Kobe top 10 ?

Co sign

Kirbs is like 1 spot in front of Allen Iverson.

[Splits]

I mean, how can a guy that was picked 13th and rode the bench his first two years be top-10? Is there any precedent for that?

[scanry]

I think history will remember Kobe more than Hakeem tbh.

Top 10 in the order.

1. Jordan
2. Magic
3. Kareem
4. Duncan
5. Wilt
6. Bird
7. LeBron
8. Shaq
9. Kobe
10. Moses

Tim surpassed a few players in the past three years. Kobe belongs in the top 10 but his legacy destroying tour is not helping his cause.

[midnightpulp]

No doubt. His bad shooting nights were becoming like crack and I was a junkie. Gonna have to go cold in' turkey now.

People often seem to forget about Moses Malone. Three time league MVP, Finals MVP, and in that championship run, he had the MVP double, League MVP and Finals MVP in the same season, while doing it in the golden era of the (Lakers/Celtics) NBA 80s, sweeping the defending championship Lakers in the Finals, and outplaying Kareem. Many often leave him out. Moses belongs in the top 10.

I see my fellow addict Splits down there. Where you rehabbing at, brother?

[StrengthAndHonor]

You went in a coma the last decade?

Kobe played in 2. Im pretty sure he did a lot more than score in his first.

I feel that. We've got a long road ahead.

Uh oh, Timmy just shot with his left, hope that last pass didn't tear his labia

Played in two what? Showers?

Not really getting what you are trying to say.

[ambchang]

Players better than kobe, in no particular order

Jordan
Kareem
Magic
Bird
Hakeem
Duncan
Shaq
Moses
Lebron
Oscar
Wilt
Russell

Then there's
Dr J
Logo
Baylor

Even if you ignored the old timers (the historical significance of the game) and evaluate only players since 1975, kobe would have a tough time cracking the top 10.

Putting Lebron on the top 10 was like putting Kobe in the top 10 after the first 3 les, given his age etc. Time will tell if there's room for him. How is Hakeem ahead of Kobe, or Bird, or Magic?

Except Kobe rode Shaq to his first 3 les and Lebron was the alpha in his 5 finals appearances. He's won 2 Finals MVPs and 4 league MVP awards. If you're going to put Kobe above him because Kobe has more rings, then you should put Pippen ahead of Bird.

[ducks]

kobe in his prime was way better then the prime of james

Ask yourself this question: If Allen Iverson was gifted Kobe's situation (13th pick, rookie and soph campaigns riding the bench, 2nd fiddle to Shaq for 3 chips), would he have also won with Pau steering the ship?

My answer: yes.

Kobe == Lucky Allen Iverson
