was fake.)
2. I like Kobe’s Adidas line better simply because of the Crazy 8, but he’s had some pretty horrible shoes with Adidas like the KB1 and the KB2, the ones that look like boxes..UGLY. But his line with Nike has provided some of the best oncourt ball shoes for today.
im gonna keep it short and simple becuase im sure that Greg Street is gonna wanna read a novel from every person
1. i think that Kobe is not THE best player in the NBA, but is definatley one of the greatest of his time. just like MJ was in his time. my freinds and i ofter argue weather or not kobe is better than mj and it mostley end with kobe being better during his time span and mj during his.
2. im gonna be completely honest, both of’em suck. i think the best ones are the hurrache’s, but even still those would be the shoes i’d wear on a rainy day so i dont fuck up my good kicks.
just bein honest
1) I do believe he is the best player in the NBA as of today. He has great offensive skills that can be contained by no man woman or superhero. He’s defense is overlooked as well. Another trait he posses is the ability to make people around him better as he draws double and sometimes triple teams, which leave killer shooters like Fisher and Vujatic open. He also posses a newly found talent of his, teamwork which in my opinion is the only reason, besides his stellar solo play why they are in the finals.
2) I personally like the Nike line a little more than I do the Adidas line. To me the Adidas shoes like the Kobe and The Kobe Two were just too bulky and heavy as all hell. Although I own one pair of the Kobe II’s to date. As for the Adidas KBIII 2000 and the Adidas KB8 I Original, I liked these better because they had more style and were just an altogether better looking kick. And as far as the Nike Kobe line, the Nike Air Zoom Kobe I, Nike Zoom Kobe II 2 ST, and the Nike Zoom Kobe III 3 are all pretty comparable to the Adidas line in style but, there superior technology on the court far out weighs there appearance. Honestly I enjoy both on the court and would take either off the court or into your local spot turnin heads.
1.)Kobe is the best player in the nba right now…not best player ever by any means!!! (WE ALL KNOW ITS MIKE) As of now Kobe is the best, he needs to work on his defense and how be a better leader.
2.) Kobe’s adidas’ sneakers were better than the nikes. They looked like space shoes but the nikes look average almost like a team shoe. Kobe is suppost to be the best player in the league why would nike give lebron a better shoe? In either case the adiadas where better because of that. Plus I think the Crazy 8′s were F-ing sick!!!
1.) kobe is without a doubt the best player in the NBA right now. I don’t want to hear any different. He is the main reason the lakers are even in the finals right now and will be the reason that they win. If he wasn’t the best why would people chant MVP at his games. Even those that don’t pay to close attention to basketball will most likely know that he is the best player in the league right now.
2.)Kobe’s shoes with nike are so much better. Nothing against adidas, but the shoes they put out for him were just god awful in my opinion. The only alright shoe they put out for him was the crazy 8′s and they were nothing to special. The Kobe 2′s with nike are insane. It has such a simple design, lightweight and there’re nice. I could go on and on talking about every shoe released with his name on them but i figured i’d keep it pretty short for you.
Peace.
To Sidewayz – Yea kobe scored 81 but the more kobe scores the less everyone else scores, all that does is pad his stats not win games. Theres 5 out there, ya know. peace yall & good luck. Hope everythings groovy G-Roc
1) I think that Kobe is hands down the best player in the NBA. Kobe is a proven winner and has that rare ability to be able to impose his will in clutch situations which has made him very success full. Not only is he virtually unstoppable he has now embraced the necessary role of making others around him better which is why the Lakers are currently contending for a NBA championship.
2)When thinking of Kobe’s adidas sneakers i just think different. The KB8I (now known as the crazy 8s)The KB8II, the EQT elevation (kinda were Kobe’s), the KBIII, the KOBE, and the KOBETWO were all extremely different. When Kobe wore those sneakers there were not many things similar to them on the court. Though his nike sneakers so far have also proven to be pretty different, especially one of his most recent the Nike Zoom Kobe III, they just do not seem to be good enough for the BEST PLAYER in the game!!! I think that is so being that his rep took a big hit a few years back but the fact that he even has his shoe today and has replenished his rep to what it is now is amazing and just speaks volumes for just how great he is. So as much of a nike fan as I am I will say that the adidas line was better just based on the fact that they were so much more creative and different. I think Kobe is the greatest and I hope Nike will do better for the BEST PLAYER in the game!
1)
Kobe is the best player in the league. He’s the best player because he won the MVP award this year. Other than the fact that he won the MVP award, he also scored 81 points in a game in a year that he was clearly robbed for the MVP award by steve nash. HeNobody in the NBA has the total package like Kobe. Kobe’s package consists of many things, such as:
1)Defense: Kobe has been on the all-defensive team for many years
2)Scoring: All I have to say about this is 81 points!!
3)CLutch shots: Kobe has made lots of clutch shots like the on in Phoenix a couple of years back(He also dunked on steve nash very badly in that series)
this is why kobe is the best player in the NBA now!
2)Kobe’s nike collection is not better than the adidas collection. first reason is because of the crazy eights! the crazy eights are better then any of kobe’s nike sneakers point blank! Kobe’s nike collection is just strictly for use on the court not outside but the adidas sneakers can be worn at alot of times. this is why i think the kobe nike collection is not better than the adidas collection!
is the comment i left my submission?
1. Kobe Bryant will never be the Greatest Player in the Game. Let’s just get that out there, right now. Let’s just lay that out on the table and have at it, because this is the pivotal point to my argument. And for those of you out there who think so…Kobe will never be better than Jordan. He is not and will never be HALF of the player Jordan was. There was nothing you could do when it came to Michael…you could not shut Mike down…he would hit if and when he wanted to and even if he missed…he was one of the best defensive players in the league, he would shut YOU down, take your lunch money, bang your sister, then score the basket AND ONE, for good measure. In just 12 years, Kobe has averaged 30 points per game only 3 times and averaged around 5 assists. In 12 years, Jordan averaged 30 points per game 7 times and around 6 assists. I will say both are/were equally terrific guard rebounders, but 6 NBA titles don’t lie. And as sweet as 3 were for Kobe…he shared them with a 7-foot Hall of Famer who took the MVP trophies. Jordan took every trophy that came his way…it shows his sheer dominance in the sport he loved and played so dearly.
Now, this is not a “Kobe v.s. Jordan” argument, so I will refrain anymore from that point. I will shift my focus to Kobe v.s. the NBA. Name the top five basketball players, in no particular order, playing in the league today–think hard…………….
Okay, most of you probably will have said a couple common names: Tim Duncan, Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Kevin Garnett, LeBron James, and of course, Kobe Bryant. Allow us to take any one of those and compare them to Mr. Bryant for a moment….
Chris Paul v.s. Kobe Bryant / Let’s not kid ourselves! Chris Paul has turned more heads, racked up more rep, and made more of an impact in his first few seasons in the NBA than any rookie in recent memory. He turns the ball over only 4.8 percent every time he has possession of the ball. Insane! He is considered by many to be the next great point guard and has led the Hornets back from obscurity and almost to a Western Conference Finals. Kobe never has or will step foot to those numbers and bitched about no help for seasons before he finally got Pau Gasol…keep in mind this Kobe and Lakers team is still the same pissed-off, bitching and whining little girl who couldn’t get that favorite toy…the only difference is now their Daddy brought them a nice Spanish ice cream treat to hold them over.
We won’t even get into LeBron, who has put up more points, rebounds, assists, steals, and blocks then any half-a-dozen season pro at his position. He has led his team into the playoffs almost every year since he’s been drafted and even led them to a Finals trip with no more help around him than Kobe has had since Shaq left. And, there is a difference….he doesn’t bitch. He never gets in trouble and doesn’t publicize his problems with anything/anyone if he has any.
I hate beating a dead horse and maybe my argument should’ve been more fact-based, but this is an opinion-based Yard for the most part, anyway. So, have at me and say what you will, but I truly believe Kobe is nothing more than one of the greatest SCORERS of all time and a fading poster boy for the NBA who are trying to give him one last rodeo. However, to say Kobe qualifies as one of the greatest PLAYERS of all time and THE greatest in the game today…I think is an overstatement and one that needs to be reviewed once they have watched what LeBron, Paul, Duncan, and Nash do every night on the court.
KB24–his game will never be above MJ23.
2. Kobe’s Nike’s are above and beyond anything that adidas ever came out with period. I say this with confidence, for two simple reasons, they are hotter on and off court.
When it comes to aesthetics, they were trash. I could kiss my chances goodbye of getting with any girls by simply wearing a pair of those shoes out one night. Bulky, heavy and poor design innovation made these unattractive. Performance wise, the only thing they have over the Nike’s is their ankle support.
Kobe’s Nike line accels in aesthetics. The colorways are simple and go with each other very nicely. The use of the Laker colors is blended perfectly. They also trump the adidas’s in design. Both have a stealthy, airy look to them. The use of the webbing in the II’s only helps beautify the shoe even more. On court, the Nikes are light, have good heel support, comfy lining and a soft sole. Without a shadow of a doubt, the Nikes win.
Kobe is the overall best player in the NBA. The best teammate is another story. In terms of skillset – footwork, speed, confidence, defensive mentality, shooting ability, competitiveness – he’s got the whole package. Other players in the NBA have glaring weaknesses.
Lebron – footwork, Nash – defensive mentality, KG – shooting ability – just to name a few.
2. It’s hard to compare the two in technology because Nike has an edge in updated technology. Adidas will always have an edge in aesthetic design and retro appeal even if the Kobe II was bulky, creased like no other – the sunshine colorway is still a favorite. The Nike Kobe line took a major hit in aesthetic pleasure with the 3, but is slim, lightweight, and great for indoor play. I liked the Kobe for outdoor play, but it too was a little bulky for my tastes. So, in terms of design, I’ll have to go with Adidas. Back then the crazy eights were great for outdoor ballin. Performance you can give the edge to Nike. Since I’m just talking about visual appeal – I’ll go with Adidas.
Kobe bryant is by far the best player in the NBA today. no one else in the game as of right now posses his drive his determination and his fierce emotions and atitude along with natural god given talent that he definately took advatage of and put to GREAT use. not only is he a great basketball player but he is incredibly fun to watch he has got the basics and the skill and the control of an elite athlete along with the grace the style and boldness of an entertainer. kobe bryant scores at will fi his team loses its because he wanted to share or his team was not getting the job done i apologize if i sound like a kobe jock rider but i am not (i definately want the celtics to win the ship) its just you cannot deny the fact that when sports broadcasters say kobe had a bad night or kobe was shut down he still had 30 points. what other NBA player can say that they had a bad night or were shut down and still had 30 points. and for anythoughts about lebron james being anywhere near as skilled a player as kobe i ask you to think of a one on one game between the two jus think about an think hard compare what you have seen kobe do an what you have seen lebron do. kobe game 11 lebron six MAYBEY
with the kobe’s by nike and adidas i would have to say it is hard to truly compare the two on a general level the nike line was based more on creating an elite basketball shoe (much like how the jordan brand became after the 15′s) while the adidas line was based on looks and like david yang said “retro apeal” (jordan brand 1-15) however i am going to have to go with the nike line since i consider kobe sneakers to be more about being a good baskerball shoe rather than a sneaker that you match with and “making” its wearers to “play like” kobe.
p.s. those top ten 2000′s are dope!! gotta have em
1. Currently, yes hands
down he’s the best player
in the NBA . There may be
players that are better
than him in 1 or 2 aspects
me the game, but he’s the
only player that can put
all the aspects together so
well at such a high level.
2. Being young (16) i was
around when his adidas
line was out but i don’t
really remember it but
from all the models i have
seen i would still
personally go with his nike
line. Even though both
brands had their flops, i
just like his nike line
better.
Simply tell us do you think Kobe Bryant is the best player in the NBA?
NO, hands down Kobe is not the best player in the NBA. I’m so sick and tired of hearing that Kobe is the best player on the planet from the ABC Announcers during the broadcast of the NBA Finals. I will give him credit for being a great offensive scorer and he does play defense when he decides to, but this is the NBA finals why is the so called best player since Jordan guarding Rajon Rondo at least Paul Pierce took the challenge of guarding Kobe. The best player in the NBA wouldn’t let a 24-point lead slip away and all but take away his championship dreams. He wouldn’t wine and cry foul about wanting to be traded during the height of the biggest stage of the NBA Finals last year. Kobe didn’t take this team to the finals this year it was the addition of Paul Gasol that really improved the direction that the team was heading in. If the Lakers would of stay the same after Andrew Bynum injury the team would not have made it to this point.
So as we all watch Mr. Bryant the guy that wanted the Lakers team all too him-self melt down on the biggest stay of his career since Shaq departure. He is still the same old dry humor guy that gets pissed, yell, scream, and curse at his teammates when things aren’t going his way. What a waste of a MVP trophy to give to a guy because he had never won one and was overdue. All because he decided that the secret formula was to pass the ball a little more and at least try to socialize more with his team; it took him that long to figure that out. So what’s next from the GREAT Kobe would it be a trade this year after being down 3-1 or will he finally say they ran into a better team if they aren’t able pull it out.
Do you like Kobe’s Adidas line or Nike line better, and WHY?
I personally don’t like either line but if I had to pick one it would be the past Adidas line who knows how good it could have been after he caught his case. As far as the Nike line goes his shoes look like a long boat bowl with a Nike sign attached. I personally don’t have any Kobe in my collection and don’t plan on buying any.
