top 25 with 2 Spurs on list

Um...Kobe has led his team to the 7th spot in the WC while KG led his team back to the lottery, and don't try to tell me that Kobe has a better supporting cast around him than KG. As for Wade being better than Kobe...I don't think anyone can compare to the level Kobe has been playing at this season. He deservedly gets the #1 spot.

Who do you think should be #1? BTW, Carmelo should be higher....

Agree with everything Kori said but think Carmelo is a year away from moving into top 5 consideration but making major progress, Yao may be too low.

Amare was left off but today added not that this was only due to injury - healthy he makes case for top 10.

KG had the pieces two years ago, and thanks to bad management and himself being a compe or and not a champion, he blew it and is looking to a career of ring chasing like a Malone or Payton.

If a player was asked to show off their individual talent compromising the team, then lots of others like KG, Wade and Lebron could do what Kobe does. Kobe's unique in that he'll bite on that suggestion because he's full of himself. Taking 30 shots and scoring less than half while the Lakers get the loss is not impressive to those who only want to see a Team effort. Kobe is an overrated used by the NBA to promote ratings for potential marginal NBA fans who know nothing but names. Hence, the constant LA laker games nationally selected every week. Kobe's the most talented of the bunch, but his ego wastes it. Wade and Lebron will be much better than him in a few years.

As far as Kobe's bottom seed playoff spot, Phil Jackson has something to do with that Playoff spot. Way more than Kobe. Kobe is a big factor, but I don't think it woulda worked with a lesser coach.
I used to hate the lakers but now I just hate Kobe. Luke Walton, Lamar, Smush, Kwame, they're all just trying to make the playoffs and the only time Lakers get the win is when the rest of the team does what the coach asks of them. I can't even hate those guys for doing their job. Kobe is lucky to have Phil handling the team's output. Other than that Kobe is great at vaunting defenses, but it's never enough without his team getting their shots to fall. Kobe is all show.

You believe Kobe is all show, I believe he is a superior player - time will tell.

To each his own.

It's ok. I'm biased. That was just a tirade. Time will tell. I respect his game, hate his at ude-- it gets annoying on the times when he thinks he can't fail and forgets all about the other 4 players on the court.

Actually that was me. But I can see how our bravatars are similar.
