This is so laughable that I will not even rebut it; please remember Kobe has more than proved himself.
Typical response when someone has no rebuttal to begin with. Hush & keep the nonsense to yourself. We're talking about the current season, not 3+ years ago.
Kobe is scoring 27 points per game as of today. How is that overrated? Especially for a guy at his age?
The Lakers are overrated right now, but Kobe isn't.
And this is supposed to be proof how? Kobe's doing so well b/c Kobe is the only one
carrying the team when they need to rally together. Have you not watched the last couple games? Have you not paid attention to what craptastic basketball the Lakers bench has played? When Kobe goes into Hero mode, it's hit-or-miss & thank god for Lakers fans, he's been saving them.
Secondly, Kobe always averages those amount of points per games each season & everyone knows why. There's a reason everyone makes fun of Kobe's inability to pass the ball or why this season, Nash was viewed as a valuable asset that would allow Kobe to not have to worry about passing.
That's not why he's overrated, though. It's due to how many Lakers fans
continue to view him as the greatest player on the court. 5+ years ago, he probably was amongst the Top 3 but he's past his prime & doesn't play at the same intensity he used too; that's why he's overrated. I'm not saying that's his fault, age plays hell on athletes. Lakers fans though rarely acknowledge that & believe he's still the same player he was in the past, but he isn't. They hear "past his prime" & take it as insult, when it's not. It's in no way saying he's a bad player, it just means he's not at the level he once was. Hell, Dirk, Garnett, Nash, Kidd, all past their primes in some form or another & can't be stopped. But, Kobe's diehard refuse to believe that he has even peaked in his career yet.
