Iverson indicated a void in the debate with his comments on Kobe Bryant’s exclusion. He said:
“LeBron is great, first of all. When they talk about comparing him to Mike, I don’t understand how they don’t have the debate when it comes to Kobe. I don’t get it. What, you forgot or something? I really think they forgot. I really think they forgot the Mamba, man. Certified serial killer, man.”

One cannot disagree with AI on this matter. His comments are not a result of him and the Mamba playing together. They were opponents for several years in the NBA. Bryant has had a huge impact on the court as Iverson’s opponent, and vice-versa.
Kobe Bryant won five NBA titles in his 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers. This includes a historic three-peat which accomplished by Bryant and Shaquille O’Neal in the early 2000s. Bryant stands as the fourth-highest point scorer in the NBA. He is only behind Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone and LeBron James.
