SI - Rob Mahoney was asked about Kobe's all time ranking

[Mr Feeny]

This seems in line with with the general consensus and the votes on here, on realgm, ESPN and SI.


" I tend to be fickle on his exact ranking, though generally I find Kobe landing somewhere just outside the top 10. The volume of Bryant

[BigKAT]

Good angle OP.
Interesting read.

People have to grasp that Dirk > Kobe is super plausible.

[aj1987]

Dirk, KG, Oscar, and West literally have ZERO case over Kobe. Shit's just laughable. Dirk?

[IllegalD]

Funny how ex/current players and NBA coaches all have Kobe comfortably inside the Top 10, and most even have him somewhere in the Top 5. You know, people who actually know about basketball.

Yet Feeney and the rest of the LeStanley Losers are so insecure that they latch onto any little thing that a non-athlete says about Kobe as if it was gospel truth.

Funny? No.

True? No.

Funny? No.

Steph and KD have NO chance of passing KD. Dumb as shit.

Dirk and KG have arguments tho. Give Dirk 1 HoF player in their prime and he gets 2-3 more rings.

Dirk and KG have arguments. Definitely not ' ' You laugh at that and dont laugh at Steph being considered > Kobe?

Then again, didnt you put Wade like a top 10 goat? Wade?

[SpaceJam]

The same people who agree that KG and Dirk has a case OVER Kobe are the same people who criticize KB for only winning 1 MVP in 20 seasons, yet Dirk and KG have 1 in 19 and 21 seasons respectively

I'd love to hear the arguments

KG has legit become one of the most underrated players ever...his IMPACT was far greater than Kobe's...its not his fault that the front office couldn't put a a decent team around him. Frankly a lot of players are underrated because you ****ing retards think championships is the end all of rankings...ugh. I'm tired of you ****ing mongoloids

Steph is not even close to being greater than Kobe all time.

Yeah, Wade is a top 10 GOAT. Should be top 5, IMO.

After how many drinks did you type this post?

Anyways, if I actually thought that rings were the only deciding factor, I wouldn't have LeBron over Kobe or Moses/Oscar over Wade, etc..

Kobe actually has legit become THE most underrated player. Well, it's probably because of the LeBron kids and their dozens of alts. Not to mention the advanced stat nerds.

Very few people would agree with you.
Whats your top 5 in any case?

If you don't KG had a bigger impact than Kobe then you are a moron. Simple as that.

'08-'10

1x MVP
2x FMVP
2x NBA Champ
3x All-NBA 1st
3x All-Def 1st
3x All-Star

30/6/6/2/1 in the PO's on 57% TS. You really can't even cry about the efficiency, because that's higher than LeBron's PO's TS%. Higher than LeBron's '16 Finals TS% as well.

'08 - Beat the 56 win Spurs, 54 win Jazz, and 50 win Nuggets
'09 - Beat the 53 win Rockets, 54 win Nuggets, and 59 win Magic
'10 - Beat the 50 win Thunder, 53 win Jazz, 54 win Suns, and 50 win Celtics

10 top 10 defenses and 5 top 5.

Kobe in those 3 seasons achieved more than KG did in his entire career.

So, yeah, Kobe did have more impact than KG at their best. Also, instead of going off on your drunken rants in every thread, you might actually want to use some FACTS/STATS while discussing basketball.
