U said guys above Kobe have better resumes?!? I only see 3 guys with comparable resumes to Kobe and that's MJ, Kareem, Magic... Every1 after that has holes in their arguments to justify against Kobe...

If y'all just don't like Kobe I understand but to say dudes have a better resume than Kobe is just off base..

That's why I'm not bout to debate with niggaz, if you look at what Kobe has accomplished it's hard to say why he ain't top 5

This.

 
Russ is the reason for the Celtics dynasties of the 50/60's, Russ is the reason the players around him were hall of famers, think of where Parker and Ginobili would be without Duncan because that's as good a comparison as it gets, do your history on him instead of just looking at stats and thinking that tells the whole story, do your history on Wilt and you'll figure out why he wasn't as great of a winner but a prolific stat stuffer, Russ would of been great in any era no he wouldn't win 11 championships but he dominated an era for an extended period and will always be the lord of the rings because of it therefore will always be on the mt Rushmore of basketball

the names I put ahead of him are all champions too what are you saying ??
 
Not as impressive and dominate over a long period like Russ, Keem was super talented but didn't win till Jordan retired and went through long droughts of no finals appearances, my top 5 consists of players who dominated over an extended period, always got the best out of their teammates and won or had their teams in contention to win consistently
 
Nothing wrong with top 10, it comes across as disrespect when comparing to other great players you consider better, but to me

MJ

Russ

Bron

Duncan

Magic

All consistently dominated their respective generations, got the the best out of their teammates and got the accolades to be mentioned amongst the top 5, 6-10 is harder

Bird

Kobe

Kareem

Shaq

Wilt

Keem

I'm not sure which one I'd leave off

He went to the finals in 86 and beat the showtime lakers when he had help...he won because he had help in 94 and 95 not because michael retired, he never lost in the playoffs against michael so saying he won because michael retired dont have nothing to do with it

That's why he's top "10"
 
MJ

Kareem

Kobe

Magic

Duncan

Off top, I favor wings over bigs. Basketball gives big men an inherent advantage just for being tall, so if a big and a guard are even, or close the guard gets the advantage in my opinion.

who the hell did Russell beat to be top 5 then...I'll wait

hakeem beat Magic and Kareem, David,Ewing, Barkley ,Drexler ,Shaq all this while only playing with another all star on his team on 2 occasions only (sampson in 86 and drexler in 95)

Let that be anybody from this era. Niggas would be calling him a bum
