Hornets: David Robinson > Kobe Bryant

[DAF86]

If we are being really, really honest, tbh.

[AussieFanKurt]

Not your best

[Bynumite]

Another take from the same got that brought us:

Manu>Dirk
Messi will ring in Russia
Real doesn't need Ronaldo

[Arcadian]

It's closer than many people have admitted. They're both arguably in the 11-20 range.

Kobe with Caron Butler and Lamar odom leads to missed playoffs and first round exits.
Robinson with Avery Johnson and Vinny del negro makes the playoffs every year with 50+ wins.

That's fair. I say 8-12 for both.
But I don't care much.

[Killakobe81]

*Also I don't rank wilt Oscar or Russell otherwise they would be lower

[Killakobe81]

BTW it also has Shaq over Duncan...

[DAF86]

That's fair. Shaq in his prime is a top 3 player of all time.

[Millennial_Messiah]

As a man and person, absolutely yes, not even close.

As a player and NBA career... nope.

Who the came up with that list? Rick Barry at 50, Isiah Thomas at 47? As much as I love MVPau, how can he be above both of those players? and Dantley above all of them?

Ray Allen > Gervin?

Moses at 23? Under pedo? Durant over Garnett and Dirk? Even I can't rank Robinson over Hakeem. Curry already in the top 10? Shaq over Duncan?

This is the stupidest list I have ever seen.

[InRareForm]

Drob would have been loving this NBA today if he played today. His numbers would be even better

Someone that left bias aside and paid more attention to impact metrics. I think it's a great list, tbh.

Many folks will have a problem with a list that leaves years of convention aside and goes by what numbers indicate is the true impact of a player. You about Barry or Isiah Thomas being too low but others, for example, would be seething mad that Iverson didn't even make it to the top 50. I saw Iverson play for years, he's one of my favourite players to watch, but I know he was always overrated as , and that it's probably OK for a list of top 50 players of all-time to not include him.

Not sure Dantley was an impact player though

If only metrics are involved, then Duncan > Shaq. the four major advanced stats in WS, WS/48, VORP and BPM all had Duncan over Shaq, and Robinson is top 5 all time material.

James Harden should also be significantly higher as well.

I guess he used a mixture of different metrics (for example, he mentioned something about taking each players' 10 years prime) and also tried to contextualize the numbers. If it were only for metrics Manu might end as a top 20 player of all-time, but you also need to consider he didn't play as many minutes as most other guys on this list.

Well duh

Eh David is a terrerist bible thumping activist

I don't like the bible, but he's a pro-American and not a womanizer/rapist.

Is this really controversial?

Build one team around Robinson and another around Kobe, which will be better?

[Spurtacular]

It's closer than many people have admitted. They're both arguably in the 11-20 range.

But neither are that high, tbh.
