Kobe is so goddamn insecure. Dirk was ranked 26 in the same list and he didn't give two s, while proceeding to have his best season since the chip year
How the times have changed. I hear now Kobe and his fans are begging for him to be ranked in the top 40
Kobe Bryant Says Anyone Who Believes He's No. 25 NBA Player 'Needs Drug Testing'BY DAN FAVALE

For those who believe Kobe Bryant is the 25th-best player in the NBA, look behind you; the Black Mamba is staring at you, tapping his feet, holding up a tissue and transparent plastic cup while pointing to the nearest bathroom.
ESPN placed Kobe at No. 25 in its most recent NBA player rankings, down from No. 6 in 2012. Naturally, this wasn't going to sit well with the Mamba.
When asked about being No. 25, Kobe suggested that anyone who ranks him that low should be drug-tested, per the Los Angeles Times' Eric Pincus:
Drug-tested for what, exactly? We're not sure. But Kobe has a point.
Even at 35, and even while he's rehabbing a ruptured Achilles, Kobe is better than No. 25. Just last season, he finished in the Top 10 in player efficiency rating (23.0) while averaging the second-most minutes per game (38.6) of all qualified players.
The complexity of his recovery clearly impacts his standing, but dropping him 19 spots is extreme. Under-the-influence insane, perhaps.
So of course Kobe wasn't happy. He was irate to begin with.
ESPN had already predicted his Los Angeles Lakers would finish 12th in the Western Conference. Stashing him behind guys such as Joakim Noah, Chris Bosh andJohn Wall in the player rankings is the equivalent of poking a roaring bear with a stick made of honey. Or asking Michael Scott to work alongside Toby Flenderson:

Only pussies & assholes do rankings.
Then Kobe is a pussy/asshole for caring about them, tbh.
and only TOSBs and rapists get butt-hurt over them.
He's still the top earner in NBA even at age 35 and with a fragile knee, which's the fact where he still gets his conceit from, but problem is money wont buy him any compliments from the pundits' mouthes
you, Brasky, you back stabbing , you.
aren't ring counts a form of rankings?
Rankings are subjective. Ring counts are a matter of fact. Don't be obtuse, 21.
you never said anything about subjectivity. all you said was rankings are for pussies and assholes.
How can he be in the top 25 when he's not even on the floor, tbh? He is worthless on the bench, per par.
25th was generous to begin with imho i wrote him off as soon as that thing tore
They really should drug test all the players ranked ahead of him. Those ranked behind him too.
How exactly am I a back stabber???
