Player's Views FAR GREATER than Media's View/Media's Accolades
Durant on Kobe:
Of course. He’s the greatest of all time. His skill is second to none. Him and [Michael Jordan] are neck and neck as far as skill. You can put in athleticism and be the best passer and strongest and quickest. But it’s about skill. I think that’s how his game is played. That’s why Kobe is the top two best ever in just having skill, footwork, shooting the three, shooting the pull up, posting up, dunking on guys and ball handling. It’s flat out skill. Him and Jordan are 1 and 1A. They’re neck and neck as far as the skills are concerned.”
Wade on Kobe:
Kobe Bryant is the greatest player of our era. The Kobe Bryants aren’t around no more. There are good young players, but there will never be another Kobe
MJ on Kobe:
Kobe's the only one to have done the work, to deserve comparison.
Bird on Kobe:
If you want to have fun, like I did with Bill Walton, play with LeBron. It would have probably been more fun to play with LeBron, but if you want to win and win and win, it's Kobe.
Pippen on Kobe:
Kobe spent as much time as anyone developing his game. It paid off, to me he ranks behind only MJ among all players in the last few decades.
etc....
Lebron is rarely mentioned as a top 3 of all time by players unless they are picking all time players by position in which case some might give him the SF starting position and unless the players work for the media

You post it and can we really count what Magic has to say. He has been part of the Media for how many years now.

Players like MJ, Bird, Wade see similarities between themselves and Kobe, either on-court on in approach to the game( scoring, cut-throat type mentality), that's why MJ gravitated towards Kobe moreso than Lebron. Oscar, Pippen, Magic are all closer to Lebron in size and skillset so those guys naturally gravitate his way.

I don't know about that. See what Pippen said recently below. SF's like Bird, Durant and PF's like Dirk gravitate to Kobe as well.
Pippen on Kobe:
To me he ranks behind only MJ among all players in the last few decades.
Dirk on Kobe:
He's our Michael Jordan for our generation.

And how many of those quotes came during the past year after Kobe announced his retirement? By mid-2000s, it was all criticism of Kobe and now it is praise. When LeBron is retiring, we'll hear all the praise then too.

No. It's a playground for children.
