You might not hear that on TV TODAY because of how the Lakers are playing, but don't act like there isn't a significant push to make Kobe's legacy some all time shit.

The ESPN rewriting of Kobe's career has led a significant portion of the population to think it's Mike then Kobe. And that it's real REAL close, cuz you know 6 is only 1 more than 5. *Then* there's a big gap and then you have everyone else. Bullshit.

To establish how overrated someone is you have the numerator, how good the player actually is, and the denominator, how they are generally rated. Kobe is a great player, but his denominator is fucking huge. That's why he's the most overrated of all time.

The level of overrating that took place in 2008 alone has him as a first ballot overrated HOFer.
