Summary. Best Laker of the 21st century = Lebron James
Don't quite make sense. Duncan or Curry should be in the Top2.
I still get a kick at him furiously stewing over whether to take that 17th down from the NBA Shelf, or, not. tee, hee.
"He chose wisely." -White man.
Then..."Shut up and dribble! And make me turkey pot pie!" Whack!!!
Tim's 1st ring was in 1999 season. Kobe has 5 rings since 2000. KD changed Curry's legacy.
Where is Paul Pierce?
Also, it’s interesting that the entire list only has two players whove won more than one ring without another player on this list.
Artest froze him on that fake drive back from '10.
He ain't thawed yet, amb.
Nevermind.
Thank you.
Enough Anthony Davis
Best of Rest
Rose
Billups
Wallace
Bosh
Howard
Pierce should have a spot anything 18 down. Underrated
Duncan still won 2 regular season MVPs and 4 rings as the best player on his team compared to Kobe's 1 (robbed CP3) and 2 respectively. Duncan pretty easily ahead of Kobe.
Curry and Shaq the same thing.
It should be:
1-Lebron
2-Duncan
3-Curry
4-Shaq
And then the rest.
Idk which is more egregious, Kirby at 2 or Donkey at 22
...you ever failing to stop the Suns from getting thru.
Well that's incorrect. Try again next time, ESPN.
Easy selection for the most underappreciated player of his generation.
McGrady had the highest peak, but Pierce and Howard were clearly the most egregious snubs and it's obvious why (not justifying it): The former had a messy breakup with BSPN and the latter has had off court legal issues.
Death really boosted Kobe's legacy. Prior to death he was not even considered a top 10 player all time now there are lists ranking him as high as number 2. Any list that has Draymond in the top 25 is garbage. Might as well include Robert Horry on the top 25 list if you are going put Draymond since he was also a high-end role player that won 5 rings during the 21st century.
Well, he'd raped, but after that deathly hillside collision rape was of nary consequence. It was like it'd had never happened.
But MSM will revisit said rape in the near to middlin' future when a fresh dollar and a brand new dime can be gleaned from it. All the major affiliates along the line will join in with hushed, serious tones about it, moderating the rape with the hillside collision still details. They'll make a fortune!
ESPN top 75 put out just a couple years ago Duncan 8 and Kobe 9 and Curry behind that. This does not make any sense at all.
The rape was forgotten the second the lakers won a le in 09.
Please. That's when MSM doubled down on it. "Kobe won, but, the shadow of rape lingers."
Made a fortune!
Show me, Kobe was exonerated the second he won. The rape was getting minimized when the Lakers got MVPau and started to be good again.
