As a Kobe fan, I have to admit something...

[stalkerforlife]

Kobe is definitely top 10. I don't see how he would be top 3 though.

[DaSeba5]

Explain.

[DaSeba5]

because wilt and bill russell don't count.

That eliminates 2 people. What puts him over Magic, Bird, Duncan, and Shaq?

[stalkerforlife]

Explain.

Most ever first team ALL-NBA selections and first team ALL-DEFENSE selections. 5 titles. Two finals MVPs. 31,700 points is 4th all time. 5,640 playoff points is 3rd all time.

He's easily top 5 all time.

[SwayDizzle]

What Kobe did during the 2012-2013 season was nothing short of amazing. He single handedly brought the Lakers to the playoffs; in his 17th season none the less. This catapulted him in the top 5.

It was really special, simply because his team quit on him. He played with the fire that they all lacked.

Few people understand that his team quit.

IDK if they quit. They just sucked. Too old and too many injuries with no defense. A recipe for disaster.

So true. All you have to do is pay attention to the team's body language during that season, then it becomes obvious.

I might be the biggest kobe fan on this site but there's no way even I can put him in the top 10


Too many disappointments imo

His resume is arguably top 5, no doubt. As a player I rank him in the 12-15 range. When factoring in both I have him ranked number 8 all time. Fantastic player, fantastic career.

8 isn't so bad that I will argue it.

fair enough, you probably have Bird and Magic over Kobe that's why. hard to argue between those three. all legends

[Cocaine80s]

In the past 4 years he had 2 first round exits and 2 missed playoffs.

If they miss the playoffs again this year he drops out of my top 15

[Fudge]

I have him somewhere between 2-5, depending on the day.
