He's accusing our team of not trying and tanking, yet he was praising Boston, of all teams, for playing hard and making games compe ive. Dude's a complete bum. ESPN is garbage from top to bottom, other than Marc Stein. _________________ Quote: Bryant had come to rage against the idea that Howard's clownish disposition could overtake the locker room, the Lakers' culture, and had warned Howard that he would never, ever let it happen.

Simmons being a Boston fan will forever hate LA, it goes with the territory.

He's right though.

Bill Simmon's opinion

[DAF86]

Bill Simmon's opinion

Makes him several millions per year. I wish I had that kind of opinion.

[HI-FI]

TD's legend will continue to grow, not sure I can say the same about Bryant though.

Doesn't mean squat. Do you value his opinion?

[scanry]

Bill Simmon's opinion

Don't think many will dispute it tbh. He's accomplished more as a player tbh.

[DAF86]

More than yours, definitely.

[Sean Cagney]

True.........

[RsxPiimp]

More than yours, definitely.

Cool, so you do value the fact he ranked Kobe # 8 on the All time list?

Above Shaq and Olajuwon?

Tim Duncan is at # 7.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Tim Duncan has a major impact on every area of the game. Tim is a top 3? two way player of alltime

So yeah no doubt he's the greatest after jordan

[ezau]

Why the is Chimpman Wilt Chamberlain at # 6? er played against 6'9 white boys in his prime.

[RsxPiimp]

Tim Duncan is at # 7.

That's not question this time though. He said he values Simmon's opinion. I just want to see how he values Simmon's opinion now that he has Kobe above Shaq.

Piimp doing work.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Listening to him, Tirico, and Rose made me want to jam sharp objects into my ears.

[Cry Havoc]

Kobe is a lock.

For the 11th best player of all-time as things stand. James has already removed him from the top 10, tbh.

1. Jordan
2. Kareem
3. Wilt
4. Bird
5. Magic
6. Duncan (moves up to 5 with a ring this year)
7. Russell
8. James (moves up to 3 or 4 with a ring this year)
9. Big O
10. Hakeem

[StrengthAndHonor]

How can you not have Shaq in your Top 10 and put Big O in it?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

Why the is Chimpman Wilt Chamberlain at # 6? er played against 6'9 white boys in his prime.

Bill Russell, Lew Alcindor, Walt Bellamy, Jerry Lucas, Nate Thurmond, or Wes Unseld? Sure he sometimes got matchups with 6'9" guys like Bob Pet but look at the trotted out in todays NBA. Humphries, Stiemsma, Bonner and all other manner of utter trash has started at the 5 in the NBA. Big man talent is and has been for quite some time.

Before Chamberlain teamed with Greer, teams were constantly parading guards to double hard on him. Rebounding became beat the out of Wilt time. Mind you this isn't modern pussyball. Hacks, bumps, shoves and the like were tolerated. He wasn't given the Shaq treatment where he was allowed to bowl people over and slam it. Quite the contrary as he was treated much like Rasheed Wallace if even that well. He scored with finger rolls, hooks, and a turnaround jumper to compensate. He was the greatest rebounder in history by far despite that .

This notion that Chamberlain was playing with a stacked deck is not accurate.

[FuzzyLumpkins]

1 Wilt
2 MJ
3 Magic
4 Robertson
5 Jabbar
6 Duncan
7 James
8 Bird
9 O'Neal
10 Olajuwon

You are so cute! Big O was a stat padder & a career loser, who was carried to his only le in a weak era by Kareem.

[irishock]

Kobe should be contending with Dirk in the top 13

[KaiRMD1]

Simmons is still a little butthurt about the fact that the Spurs got Duncan the year the Celtics were supposed to get him.

Right you are. And since he's exactly like Kobe with better stats (and less of a ), Oscar gets the nod.
