And the 81 point game was brought on by the absolute futility of the Raptors’ defense and the fact that the coach (Sam Mitchell) didn’t have a clue what he was doing. I would know, I watched that Raptors team play just about every game that year. They then used the #1 pick on Andrea Bargnani in the off-season.

I am not an irrational Kobe fan like others but to say he is over rated is silly. He was a 5x NBA Champ (5-1), 2x Finals MVP, League MVP, 12x All Defensive Team, 4th in career scoring and won the scoring title multiple times.
Is Kobe a Top 5 player of all Time? No but he is probably 10-15 and he is not better than Lebron or MJ.
cmon man lol
