IF Kobe is not top ten all-time, then who is?

Larry Bird better than Kobe? Really? GTF outta here

Shaq had Kobe, Wade, Nash while Jordan had Pippen.

Hakeem had no 2nd option and won 2 rings, give him props for that.

Sure he did, his number 2 option was Clyde Drexler who was a good number 2 option.

Where does this filth come from? Otis Thorpe, Maxwell, Smith are good players.

He had Clyde Drexler the following year.

When the Lakers won in 2000, Shaq's team wasn't all that great.

In Hakeem's 93-94 run, they had 5 players scoring in double figures in the playoffs. In Shaq's 99-00 run, they had 3 scoring in double figures. But yeah, Hakeem's team was just terrible...

Clyde averaged 21\7\5 on 50% but I guess that's a shitty 2nd option

Here's the 1993-1994 Rockets team when Hakeem won his first championship

Pg: Kenny Smith/Sam Cassell/Scott Brooks
Sg: Vernon Maxwell/Mario Elie/Larry Robinson
Sf: Robert Horry/Chris Jent/Matt Bullard
Pf: Otis Thorpe/Carl Herrera/Earn Crueton
C: Hakeem Olajuwon/Richard Petruska/Eric Riley

imo kobe is currently around 11 or 12. If he wins a ring this year, he will definitely be in the top 10 but exactly where? i dont know yet.

I Say 2 Rings and I'll put him above Duncan, Shaq and Hakeem

Agreed. Kobe is getting hugely overrated right now because he has had 2 good series against bad defenses. Kobe fans get WAY to caught up in the moment, and forget to think.

[ZenMaster]

You're 18... Neither have you.

What is Hakeem better at? Defense?

Shaq's won more, better peak, more accomplished, better longevity.
Hakeem hasn't got shit on Shaq.

So you admit not having seen the man play and don't think the other guy has either. Yet you keep discussing if he's better and try to make your point that he isn't

He's proven himself time and again.... and is still doing it

proven what time and time again?

[NoGunzJustSkillz]

Kobe ain't even better than J.R. Smith at this point in his career.

[White Mamba]

Kobe is the second best SG in the history of the game, he is a top 10 player.

He's proven himself a lot...especially against bad defenses. He's failed a number of times too, usually against good defenses like DET and BOS.

But since he has just put up good numbers against bad defenses, Kobe fans are being irrational.
