Lol at leaving Kobe out of top 10.

^Oscar over Bryant. ****ing idiot.

I don't understand why people put Oscar in the top ten. Only one 50 win season in his prime and didn't win jack till Kareem came into town.

My top 10

1. Jordan
2. Kareem
3. Russell
4. Wilt
5. Magic
6. Kobe
7. Duncan
8. Shaq
9. Lebron
10. Bird

Be open to it.. with Hakeem it's a valid opinion, even Oscar/Jerry/etc

Alright then, Mikan takes his place. Kobe is on that Dr. J "Not Top 10" level.

No, it really isn't.

[ISHGoat]

Im a huge lebron stan but I can also admit kobe is a top 10 player in terms of achievement.

But in terms of actual impact, big men should always top the list

[oarabbus]

No, it really isn't.

Lol you rank Kobe above Duncan so you might be a bit biased

I had a hard time with that, it is virtually toss up IMO.

To who? According to you all alrighty then that must prove it.

The thing with Kobe is that he's very skilled, but unlike every top ten player he doesn't have countless memorable playoff/Finals moments. Then you have the Shaq issue with Shaq being so dominating winning 3 championships, and the countless bailout shots shooting 41%. Great player, great skills, just doesn't feel like a genium top 10 player.

So you have those things going on, and then on top, not so much now, but in the past you had millions of teenagers claiming he's the GOAT, and putting every other player in history down, including his current teammates.

It's just an interesting phenomenon.

Hakeem? Sure I can understand that argument. But not Oscar or Jerry West himself would tell you Kobe better player than he ever was.

Bullshit.

The only reason why Kobe doesn't "feel like a genuine top 10 player" to some is because of his abrasive attitude. Tim Legler was right if Kobe had the personality of a Duncan, no one would be questioning whether or not he is a top ten player.
