Message: [QUOTE="Mr. French, post: 3550629, member: 2292"] RIP to Kobe, but he's been overrated for his entire career. And that's not an exaggeration. I genuinely feel that. He was always a great scorer and tried so hard to mimic that Jordanesque (everything, but in particular) killer instinct, but he's just not as good as his fans think. I see people on twitter genuinely calling him the 3rd best player of all time. He was an all-star within a couple years of entering the league when he had done nothing, all on rep. I am not saying he's BAD, obviously, this post may come off as harsh, but I've never, since day 1, thought he was as good as his hype and general love he got as a player. He's a top 15 no question, top 10 I can listen to a debate but I'd probably have him just outside of 10. [/QUOTE]
