Here it is. I think that right now, hands down the absolute best basketball player in the NBA is Kobe Bryant. Dont get me wrong there are other players who are great right now but there is no one as good as Kobe.
Kobe Bryant first of all is right now the best clutch performer on the basketball court. The shots he makes at the end of games and in tough situations are even for me sometimes unbelievable. Even today I watched the Lakers play against the Boston Celtics and thanks to Kobe's very difficult shot with 7.3 seconds remaining in the game over Ray Allen the Lakers won the game.
That guy right now is just so confident in his ability and has so much belief that he is going to make the game winning basket or play it scares me. He reminds me so much of a Superstar that no longer plays in the leauge any more Michael Jordan. I mean to me he will never be as good as Jordan was but right now going by especially in the clutch performance he is the Best Player in the NBA.
He is playing hurt and stil it is almost impossible to see an impact of the injury on his game. Even though he is hurt it is almost impossible to stop this guy no matter who is deffending him and how close they are playing him because if he doesn't shoot over you he will drive to the basket and score or get fouled.
The closest player in my mind right now to Kobe is Lebron James. He is very good, and now that Shaq is with him I would like to see the Cavs and Lakers play each other in the Finals. I think that that would be unimaginable to watch and that it would draw so many people that those NBA Finals would beat records of people watching them.
Kobe bryant just never seems to give up and always no matter the situation on the court looks so hungry and determined to win and be the best on the court. To him it does not matter who he is playing against. He just comes out on the court and plays the game of basketball like the best. He has taken so much from M.J. that sometimes while I watch him play it is ipossible not to see the similarities.
I will always think that Michael Jordan was and will be the best basketball player ever, but right now Kobe is the best basketball player playing in the NBA.
