I am curious to see what this sub thinks about this matchup. Usually, espn and other media sites put their names in the same tier in 7-10 range.

Who do you think is better between the two players? What about greater?

Bird have 3 Straight MVPs. Kobe only have 1 MVP.

Bird have 3 rings with 2 FMVP. Kobe have 5 rings with 2 FMVP.

But as for skills.

Kobe is the better scorer and defender. He also have the better work ethic. Bird is the better Shooter, Rebounder, and way better Passer.

But overall, who do you think is better and/or greater?

Bird is mad overrated, just look at how he plays, hella unathletic and played against far less talented and athetic players compared to Kobe.

Sooo you gonna back that up with….well any sort of evidence? How’s someone “hella unathletic” gonna drop 40+ with their non-dominant hand? 🤡-ass take right here.
