Allright it's all been said: Kobe did an absolutely fuckin' incredible job. He really did. Dude went the tee-total fuck off. No doubt about it. One of the best performances in sports history.
BUT
I agree with other comments that have been made as well. To me, the measure of a truly legendary athlete is being a "winner". Case in point: Tom Brady. He is just flat-out a winner. Give me a winner over a Kobe Bryant any day. Seriously. I honestly am not trying to deteriorate his accomplishment, but the guy has GOT to prove that he can win championships. I'm not saying that he can't, I'm just saying that until he does, then he honestly does not belong on the same list as Wilt, MJ, etc. He just doesn't. Not YET.
Also, the fact that David Robinson only scored ten less than this 12 years ago has only been mentioned once, in passing, throughout the course of this thread. How many people really remembered that? I did, because I'm a huge Spurs fan, but my point is that, while it is one HELL of an accomplishment, it does NOT qualify him as one of the Absolute Best Ever. It just doesn't.
Again, not YET.
