So where he isn't a top 10 scorer there is no way he could be titled as the best player in the game. It's not like defense wins games. I think I get it.. I mean that sounds pretty fair to me.

I just think it's crap he's over looked when he is a titan in the league. No he can't shoot, but honestly who can do anything with him if he has the ball in the paint? Noone. Has he been shutdown in the paint before as of late? Have you seen it happen? No. With that being said has Kobe ever been guarded and shutdown? Yes.

IMO, the only way Howard or Lebron or gonna get the respect they deserve in the league are to actually win some championships.. All the rest doesn't matter.

Kobe could shoot for 0-20.. win another championship.. and would still be labeled as the best in the game today.. Which isn't fair to the other superstars in the league.

Great players that lead there teams to championships defines greatness.
