It's s shame that this is the best Kobe. Every year 2k does Kobe dirty but this year was ridiculous. There's not a single Kobe with a post fadeaway, this card's three pointer doesn't go in, and MVP Kobe is jacked up.
I understand they're going to update MVP Kobe, but I'm already seeing him as a 96-97 knowing 2k.
They hate Kobe, and it's extremely hard to deny.

Kobe in his prime= 97

You cannot say Kobe is not a Top 10 player to play the game of basketball. He is top 30 All-Time in assists so you cant say he is a ball hog. There are WAY TOO MANY Kobe haters. Yeah he has made a couple of bad decisions but even Jordan cheated on his wife. I hope '08 or even Prime Kobe is a diamond because he deserves it over '89 Michael Jordan. You can't give The GOAT diamond just because what he would go on to do.
0
'89 Jordan doesn't deserve diamond? He should be at least a 98 he averaged 32 ppg, 8 rpg, 8 apg, 3 spg shooting 54% from the field.

Anyone else looking at the All-star pack collection and thinking this card should be better? Specifically athleticism. Early 2000s one of the quickest two guards ever

If I can somehow get this card without selling half of my lineup and spending more than $20 then that will be considered a win

i hope he goes for like 200K
0
its possible. if we wait a couple months more cards should come out and prices will drop. Im hoping it will be like the 95 rated Bird where people thought he was trash just because of his 3 ball and his value dropped dramatically. I then picked him up for under 100k so hopefully most people dont use this kobe properly and we capitalize off it lol
Show 1 reply...0
at start he'll go 800 K but I'm sure he'll drop. He's not diamond and like the worst diamonds go for 350-400 K

@DirkMamba Theres like 25 of him on the AH, pack odds have definitely been increased at least on newer players. You going to eventually pick him up?

This card is really not that good, at the moment David Thompson goes for 50k

this card can easily play point guard with that passing though

I am just saying the Kobe will go for at least 200k, and I know he is better, probably not that much
Show 2 replies...0
yeah ill probably just get him to play him at pg bc hes my favorite player and i cant afford the diamond versions
0
I have David Thompson. He's cheap and is actually pretty good compared to MJ and that TBT Kobe. He can fast break pretty good and can dunk on defenders as well as he has fast release which is not bad. I have sold MJ to get other good players aka beast players like Moments Klay and Moment KAT due to MJ's threes stats.

this is gonna be the best tbt card

Not at all. There are plenty better, diamond or amethyst

only 400K on release day?!? imagine 2 weeks from now

This card is going for a mil on Xbox one... If I was going to spend that you might as well just get the diamond for like 200 k more lol
0
Actually as of today, I believe that there are more diamonds going for 1 mil buy out or even less than there are diamonds that go for 1 mil+. The new moments like Lillard, AD, and PG13 are all under 1 mil and so is every other all-star amethysts except Magic. The same goes for TBT cards, the one ones that currently go for over a mil are Kyrie, Kobe, and Melo as I've even seen a Dirk sell for less.
0
With that said, I've seen this Kobe up for an 800k buy out and not sell on XB1. His price is just going to keep driving down until he's maybe 400-500k.
Show 5 replies...0
Honestly, I wouldn't even pay 400-500k, you can get Diamond cards for that much. I think anything over 250k for this guy is Way too much.
0
Yeah I know there are cheaper disnobds but if specifically wanted a kobe, if just pay the little extra and get the 98 version. Of you have enough mt to spend 800 k you probably can get enough for the better one. I hope this one goes down to 250ish
0
I was actually saving for that Diamond 98 overall Kobe for a while, but on XB1 there are weeks where not even 1 Diamond Kobe card is up. I got tired of waiting as I couldn't find a single card for a long time so I just bought Diamond Magic and Shaq.

The 08' Kobe doesn't have updated stats yet, he might be better than this
Yep, they hate Kobe so much they're going to give him a NINETY-SIX/NINETY-SEVEN OVERALL CARD... I don't understand how you can complain about that, that's barely lower than MJs best card and nearly on par with LeBrons MVP card! Smh
I feel you bro, 2K only loves Lebrick and MJ.....Kobe is sooo badass ;)
LeBron is better all-time. Kobe still has a better card than LeBron.

Show 6 replies...One on one, who would win? Btw old ass Kobe got lebron jumping the last day they play each other which is pretty sad for lebron since lebron's prime was 3 years ago and kobe's was 10 years ago. Michael Jordan even said himself he prefers kobe over lebron. ;)
basketball is a team game
we were talking about the players, not the team
Thats awesome for him. Kobe had LeBron jumping cuz that's his signatute move he could do at any age. I don't care who MJ prefers just cuz he never faced LeBron so he don't knoe. MJ aint no genious either. LeBron having a better season anyway one game don't matter
Genius...
Lol I was on my phone typing fast look how i spelled know lmao
young kobe wasnt a good shooter from 3 and didnt have much post game

Lol what was I thinking I regret this comment haha
but Mj is not overrated he is the goat.

98 overall kobe coming soon

I know. But the thing is that 2K hates the Lakers and Kobe. LD2K doesn't but Ronnie and the others hate them. Thats why they put Kobe's stats as terrible.
You mean the team with 5 pages of historic players?!?!?! 2k must hate them.
- Reply
Show 3 replies...What?
Lakers and Bulls have over 4 pages of historic players plus a page for throwbacks. No other team has more than 2 pages plus throwback. This is the 5th Kobe card. IMO they get too much love.
But you also posted this months ago. My bad.
It's alright
2kstauff makes the ratings not Ronnie... And I don't see whats wrong with this Kobe's stats.
- Reply
Show 10 replies...No he doesn't, it's not one person. He might be involved but it isn't only him, remember there is a ton of staff members at 2k that don't use twitter. People always seem to not realize that
Does everyone think the stats come from Ronnie??? Hes just the face of 2k there are other people behind the scenes... I dont hate ronnie idk why people do
He's just a community manager. Everyone thinks that he makes the game and player stats.
Yeah...That annoys me anyone under 12 is like BLAME RONNIE
XD
now there is a diamond kobe
I don't think they hate Kobe and that that's the reason Kobe's stats are terrible. This is the 2001 Kobe, not the Kobe in his prime, like in 2006. Plus, they're is gonna be a diamond 96 OVR TBT Kobe for when he got 81 points... Ronnie tweeted it
98*
They do.
they do
This Kobe has the right ratings it just needs a higher three and a higher post fadeaway.
- Reply
Show 63 replies...Why does he need a better 3? He shot only 30% from 3 in '01.
cause hes kobe
Kobe isn't known as a 3 point shooter tho
Well 5 weeks ago I must have been high, because I agree with you now.
lmfaoo
isnt known as a 3pt shooter?
Yeah. He's isn't
He holds the record for most three's made in a game for the Lakers
That doesn't mean much. Manute Bol holds 76ers record for most 3s made in a half... Kobe was never a great 3pt shooter because he never shot 40% from 3.
yes but he isnt a bad 3pt shooter and 34% in his Career isnt bad
It isn't bad but its definitely not great.
allen shot 40% from 3 in his Career. Its a 6% differential and allen didnt shot as many 3s late in his Career like kobe shoots now
6% is a big difference
allen with 37 shot 4 threes per game and kobe shoots 7 threes per game. And Kobe isnt in his best shape anymore and is struggling, because of his age and the injuries. 6% isnt a big difference... if u wouldnt Count kobes last 2 yrs it would be about 3-4 %. And Allen had never a very hard Injurie. Im not saying that he's a great 3pt shooter but he is definitly not bad
Kobe never shot 40% from 3. Ray shot above 40% 8 times. Its Kobes fault that he is taking 7 threes per game this season (and making only 27% of them). Also, I never said Kobe was a bad 3pt shooter, he is just not great. BTW you should compare him to Curry because Allen is an overrated 3pt shooter.
u cant compare him to Curry yet. Curry is about 28. His 3pt% will go down, when he gets older. Cause Curry shoots 10% more than Kobe. And im pretty sure that it will go down about 3-4%
Kobe was OK at 3's now let's just end this
Thank you!
ok
Curry's shooting won't decline that much. Just look at this season, 46% from 3 and he will break his own 3pt record (most 3s made in a season) a month before the end of the season.
but at the end of his career
Shooting doesn't decline that much
um.. like all guards arent as good as they used to be when theyre in their last years.
But still, Curry won't shoot 35% from 3 when he gets older. He will still shoot at least 40%
thats what i said
L:O:L
not only for the lakers, in the nba. And he is like 13/14 in all time made 3pters
he is not known as a ray allen type of 3pt shooter, but he shoots 3s very often (and hits and that means he is known as a 3pt shooter (he shot 34% in his Career, and thats not too bad in 20yrs)
Yeah
He's not known as a 3pt shooter. His shooting percentage from 3 isn't good. He is not known for his threes. He's attempted over 5000 and made right around 1500.
in his Career?
Basically what I'm saying is that he won't be remembered as "Kobe: The 3 point shooter" he will more be remembered as "Kobe: The scorer" you know "Offensive Monster" that kind of thing
He's 1789 for 5427. You are right that's pretty good, but that isn't what he's KNOWN for. Just scoring in general, not specifically 3 pointers. And he's not a deadeye shooter that should give him a great 3 point rating. Not KNOWN for it
ok ur right with that. It sounded like u would mean he is a bad 3pt shooter
Nah, that's just not his legacy. Know what I'm saying?
yeah
Just leave them go check out my cards
wtf are u talkin bout
To leave @Jeremy9096 and check out my cards
bruh
He made more than half lol
no he made 34%. Means every 3rd goes in
Y:a:
He did not make more than half what are you saying?
Hes saying hes good at math
I am I got 5 A's in a row. And only 5 B's and one C
It was a joke cause u said he made half BUT HE ONLY MADE ABOVE A THIRD...
IK but I m saying all this
what? What do u mean your saying all this
That I'm saying my notes on exams
bruh...
Oh I gotchu lol
i never asked u but are u on ps4?
Thinking about maybe getting a PS4 sometime tho
Definitely worth it imo
We got trolls on us...
Yeah all these downvotes damm
I have a +1000 so im good atm
Yeah I'm like 400 or something but I don't really care that much anyway
Nah fam, sorry, I'm on Xbox One bro
Every body on xbox on this site lol
N.O.T M.E
Yeah. I agree so much. But since they added myteam they were like DIRTY but I mean DIRTY to Kobe
There are no 98 players except MJ... And those 98 overall players probably aren't going to be released. I agree the best kobe should not be 95 but for this year I think it's pretty accurate... His best player SHOULD be 97 overall at most
What a shame...
whats a shame?

Show 2 replies......
what ??
Ur so stupid. Shut ur whiny mouth. Do you even watch basketball? Kobe was best in '08 and obviously this wasnt going to be the best one. And what are you talkin about 2k disrespects kobe every year? Last year he had an Onyx 99 ovrall. Quit hatin on 2k so much when not everything has come out yet.
I understand why though, if they made Kobe any better it would not only make other great players seem worse in comparison, it would also mean that fan favorites like LeFlop and Michael Jordan would be seen as lesser and 2k doesn't want to have players stop buying their games. Not saying that Kobe doesn't deserve to be higher, he definitely does, but 2k is a business and it is playing to the masses for the profits.
How do they hate him? he had the most overated card for his onyx last year no ways he deserved those attributes he was a 99 on multiple areas it was crazy
Because he's GOAT and 2k's brainwashed into thinking MJ is GOAT.
- Reply
Show 3 replies...How is giving a 96-97 overall card not good. That would make him one of the best players in the game
Because he is arguably the G.O.A.T. depending on what you base your opinions off of.
Hes definitely not the goat because A. he didn't pass enough B. He had to low of a shooting percentage and C. He got hurt too much but he is still a very good player and definitely deserves this card.
