Which also attracts attention away from the Tim>>>>Kobe argument

In a vacuum it's already Jordan/Bron best all time as far as basketball players go.


The last bastion of hope for Kobe fans as they cling to his nuthairs is that the number of rings are absolute. That they matter above all.

They don't. Context does.

Lebron was better coming out of high school, better in his prime, and will be better in his twilight years regardless of how many rings he has or doesn't have.

That's why Horry is not cracking anybody's top 50 even though he has 7 rings.
