Why is Kobe not top 10 alltime?

[zay_24]

Honestly, i have not seen ONE good argument as to why kobe is NOT top 10 alltime.

Someone who disagrees with Kobe being top 10 alltime please come in here and tell me why.

I don't necessarily disagree with it, but the biggest argument would be he hasn't won as "the man" enough yet.

The vast majority, including myself have Kobe in the top 10.

I think he's top 10.

[FCN]

He is close now, but I still don't think he is quite there. There are too many greats from past generations who IMO he has not yet surpassed. No slight against him, and he is as I said very close.

He is.. arguably top5, it's hard to find 7-8 players that are better than him.

My top10 again

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

Wilt is not top-ten?

NO WILT?????

[jstern]

I think most have him around 10. Maybe some say no, because many Kobe fans have him as number 1, ahead of Jordan, and they get annoyed and don't even want Kobe at number 10.

This, though I don't agree with it.

Kobe has 2 championships as the man with career averages of

25.3/5.3/4.7/1.5/.6 on 46%

IMO, that easily warrants a top 10 position, but alas, some people have very different views on things.

I think 5-9 is a reasonable ranking for Kobe(I have him at 7). He could go up another few spots if he wins a few more rings and ups his stats by 10% or so across the board.

NO WILT?????

lol that was off the top of my head..

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

happy?

A fair estimate puts kobe at #7, a conservative estimate puts him in the top10.

[chips93]

Solid post. I have Kobe at anywhere between 8-10 (depending on where to put Bird and Olajuwon)...but more than likely he will finish higher...perhaps much higher.
