i agree.
Bruce Bowen was asked on the hot list where does Kobe rank among the all-time greats. He said Kobe was top 5 and then said Jordan was #1 and Kobe was #2. Pretty high praise considering Kobe still has several high quality years left.
Very interesting considering Bowen was a teammate of Timmy Duncan
i agree.
He spent the majority of his career having to physically guard Kobe. If anyone knows and respects what Kobe does, it's Bruce. That being said, I don't see how anyone can justify putting Kobe in the #2 all-time spot.
Makes decent sense. Most people are reluctant to put a person who isnt retired that high but when he retires in 6-8 years he'll probably be the concensus #2.
Bowen is biased because he had to play with kobe
There's no way in kobe is #2
Wilt and MJ are above, and you got a lot of other guys you can make an argument for.
He's not even top 10.
Wilt?
Bird?
Magic?
Kareem?
MiamiHeat GTFO. What is your obsession with a player that you hate,get a life. No1 cares about your imput cause ur so far up dwyane wade's ass it's not funny. I like d-wade and think he's a great player,and u dont see me trashing him on every thread
I upset a member of kobe's congregation
face reality, noobsauce.
Kobe is top 10 or 15, not #2.
If I had to pick a personal favorite all-time great, it's Larry Bird. Then Kobe.
who the is this?
Bill Russell?????? I swear everyone forgets him even though you could make a legit argument that he was greater than Jordan. (I don't believe that but a case could be made.)
Old Bowen ain't gonna abide the old Spurs Line, I see. jejejeje!!!
No one looks at the defensive end of the ball.
I think it's a little premature to put Kobe in the top 5 of all time. Jordan didn't get his first ring until he was 29, Kobe is 30-31 and already has 4. Let's see what he does over the next 4-5 years.
IMHO, if he can get 2-3 more championships this question won't even need to be asked.
top 12 before kobe even egts into consideration
michael jordan
kareem abdul jabbar
wilt
magic johnson
larry bird
moses malone

who the is this?
#2 All time shooting guard would be more accurate...
Good to see an old salt like Bowen shovin' it the Big Fundamental. WOOT!
How can he he knock Bird out the top 5 when Bird is better than Magic?

Zing!
The list is solid...but i have a hard time putting Garnett above O and the Logo.
negative. Bird was a much better player.
Bruce has got to be drinkin' that ESPN Koolade or however the you spell it. Sean Elliott would have none of that .
No way is Kobe better than Tim let alone second of all time.
I think y'all have misunderstood Bowen; you're thinking accomplishments while Bruce is talking from a pure "Great Player" standpoint.
Bowen knows Kobe playing against him all those years.
Kobe could very well be the 2nd greatest player right now; not in accomplishments but as a player...and who would know better than the man charged to battle him?
And if Bruce is right, in 5 years Kobe will be recognized as one of the all time Greats for his team accomplishments as well.
meh
There's no reason to argue over semantics here...but as far as face-value is concerned, Bowen said "second greatest player if all-time."
And on the list of "all-time greatest players"....
Kobe isn't 2nd.
Most talented??? Maybe.
But that's not what he said.
And even still, i done see how Kobe is more talented than Wilt.
