Now that Kobe is nearly out of the league, how does he rank all time objectively?

[Trollsmasher]

11th at best

[PhutureDynasty]

I have him at 9.

1. Michael Jordan
2. Bill Russell
3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
4. Magic Johnson
5. Wilt Chamberlain
6. Larry Bird
7. Tim Duncan
8. Shaquille O'Neal
9. Kobe Bryant
10. Hakeem Olajuwon / LeBron James (can't decide who deserves the 10 spot)

PEOPLE HAVE TO STOP OVERRATING BILL RUSSEL. He is a modern day ben wallace im sorry to tell you this. Wilt is pretty overrated too but his numbers are so crazy that he can be a lower part of the top 10.

Kobe at 9 for me

If he was a modern day Ben Wallace then how come no other players dominated like him during his era (short of Wilt)?

11 championship rings on potential GOAT-level post defense. Good enough for 2nd all time in my opinion.

[greatest-ever]

11-12th.

[Cold soul]

Man so many people had Kobe ranked so much higher after his fifth championship in 2010 he's so disrespected now...

[Prometheus]

Top ten, but not top five.

Still ahead of LeBron. For now.

[PhutureDynasty]

I don't see an argument for him being outside the top 10.

Name 10 better players than Kobe?

I can only name 8 at the moment (LeBron MIGHT jump him).

[Akrazotile]

Based on court impact hes genuinely not any better than Robinson, Stockton, Oscar, West, KG and a bunch of other dudes.

His game is aesthetic and hes been surrounded by expensive teams with great rosters, resulting in the gullible public being sold some mythical "ultimate champion" bc of the titles. Did Derek Fischer not win a chip every year Kobe did? It was the LAKERS winning those titles, not Kobe.

Dude is terrible in the playoff clutch and has games so bad he singlehandedly loses for his team. How many top 10 guys can say that?

Hes not a top 20 impact guy. Thats a fact.

[the mesiah]

I got him 6-8 range rite now,.

[ArbitraryWater]

10-15 is a great place for him.

[HOoopCityJones]

10-15 is a great place for him.

Who's in front him? Let's see how full of shit you really are.
