I remember when I was a young poster for this forum. I used to call Kobe funny names. "Iron Butt." "Boner." Once I even called him..."asshole." But there was always respect. I always knew where the line was drawn. And you all just stepped over it, buddy-boys.
kobe has been working real hard climbing up the list of all time scorers and there's a motive behind it we see. although he quit on his team on various occasions and he never succeeded winning it w/o another superstar playing alongside, he's still easily a top15 all time player no doubt
Olajuwon is ranked mostly by peak play..career-wise, he has many blemishes on his resume, tbh..
Moses has plenty of accomplishments too.
BTW, left out Dr. J if include ABA.
Kobe is one of the ten best players in NBA history. His accomplishments have been listed, as has his flaws, so I won't go there. As a Spurs fan, I unfortunately saw some of Kobe Bryant's best work first hand. His entry into the elite level of NBA players arguably occurred in the 2001 WCF against the Spurs. At his peak, when he was hot, Kobe was the most unguardable player in the league.
I would rank him in the bottom half of the top ten, beneath most of the great bigs of the last two decades. Basketball is a big man's game, and with the exception of Jordan they will always be more valuable and higher ranked in my eyes. That is why I would put Shaq and Duncan ahead of Kobe.
That was not a list to rank primes. Malone belongs in the top 10 of all time just because of his prime.
Dude was, and still is, seriously underrated.
If he could talk, he would be ranked in the same level as Kareem.
No way.
Seems like a nice controller, but sadly, the buttons start working only intermittently with the game on the line.
Kareem played at a high level for nearly 2 decades, won 6 les, and was unguardable.
Moses was a bad matchup for him head to head, but head to head isn't always as important as the whole body of work a guy submits over his career.
Moses was incredible, but not Kareem incredible.
The op is a flat out dumbass..... but we already knew that. Anyway Kobe is def. top 10....maybe top 5 all-time depending on who you talk to
Moses had a solid decade of brilliance. Yes, there is no question Kareem won in the longevity department, but Kareem was at the top for about 12 or 13 years, a few years more than Moses.
Most people forgot that Kareem in the 80's had Magic, he was good, but he was no longer at the top of his game for a chunk of the 80s (starting around 83/84) but had his stature boosted because he played in LA.
Moses was a beast for a very long time, not as long as Kareem, but for a significant portion of a decade. He won 3 MVPs, (two in a row for two different teams), a whole bunch of all-nba teams. The only thing that pulled him back was that he only had one ring, but again, why penalize Moses for not having the support Kareem and Bird had?
