I'd take DeRozan instead of street clothes Kobe

I'd take Wesley Matthews over both. Klay Thompson and Lance Stevenson too. Maybe Bradley Beal. Of course Ginobelli is better than the post injury Kobe as well.

lolol....
I guess I would take Thompson right now. No one else from your list. Your funny Chuck, Im a Kobe hater but pre injury he was 27 a game. About a month back when I said Wade is right with Kobe as far as an all timer you jumped on me. Even though Wade is around 26 a game for his career.

Kobe looked finished last I saw him. No legs. He is old and coming off a major injury and has a million miles on his legs already.

You do realize that there is more to the game than just points right?
Kobe is the 2nd best SG though you could easily make the case that Jerry West could be 2nd. Wade is 4th especially if he is going to be a 75% player from now on.

Those guys are all better players than Kobe right now until proven differently.

You asking me if I realize there is more to basketball then just points? Your boy plays no defense and does nothing else even well, other then score. He just had 62 points with 0 assists. Its impossible.

What does Anthony have to do with this conversation? You realize that only idiots would dwell on the fact that a guy with 62 points had zero assists right? That in order to get an assist your teammates have to make a basket when you pass it to them?

I am hardly the worlds biggest Carmelo Anthony fan and am well aware of his positives, negatives, strengths and limitations. I'm not 100% convinced that they would be better off starting over from scratch. But this ridiculous notion that he isnt one of the ten best players in the world or "cant win" is misguided at best and asinine at worst.

Carmelo Anthony defending the post is like Bill Russell compared to Harden defending pretty much anything.

Any kid who is considering a stint with Calipari/UK ought to think long and hard about the repercussions of that decision.

I don’t think its ridiculous at all saying Melo isn’t a top 10 player. Not at all. And he has won nothing in the NBA, so Im not sure why you continuing make this bad argument. Ill name 10 that are better than him today.

Lebron
Durant
Westbrook
Curry
Harden
Howard
Paul
Griffin
Aldridge
George
Love
That’s 11 that I take no questions asked.
Ill name a few more who are borderline.

Davis
Cousins
Irving
Lillard
Wall
Lee
Parsons
Hayward
Clearly Im saying all things considered. Age, money etc….
