What else can Kobe do?

Many people are now saying Kevin Durant is better than Kobe. Kobe just won a title, finals mvp, and has hit 6 game winning shots. The general idea is that Durant is better and him avg more points is part proof and that kobe is only more successful because he's on a better team. What they don't aknowledge is that Durant avgs more points because Kobe's on a better team and has to share the ball. And Kobe is still not far from the scoring title. Plus Kobe gets labeled a ball hog and a non assist guy. Durant avgs 2 assts. Lol. Wow. I know America wants LeBron to be the face of the nba but dammmnnn this is a new low even for them. Even you laker haters have to agree.

Update:

@klebron2 or whatever your name is, how is a 6'6 sg who plays with basically three 7 footers going to avg more rebounds than guys who are 6'9 forwards? Kobe still avgs 5 rebs and plus 5 assts. I would take 27, 5, and 5 over 28, 2, and 7 any day of the week.

    Hey Kayd0924,

    I totally agree man. Durant has only been in the NBA for

    a few years now, and no where near as good as Kobe.

    ( I'm not saying Durant's a bad player, he is doing really

    well in the NBA right now, for all you Thunder fans)

    And yeah that is true, Kevin might be averaging

    more points than Kobe, but Kobe is on a team with

    a lot of good players (Gasol, Bynum, Artest...)

    And that is what makes the Lakers the Best in the West

    and the 2009 NBA Champs.

    You made some great points there and I totally agree.

    I agree i mean i love kobe and i know he doesn't get a whole lot of assist but all the games i hardly ever see durant get a assist or pass the ball. Plus kobe has been injured 3 times so i bet if he only missed 2 games and had the same injury like durant he could be challenging those two (Lebron and Durant). But He will prove he is better When they win

    Edit: he takes the shots to score the ponts his team needs him to, i know he wouldn't have taken those many shot had he been healthy.2008 and 2009. K lebron stop riding lebrons ****

    Durant is not supposed to get too many assists, he is a true small forward, plus he has a great PG on his team in Westbrook. Kobe has Fisher, who is a good leader, but he isn't a passing PG. Also going by their advanced stats this year Durant is in fact better than Kobe. Kobe however is a greater player than Durant for all that he has achieved, such as the Finals victory and MVP. Thus a non bias fan would say Durant is a better player than Kobe, but Kobe is the greater(more significant historically) player.

    If Kobe was on the Thunder instead of Durant, you would see why people say that. The Thunder would struggle just to get the 8th seed in the west.

    Kobe only got as far as he is today because he had LOTS of help (and I mean LOTS).

    As for buzzer beaters, if you're the best player in the NBA, you would get the work done earlier in the game. You wouldn't let the game get to a point where you have to jack up a last second desperation shot.

    The only thing Kobe can do is score. Durant can score and rebound.

    Lebron James can score, rebound, assist, steal, and block.

  • Eric you forgot to mention LBJ has 2 mvps now. Oh and if Kobe and Durant switched places Kobe would easily average over 30points a game.. He just has a better team. For Effin sake the lakers do not even need Kobe to score 30 anymore to secure a win.

    One day, Kevin Durant will be better than Lebron at the time. One day he will even be better than kobe at the time. But the big thing to remember right now is...

    Kevin Durant: 0 Rings

    Lebron James: 0 Rings (hahahahahaha)

    Kobe Bryant: 4 Rings, Finals MVP, Regular season MVP

    which means: Kobe Bryant is the best player now, this year, this decade, and of ALL TIME!!!!

    Kobe is definately better than Durant, Durant is still pretty young and getting better but IMO he is kinda useless if he doesnt shoot the ball. He cant defend for **** or be a playmaker...yet

    PS: Kobe does play on a better team but he leagues the league in shot attempts, just sayin

    Durant scores more because his team needs him to score more. Kobe is still the top player in the nba and will be for at least 1 more season, Lebron is catching up to him as he gets older.

    I agree with the people who said Kevin Durant is better then Kobe Bryant.

  • Kobe can play NBA2K10 with Derrick Rose
