Wrong. LeBron would dominate Magic.

Magic wasn’t a scorer
Can’t play 1 on 1
Yes Bron would kill him 1 on 1
But in terms of their impact on their teams in their specific eras, it’s a good debate. Pretty close imo

If we’re keeping it real, I’m not sure Steph has passed Kobe
And no one hates Kobe more than I do
Kobe is in the top 11-15 goat range and Curry is probably behind him

And then he went on to have the greatest 2nd half in playoff history.

I hate Kobe.
Like frfr sports hate.
He's better and had a better career than Steph

Kobe had a 15 year stretch that not many have come close to. Year 3 to Year 17. Longevity and consistency was his differentiator imo
Need to see how Steph does over the next 5 or so years

Kobe has 8 more All-NBA 1st teams than him and 2 more rings and 2 more fmvps, 1 more scoring champ, and a bunch of defensive accolades.
Steph had 1 more mvp
I doubt Steph ever passes Kobe.
I’d be really hard.
Steph already 31

It's only been rivaled by Bron, Timmy and Kareem from that standpoint.MJ and Magic just didn't play long enough at their primes.

Nah. After he gets his 4th, he's top 10.

Not sure where he ends up all-time but this Finals is lowkey critical to Steph’s legacy. Not sure what the Warriors look like going forward and the narrative will be him going 3-2 in the Finals with the two losses being because “he got clamped up by KLove in the final possession of Game 7 in 2016” and “he didn’t step up like an all-time great would when his teammates got hurt and he had to shoulder the load”
You really hate to see it.

All of those lists have Bron over Magic. The ESPN list has Oscar Robertson ahead of Kobe when Kobe has more accolades, you can't even stick by your own criteria

I made all those lists?
I’m just showing you that it’s widely regarded that Kobe is in fact NOT top 10
Not just in my opinion.
But by professional sports journalists who work for highly respected publications
Personally I have Magic a hair over Lebron, but Lebron might catch him
They are in the same tier
But also it’s a longshot that Steph ever passes Kobe.

What is the general consensus on Steph not winning the 2015 FMVP? Man averaged 26/5/6 with 1.8 steals on 44/39/89 splits to Iggy’s 16/5/4 with 1.3 steals on 52/40/35 splits. I mean, I can appreciate the defensive effort on Bron but he still averaged 36/13/9 . That one’s a lil fishy IMO
