It’s so hard to compare players from different eras but that seems like a reasonable top 20

My list would have Bird 7 and Wilt 6 but it seems like a reasonable list.

Glad people are coming to the realization Kobe isnt even top 10 all time. List is pretty spot on. I think KG is too high but besides that I'm cool with it.

Was Jordan’s era watered down?

I can’t find many(or any) of these top guys who Jordan beat.

He played against Bird, Magic, Shaq, Kareem, and Duncan

I think that's more top ten players than anyone else on the list.

1 MVP and 2 finals MVPs with mediocre efficiency numbers doesn't not equal top 10 player of all time.

No comment on this list specifically, at least MJ is 1. I still find it hard to believe people treat bleacher report like it is exists from what it was years ago.

The greatest shooter to ever live?

Steph:
Career PER - 23.5
PPG - 24.7
RPG - 4.7
APG - 6.4
SPG - 1.5
WS/48 - .196
BPM - 6.5


Kobe:
Career PER - 22.9
PPG - 25
RPG - 5.2
APG - 4.7
SPG - 1.4
WS/48 - .170
BPM - 4.6


I'll post other stats too, but to say he has "no business being ahead of Kobe" is ridiculous. It is certainly arguable.

DPBM is an absolute nothing stat. If y'all are really gonna argue Steph is even close to the same defender Kobe was, then you don't know basketball at all.

Kobe is one of the most overrated defenders of all time and only got mon those lists because they were trying to force him to be the next MJ.

He was a good, not great, defender.
