Any Laker fans here?

Question

Who'd a better player at their best, kobe or kareem?

Answer 1

kobe

Answer 2

Kobe! Because he markets better!!!

Answer 3

since '87.. you can't really compare a center to a guard, enough said. 2 different positions.

Answer 4

Kareem, when he was with the Lakers he was over the hill...in his prime with Magic...he would be way better than Kobe.....CLOSE THIS QUESTION.....lol

Answer 5

Kobe all the way.. best in the world.

Answer 6

You Mean Cow-be Fans

He Won't Be Better Than Kareem

(Yet People Compare Him To MJ) If Shaq Stayed He Would've Had A Better Career But Kobe Is Brat So He Has Only Gotten An MVP Title So Far Shaq Already Won The Finals Since Then Means He Doesn't Need Kobe

L.A. - Shaq = No Rings

L.A. - Kobe = No Fake Fans

Answer 7

more successful Kareem Better Kobe who would I have taking the last shot Kobe who would I pick in a fantasy draft Kareem

Answer 8

I am a Lakers fan, I don't think Kobe is a Top Five Laker of all time. Kareem is better.

Answer 9

I think they are both great players in their own right and we should respect that no disrespect to the person that asked this question but kobe is a great player as was kareem.

Answer 10

about 75% of people here are...I am part of the other 25%

Answer 11

kareem man the leading scorer of all time dang I can't expect kobe to end his career with 38,000 points in his whole career.

Answer 12

Both seem to have their similarity, Kareem needed Oscar Robertson / Magic Johnson to take him to the next level while Kobe, admit it or not  needed Shaq / Pau to reach the Finals.

Although it's tough comparing a center against a guard, the statistics will completely be lopsided in Kareem's favor where he already won 4 MVPs before reaching the age of 29 (he had 6 for a career). When Kareem entered the league, he was already a seasoned veteran of the sport after playing for UCLA for three years and compiling a record of 88 wins and 2 losses only. Compare those to a raw Kobe Bryant who entered the league at 18 that's a complete landslide.

As for the statistics, Kareem's  20 year career would definitely dim Kobe's achievements simply because Kobe have only played 12 so far. It would be biased to compare them now... Maybe after Kobe retires can we have a clearer picture of who was the better player.

Hope this helps.
