Kobe is the best now kinda by default. He's at least 3 years younger than the rest. To hold the others' decline against them is kinda dumb, Kobe will be there in a few years.

Plus he and Jeter both have 5 rings.

Tiger is way younger for a golfer than kobe is for a basketball player. 35-40 is prime golfing years for a lot of golfers.

The thing that really matters is games played, not age IMO. Counting playoffs, Olympics, etc., Kobe has probably played close to 19 seasons of basketball. His athletic and defensive declines are noticeable, but he could probably average 20ppg on 45% shooting til he's 40. If he wants to play, he'll still be a top player at 37.

Lewis' longevity is remarkable for a football player. How many non specialists have played 17 years with that much success? Favre? Emmitt? Any others?
