Is Kobe Bryant Top 5 All Time? (List ur top 5)

[its....JOHN B]

You idiots act like "superteam" is an actual NBA term and not some shit the media made up to market that Heat team, and now there's rules as to what makes up a "superteam" lol, if those Laker teams don't meet your bullshit criteria as to what a superteam is fine....but they still were better teams

I'm a Lakers fan, of course I feel like we would have waxed that ass, so you'll get little argument from me there

You're also biased in this debate

 

[CashmoneyDux]

Niggas still in here crying about Kobe I see

 

[joeyfkncrakk]

If Kobe was on the same team as Mugsey Bogues y'all would say, he had to much help!!! Gtfoh y'all wanted Kobe to not have any pieces to work with yet he got 5 rings... Lebron literally gm's every team he plays on to make it a qualified SUPER TEAM only got 3/7 rings and y'all still give him a green light for top 5... Y'all never make any sense to me... Just say this with me ... KOBE CANT BE DENIED!

I'm just wondering if anyone's opinion has changed because of anything said here.

Not bout to argue with no butt hurt space jammers.

Kobe played the top 2 greatest defensive teams the league has ever seen in the deepest most competitive western conferences the league ever seen. Where you could win 50 games and not be guaranteed a playoff birth. Unheard off. He did it with a trash playoff avging 12ppg super soft choking wimp in Gasol who was only good during the first title run and the Lakers were already the 1seed before he got there)

1. Kobe (everything Jordan had skillwise and more better playmaker and shooter beat better teams with less help)

2. Jordan (played in a watered down expansion league with his own super team that won 2less games without him. Lost to Shaq on the magic)

3. Shaq (most dominant ever should be undisputed goat but got lazy)

4. Kareem (could be switched with Shaq)

5. Magic (should have lost 2 rings to Isiah)

6. Wilt (the league changed the rules to stop him unlike how they changed em 2 help Jordan)

7. Zeke (only person with winning record against Jordan bird and magic)

8. LeBron (will be 3rd soon even though he is one of the most mentally soft on the list)

9. Hakeem

10. Bird

You are a fucking idiot.

 

[CashmoneyDux]

Kobe wasn't even the best player on his team FOH

 

[KamPushMe]

Nigga stop

Shaq wouldn't have 3 peat without Kobe

Vice versa

 

[pounds_of_purp]

Top five

K.a.j

LeBron

Jordan

Malone

Wilt

 

[Mumo wa MauMau]

In order

MJ - No explanation needed

Duncan - He brought 5 championships in tiny San Antonio. He saved Pop & turned him into a top 3 Coach in basketball history. His aura of greatness rubbed on Parker and Manu who later on flourished unlike if they had been drafted by other teams. Duncan was the system. And Pop was the engineer. Broke up Shaq/Kobe Lakers and Heat Big 3.

Bill Russell - 11 rings is too many no matter what era he played in. He is Boston.

Hakeem Olajuwon - GOAT defender and won a Championship without homecourt and prior to that with bums.

Kareem - Numbers don't lie. Plus longevity

 

[ericb4prez]

Who won more without the other

 

[Peace_79]

The one with much more passion, work ethic, and longevity.

Of course that's Bean. In fact, he beats MOST players in that regard and it's helped him become an All-Time great.

No one can take that away from him.

However, it's well documented that outside of his prime (and even within it) Shaq's laziness held him back from having some of the most gaudy stats and one of the greatest careers in NBA history.

We aren't speaking on passion and longevity exclusively; more important factors include a player's level of dominance and greatness.

And when's you talk about that and bring up Shaq's name -

No one can take that away from him.

 

[DOPEdweebz]

Top 10, but not top 5

 

[BangEm_Bart]

Of shooting guards, yes.

 

[A Talented One]

Kobe has to be top 5.

Smh @ people denying Kobe top 5 status and yet putting Magic in their top 5.

Magic doesn't belong anywhere near the top 5.

Whoa bro... I was all in when I saw the first paragraph then I continued to read and got disgusted... Stfu nigga

 

[joeyfkncrakk]

Kobe is top 5,

I feel like the Kobe haters bum rushed the poll to kill the discussion... It started at like 20 No's, to my initial yes and since the people have gotten to analyze the case it's been about a 55/45 debate
