Ok for all the celtic fans who thinks kobe is overatted name me a player better than him?
yes I can


MJ,larry bird,magic!!!!


because they were the best to ever play the sport-Kobe is good but he's definitely not a Jordan
Reply:I ain't a Celtics fan but I do say Kobe is overrated. People say he's better than MJ, heck he isn't even a top 10 player of all time. He's in the top 30 I believe, but not on MJ's level.











Alright this name might be familiar to Lakers fans








Shaquille Oneal








- Led the Lakers to their 3-peat.





- Only player I can name that has never been consistantly completely stifled in a game besides Michael Jordan. (In his prime.)





- 4 championships to Kobe's 3





- A top 50 player of all time





- A top 10 player of all time





- 3 Finals MVP awards





- Top 5 scoring average of all time








Tim Dunacn








- 3 Finals MVP Awards to Kobe's 0





- 2 Time Regular Season MVP Awards to Kobe's 1





- 4 time NBA champion





- Best PF ever. Only comparisons would be Karl Malone and Barkely, but the rings put him over the top.











I got a few more.








All Time:








Larry Bird





- 3x NBA champion





- 3x NBA Regular Season MVP





- 2x NBA Finals MVP





- VERY clutch player here's a list of games








In Game 7 of the 1981 Eastern Conference finals against the rival Philadelphia 76ers, The Sixers led all game. Inside the final minute, Boston and Philadelphia were tied 89–89 when Bird sank a fast-break mid-range pull-up bank shot with his left hand, a very difficult shot to execute under intense pressure. That basket put the Celtics up 91-89. The Sixers had a chance to win the game, but threw away the lob inbounds pass intended for Julius Erving. The Celtics' 91-90 win put them into the NBA finals for the first time since 1976 and they would go on to win the NBA championship in the Finals, beating the Houston Rockets in 6 games. In the late stages of the game, Bird also had two key steals, two free throws made, a rebound, and a blocked shot.


In 1985 (January 27th), Larry Bird hit an amazing baseline jumper at the buzzer while falling out of bounds to give the Celtics a 128-127 win over Portland.








In the series-clinching Game 6 of the 1986 Finals, Bird recorded a triple-double of 29 points, 11 rebounds and 12 assists.








In Game 5 of the 1987 Eastern Conference Finals against the Detroit Pistons, with six seconds remaining in the fourth quarter and Boston trailing the Pistons 107–106, Bird stole an inbound pass from Isiah Thomas that was intended for Bill Laimbeer. Falling out of bounds, Bird turned and passed the ball to teammate Dennis Johnson, who was cutting to the basket and converted a 2-point layup with less than a second left. The Pistons called a timeout but had no chance of getting off a shot. The dramatic play saved the series for the Celtics who won in 7 games, and they advanced to the Finals.








In a game in Washington against the Bullets in 1987, the Celtics trailed the Bullets by 3 points with 6 seconds remaining in regulation. A three-pointer by Bird had been waved off because their coach, K. C. Jones, had already called a timeout. Bird then made another three-pointer to send the game into overtime. When the Celtics trailed by two points near the end of the first overtime, Bird was fouled and converted both free throws. In the second overtime, trailing by 1 point with 2 seconds remaining, Bird made a buzzer-beating running shot to win the game, 140–139.


In Game 7 of the 1988 Eastern Conference semifinals against the Atlanta Hawks, Bird shot 9 of 10 from the floor in the fourth quarter, scoring 20 points in that quarter and lifting the Celtics to a series-clinching victory over Atlanta. This effort foiled a 47 point performance by Dominique Wilkins in the same game.








On March 31, 1991, the Celtics played a double overtime game with the Chicago Bulls in their last meeting of the season. In the second overtime period, Bird scored 9 points on 4 of 5 shooting from the field and helped the Celtics beat the Bulls, 135–132. Many called this particular game Bird's finest performance against Michael Jordan.








In the last seconds of a nationally-televised regular season game with the Portland Trail Blazers in March 1992, Bird sent the game into overtime with an off balance running one-handed three-point shot. Bird tallied 49 points, 14 rebounds, 12 assists and 4 steals for his 59th and final career triple-double in what many fans called his last great game in the NBA. The Celtics won in double overtime over the Blazers, 152–148. Bird's 49 points stands as the NBA record for most points scored while registering a triple-double.


Michael Jordan, who may have followed Bird as the league's most feared clutch player through his heroics with the Chicago Bulls, once was asked who he would want to take a shot with the game on the line, other than himself. Before the question could be finished, Jordan quickly responded, "Larry Bird."

Reply:Kobe is the only player that can even be talked about on the same level as Jordan. Labron has a couple more years and needs to win some championships before he can be talked about as the be. I don't think Kobe is overrated its just..... he is kinda of looked at like the Spurs team you love to hate him.
Reply:Jordan, Wilt, Russell, Kareem, Magic, Olajuwon, Shaq. I'll put Kobe in the top 10 when his career is over but he has to win the title first. I mean his own title not the ones he got riding Shaq's coat tails. Because those guys played complete games. You never saw Shaq going 7 for 23 in a big game, it just didn't happen, those guys made everyone better. Kobe looked great tonight. That was like Jordan except Jodan was like that every time though.
Reply:Jordan. Michael Jordan. Wilt Chamberlain. Michael Jordan. Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Michael Jordan. Magic Johnson. Michael Jordan.





Did I mention Michael Jordan?
Reply:Now: Tim Duncan, LeBron James, Chris Paul, Allen Iverson, and Dwight Howard.





All time: Every player in the NBA 50 greatest list.
Reply:Kobe ain't overrated but the team was.
Reply:Ya Lebron cause he actually has balls!!!!
Reply:ever hear about a guy named Jordan?
