4. Where does Kobe rank among the NBA's all-time greats?

Gutierrez: He's the second-best non-center ever to play. He wanted to be just like Michael Jordan, and he got as close as anyone could. That means he's right behind Jordan, then lands somewhere in the mix with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Wilt Chamberlain, Shaquille O'Neal and Bill Russell.







Israel Gutierrez just ranked Kobe ahead of Magic Johnson AND Larry Bird with a straight face. Add that to the fact that he's probably the worst sports writers in the business right now... how does this guy have a job?

Mehh his point is debtable (obviously) but not as ridiculous as some make it sound... Lebron may make the case moot in the near future anyway ...

Is he the guy that wears make-up, waxes his eyebrows, and bleaches his hair blonde ?

Can you tell which guy writes the 48MOH column?

"Varner: Duncan is, arguably, the best big to ever play basketball. He's done more with less individually and collectively -- Duncan's career win percentage and championship rings are far more impressive when one considers the relative lack of talent he's played alongside -- than any player in history."
