Jayson Tatum and Anthony Edwards are both on the same level Kobe was at the same age (26 for Tatum and 22 for Ant)

Kobe fans gonna be butthurt about this, but please tell me how it is not true.

Tatum: slowly but surely developed into a superstar coming into the league and a great team at a young age. Shot under 40% FG in his first 11 finals games just like Kobe, but performed really well in the playoffs leading up the Finals. Defensive beast in terms of effort and impact. Would easily have three rings or more if he was drafted onto a team with prime Shaq.

Ant: Also came into the league young, but on a bad team. Developed well into a budding superstar, but still much to improve on in terms of offensive consistency at age 22. Also a defensive beast in terms of effort and impact. Would also easily have three rings or more if he was drafted onto a team with prime Shaq. He also has developed an image where he can do no wrong or underperform; there is always a valid excuse for him similar to young Kobe airballing three times in a playoff game. Against the Mavs, he was allowed to be “tired” from guarding Kyrie and murray the series prior. The most athletic and youngest player on the court was given the tired excuse lol.

Explain to me how Kobe was better than these two at the same ages.

To add: Luka is definitely a better player than Kobe so far in his career. Just imagine with prime Shaq since his rookie year
