Only idiot here is you. Most of your sentences have horrible grammar btw. Go work on that, thanks.
Kobe was obviously more talented and had an insane work ethic. Dude was picked 9th in the draft I believe, so from my assessment, its Kobe's relentless work ethic that got him to where he is today, more than his talent.
So its not fair to compare the two IMO. Randolph obviously comes from a background where he's been around lazy coaches and doesn't have a sense of work ethic.
Work ethic is something that is developed. Humans aren't born with it. Our coaching staff, especially Herb Williams are failing in terms of developing Anthony Randolph. He should be relentless...Kobe type, a gym rat. He should be given goals, and needs to take his career seriously.
I know Randolph has to be responsible, but thats why we have a coaching staff to look after and make sure our guys keep developing to keep our team competitive.
and we don't know what would happen if a 20 year old Kobe was on the Knicks. It has never happen, and never will happen. Its a unrealistic theory so just through it away and start spitting out facts for once.
Your post count is raising, but the amount of times you fonted something insightful and factual has been zero,.
How does that make you feel, "idiot"?
It makes me laugh.. So do you. The sonning continues. Noticed there was no response to my latest truthful posts regarding your insight, and my dominance of you because of it.
It's one thing to have to post info to support points that don't make sense because you don't know the game.. That's you homie. Posting crap info to support your idiotic claim that Melo is Fraud smh. When you spit a point of view that is true and accurate on it's face, which I do ALOT, you feel less of a need to back that sh*t up. People should just know! Real heads like Isayughh, Trills, K Black, Crazy 8's etc. who I consider to have a good feel for the game feel me.
Plus it's not like I "never" support my opinions as you assert. You're actually FOS on this as well.
Having to correct your creative dumbness, a term I coined just for you, w simple, basic basketball points is quite a chore. Nonetheless I've posted stats numerous times in defense of my points in our debates.
No facts, just a lot of crap as usual.
Its not about me agreeing or disagreeing with this, but where is your evidence?
Even when you get to the point of your post where EVIDENCE is mostly needed, you usually just say "its stupid" "its not worth debating". If you know so much, chubby one, why is it so hard for you to post a valid argument?
Heres something to think about.
You said a young Kobe was light years ahead of Randolph OFFENSIVELY. but you provided zero information to back that up. No question Kobe is one of the greatest scorers in the NBA and its history, but looking at the first two seasons, how much better of a scorer and especially "almost better every single way"
Lets examine this.

Kobe was better, yes.
But Randolph could score also. I would put Kobe on another level.
If you would of provided solid info, then you would be taken more seriously here, by me and many others here. Jackass.
Melo isn't going to help us in rebounding or defense.
As far as this Kobe V AR sh*t goes.. If you cant see clearly what Kobe had coming in then I can't help you. Yes he had ups and downs. Yes he shot some airballs. Yes he had difficulty guarding guys down low due to his limited strength. But it is clear to me he was light years ahead of AR as a rook. The numbers do not bely this point. You would have had to see him on the court AND understand what it is you're seeing. Alot of people on here don't do both well. I put YOU- the retarded kid- in that category. Your over reliance on stats like per 36 show that. Fack per 36 min Stats! That statistic is useful to a point, like all statistics. I want to see dudes on the court and make my own judgments, which I tend to do accurately and easily.
Sometimes I'm gonna spit my point of view and if you know what the fack you're talking about, you feel it. Other times I'll post all kinds of evidence to back up what I'm saying. I have to live w you being an idiot. You'll have to live w me intuitively spitting basketball fact and not backing it up at times..
Oh and my grammar is fine fool. Look at you try to talk to me about grammar, smh. Picture that sh*t.. Another failed assessment. I do tend to have a lot of typos though, which I've admitted ad nauseum and tried to make light of.
Really, you need to just stop w me. You get no wins here son. Love how you're just trying to talk basketball now.
Maybe this will shut you're ignorant ass up..Here's a decent scouting report on Kobe coming out of High school:
Kobe Bryant, Lower Merion HS
Name: Kobe Bryant
College: Lower Merion HS
Height: 6'6"
Weight: 192
Position: Shooting Guard
Other Position: Point Guard
Strengths: Maturity, finishing
Weaknesses: 17 years old!, ball handling
STATS
No Stats
POOP (Scout: Jason Sean Fuiman )
I played against and watched Kobe Bryant at Lower Merion and in summer
leagues so I might know a little.
Strengths- Kobe's number one stregth is his maturity.
He is a lot more
mature than a lot of the college players and some NBA players as well.
This is a huge asset because he isn't going into this without thinking
like some people might think.
Extremely intelligent player and student.
Sees the floor very well because of his height and is an excellent
finisher. Knows the game of basketball and what needs to be done to win
(won the state championships without his point guard and top outside
shooter). Is a true leader who often dominated games with triple teams
most of the time.
Can hit from three with accuracy (good %). Fierce
competitor with a lot of determination. Played all 5 positions in high
school so he can also work down low.
Has perfected the turn around
fall-away jumper (Jordan's tradmark) A lot of people think he doesn't
like to lift to bulk up but he'll do whatever it takes to make it in the
league.
Weaknesses- True, he is 17 (close to 18) which is huge but as his dad
said "he's 17 going on 25". Has questionable ballhandling skills (to be
a projected point guard). May not be ready for the rigors of the NBA life
and does not have the body for it right now (although his father, ex-nba
player, will be with him most of the time). Does not have a true
position. Played all 5 in high school and didn't perfect any one of the
five. Is very good at all 5 but not great.
I project him just as everyone else going no lower than 12 or so and I
wouldn't be suprised if he goes much higher. Don't everyone jump on me
at once who read this but I read that the 76ers might be intersted in
keeping him home. He practiced with them in the summer and they loved
him. Even said they would draft him when he came out.
MORE POOP(Scout: Owen P O'Malley)
General Info:
Led his team to the state championship, while
averaging 30 ppg. He's currently 17 years old.
Comments:
Has been compared to Grant Hill, but some scouts
feel he doesn't have the ballhandling and shooting
skills to be an effective guard.
Summary:
He'll likely be a top 20 pick.
Kobe's jumper, bball IQ, and maturity as ROOKIE were all light years ahead of AR three years into the league. So STFU.:smokin: I don't agree w the guy's assessment of Kobe's handle however. The boy's handle was right too. You'll come to trust my player assessments. I'm not just saying sh*t to sound cute like you.
Here's some video of him from the 96-97 season. Peep the pretty turn around fade away at the beginning.. Kobe didn't develop that shot. He had that kind of polish coming in to the league.

Lastly, the point I made about whether Kobe'd be benched by D'ant if he were on the Knicks and in his third year in the league, like AR, is valid. That's is... if you're able to use logic and you know and have a good feel for the two players. If you know the game the easy answer is emphatically- NO!!
Like the scouting report says (and as I've said), Kobe had a higher bball IQ, was more mature and was just a much more competent student of the game than AR. And, overall his game was much more polished. Stop comparing AR to Kobe. AR is NOT in young Kobe's stratosphere. For me to have to explain this to NY fans is just ridiculous.
