There is an argument for KOBE being a top 10 player of all time

Not even close to MJ. Not even close.

Kobe is behind at least Lebron and Duncan for this era.

messi

5/24/15 11:11pm

Duncan is probably one of the most underrated players ever

cougarfann888

Lebron still has catching up to do

If LeBron played the first 8 seasons of his career with Shaq in his prime

At least they had to play difficult teams to get to the finals

No doubt about that.

Not as good as Jordan, but come on. Kobe in his prime was amazing.

You could say top 10. 2nd best shooting guard ever, but behind Duncan for his

No thumbs down. I just disagree.

Scottie Pippen above Kobe? Hmmm, that's a stretch.

Rise Against

5/25/15 10:05pm

Nice try ...

MormonDevil

5/25/15 10:12pm

So you put him at around 10?

Beard Card

5/25/15 10:24pm

No. He is clearly better than the guys I listed ...

MormonDevil

You are in the extreme minority with that opinion. Kobe is an inefficient

I'm sorry, I thought some of those undisputed accomplishments made a fine case

Is anybody disputing that he's one of the greatest?

garyfan

Yes, that's how this thread started but obviously you didn't read it

Helm Hammerhand

5/26/15 12:23am

Seems like you just want to argue.

Looks like we're both a little stubborn and disagree, I'm good, enjoyed

Yet, several people in this thread disagreeing with you are Laker fans,

Magic said Kobe is the greatest Laker of all time, also Harden, Durrant,

Helm Hammerhand

5/25/15 11:43pm

Were you expecting Magic to anoint himself the greatest Laker of all time?

garyfan

5/26/15 12:04am

Nope, just value their opinion over yours

Helm Hammerhand

If I knew their true opinion, I'd value it.

I'm a Jazz fan. Can't stand Kobe as a person. But he's a top 10 ever player.
