Is kobe a top 15 player of all time?

[apalisoc_9]

Unless you're an idiot like most kobe fans, you would know kobe is not top 10..But is he atleast top 15?

[Venti Quattro]

I'm an idiot, and yes, Kobe is a top 10 player of all time.

[baseline bum]

I think Kobe is easily in the top 15, and probably top 10, real talk.

[Venti Quattro]

5 championships
2 Finals MVPs
1 MVP
9 NBA All-Defense teams
14 All-NBA team mentions
10 All-NBA first teams
14 All-Star appearances
4 All-Star Game MVPs
16 years (and counting) in the league

Name me 10 players who have that kind of resume.

It's arguable that he is 9 or 10, but after this year with a stacked team how he under performed, I have him in the 12-15 range. He can climb higher if he has a run like Tim is having.

[slick'81]

kobe is top10.

[DPG21920]

If he's top 10, he's no better than 9, but I don't see it.

You're just making it hard for yourself. He's top 10, easily.

Michael Jordan
Magic Johnson
Kareem
Hakeem
Larry
Bill
Wilt
Duncan
Shaq
Oscar Robertson

And Who exaclty is inferior to kobe on this list?...

[Richie]

Top 15 easily. Top 10, likely in the 8-10 range just below Duncan and Shaq

I have 13 but really considering the fact that most of his personal achievement are bogus and that fact that he shoots horribly and the fact that he is a horrible teammate made me ask this question..although 12-15 is not that bad..

[midnightpulp]

Top 15 easily. Top 10, likely in the 8-10 range just below Duncan and Shaq

[baseline bum]

I think my rankings would be

1. Jordan
2. Magic
3. Bird
4. Abdul-Jabbar
5. Olajuwon
6. O'Neal
7. Duncan
8. Russell
9. Bryant
10. Chamberlain

I'm not even sure if Wilt deserves top 10 after reading so many horrible things about him in Simmons' book (especially what other players thought of his stat-padding and how it cost his team games, even big playoff games).

[lefty]

Kobe is top 20


Which is still good, don't be ashamed Laker fans

Most overrated player of all-time. Lol at passing up open shots to pad his assist totals. Don't know why people continue to knob slob this guy.

LOL All-star Chucking..If you think he deserves even half of those all defensive teams, you're kidding yourself..I fixed the number for what he truly deserved

[Reck]

He's top 15.

[DPG21920]

You're just making it hard for yourself. He's top 10, easily.

Great argument

This has been hashed out numerous times on here by myself and others. I won't argue too much if you say he's 9 or 10, but it's most definitely not "easily". Based on this years failures I have him 12 to 15. That's not a knock, that's still incredible.

I know a guy in real life laker fan who think he is the greatest of al time.

Wilt was a stat guy, but damn his stats are the most overrated in the history of basketball.

A better question is where is LeBron? Surely ahead of the likes of Malone and Barkley already

[KD4MVP]

Probably in the 8-10 range at worst.
