While McGrady wasn't better than Kobe, he was pretty damn close in his heyday.

I agree with that but its not career wise, at all. ring or no rings for kobe.

Tmac was godly for like a season or two. Right there with Kobe. Even better for 1 year but thats it.

Agreed, those Kobe-Tracy matchups were can't miss TV. 
 
2001: Kobe-28.5 ppg, 5.9 rpg, 5.0 apg/ T-Mac- 26.8 ppg, 7.5 rpg, 4.0 apg

2002: Kobe- 25.2 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 5.5 apg/ T-Mac-25.6 ppg, 7.9 rpg, 5.3 apg

2003: Kobe-30.0 ppg, 6.9 rpg, 5.9 apg/ T-Mac-32.1 ppg, 6.5 rpg, 5.5 apg

Not seeing better, were they on the same level offensively, perhaps, but one was an All world defender at the time as well so I'll give the nod to Bean.
 
Allen was inefficient. But so was Kobe and Tmac during the time as well. Maybe not as much, but they were. To his credit, Allen got much more efficient as his career went on, especially in like 05, 06, 07.

Wade's rings place him above AI although allen's prime was a bit longer than Wade's.

Allen in 05-06 :x :x
 
Kobe Bryant's Muse is on Showtime tomorrow.

With all the marketing surrounding it, it better not let me down like the documentary Spike Lee did on Kobe a few years back.

Uh AI shot above 43% only 3 times in his career. Once while in Philly. Kobe and Mac were not THAT inefficient consistently.

Efficiency isn't just field goal percentage man and I dont have the data in front of me, but AI definitely got more effiicent in like 05-07

Kobe and Bean lol.

Kobe's been my favorite player for as long as I remember. That doesn't take away from anything T-Mac and A.I. contributed to the league though.

Give props where it's due. Iverson was under 6'0". For someone that small to do what he did took a lot of heart, bad FG% and all.

He shot 45% those two seasons the usage numbers x effective FG% do not back up your claim, he's romanticized as a chucker like no one before or sense because of his off the court influence.
