I've been watching ball a long time, and I can name a few point guards who have better handle than kobe, and they don't all have to be all time greats. off the top of my head:<br /><br />1. Tim Hardaway<br />2. Isaiah Thomas<br />3. Pete Maravich<br /><br />of todays kids, chris paul and deron williams make people look stupid with their handle a whole lot more often than kobe. He's going to the hall of fame, but saying his handle is better than any point guard ever is a bit much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133740148593544874.post-31724280869050160392009-06-08T18:38:56.577-07:002009-06-08T18:38:56.577-07:00He already tops Bird on my list for a number of re...He already tops Bird on my list for a number of reasons. Bird won three titles, but one could argue that each of his title-winning squads were more talented (relative to other teams of the 80's) than the 2009 Lakers are. He probably faced tougher out-of-conference competition in the 80's Lakers than Kobe is with the '09 Magic, but Bird was playing with two (three if you count Walton) future hall-of-famers. Also, when it's said and done Bryant will have been not just great, but elite, for a much longer period of time than Bird was. To put things in perspective, Bird isn't even in the top-20 on the all-time scoring list. Kobe will probably finish top-5 by the time he retires. Kobe's a MUCH better individual and team defender, and rivals Bird in passing ability. Bird was clearly a better rebounder and three-point shooter, but those are really the only spots I see him outdoing Bryant. Bird benefits from the fact that he played in what many consider to be the "golden age" of the NBA and had the special bond/rivalry with Magic that will never be duplicated by two NBA players.Walton's Wisdomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07497163381534553584noreply@blogger.com
