If Kobe retired today, what would be his place on the all-time list?

[stylishstef89]

I've been wondering this for a while, because quite honestly I'm not even sure where Kobe would place on an all-time Lakers list. Which is kind ofamazing considering this is someone quite a few people consider to be the best they've seen since Micheal.

MJ
Wilt
Russell
Shaq
Magic
Bird
Kareem
Duncan

That's just a few people off the top I personally would place above Kobe on an all time list when you factor in things like accomplishments and so on. Ithink this warrants some discussion.

2,3,4, or 5.

Well good thing this isn't a player A > B thread... there's no way this could possibly get blown out of proportion.

Damn, you put all those people above Jordan?

 

[jordan supreme]

Behind Jordan, Oscar, Bird, Magic, Russell, and Wilt

4 Championships + MVP + Finals MVP + 11x All Star + 2x Scoring Champ + 7-Time First Team All NBA = top 10 player of all time

Can't say I disagree.

 

[frenchblue23]

He's top 10 IMHO.

The things that this man does, is sometimes overlooked.

When he hangs up those Nike Zoom Airs, he will be considered top 10 by the rest of the basketball world.

I'll be checking in to see the idiocy.

This is too early. Kobe won't even think about retiring for the next 7 years. The guy is a true competitor . He'd probably going to play into his mid40s

if he stay healthy

 

[Truth]

Top 10

2nd Best SG of all time

 

[MVP]

I say top 10 (in no particular order):

Magic
MJ
Wilt
Kareem
Russell
Larry
Duncan
Shaq
Oscar
Kobe

Top 3 Laker right now:
Magic
Kobe
Jerry

and if he wins another title/MVP/Finals MVP this year he'll move up even higher on the list for me.
