I go MJ, Kobe, Lebron personally.

MJ and Kobe just had different levels of competitiveness. And Kobe's first ring without Shaq was the most impressive of any of the Championships all these guys have had, imo.

I don't get the Kobe love in this conversation personally.

People pretend that Pau Gasol wasn't one of the best players in the league during htat second run.

Kobe is an all timer but doens't deserve to be in the conversation with MJ/Lebron.

Soon to dominate the league - Multiple titles coming to OKC in the next 5 years.

Disagree. It took Roids for Bonds to pass Mays. That's ignoring the 300 lb Babe Ruth in the room.

And as I said, Kareem and Jordan represent interesting points in basketball history. LeBron has blown everyone else out of the water.

We can take it up in the baseball section if you want. But I don't give a **** about Ruth hitting homers against only whites with pitches he would see on a weekly basis. Mays took greenies along with every other player of that era. Don't let the media fool you bro. They all took performance enhancers.

Your opinion is out the door if you think Kobe belongs anywhere near the top 3. He's not even top 3 since 2000.
 
1) Jordan
2) LeBron
3) Kareem
4) Magic
5) Bird
6) Wilt
7) Russell
[ Jokic when it’s all said and done??]
8) Duncan
9) Kobe
10) Curry
11) Shaq
11) Olajuwon
13) Durant

My list that no one asked for. Any given day I’d probably order the 9-13 guys differently.

I’d rank Duncan hire (Wilt lower) and Curry higher (Kobe lower). I would put Magic ahead of Kareem but what you have is probably more consensus.

TBH, I think I prefer your list. If I was starting a team, I'd rather have Duncan than Wilt, and I'd rather have Curry than Kobe. Magic vs Kareem would be tough.
 
Yeah - No slight on Lebron for not being able to beat the defending champs in the first round in his age 39 season.

Lebron is all time great regardless. He's just not hte GOAT.
 
If LeBron losing to the defending champs in 1st round in his age 39 season is fair play…

…Jordan averaged 20/6/3 (to LeBron’s 26/7/8) in his age 39 season and failed to qualify for the 1st round in a historically bad Eastern Conference

The person who thinks Kobe is top 3 all time has the nerve to say anyone else is out of their mind.

Since 2000 Kobe is behind at least. LeBron, Paul, Duncan, Garnett, and Dirk. At least. ANd I'm sure newer guys like Durant, Harden and Steph will get past him before hitting 37 (his retirement age)

Kobe is the most overrated player of all time in general. He's basically basketball's Derek Jeter.
