You're right, their stretches were probably better

I'm amazed that I'm the first person to mention this

At least top 7 IMO. No way he's below grant hill, west and Malone.
And if trolling, this was an alright premise but too outrageous of a list

The biggest drawback for me is that he is very inefficient offensively. This is who I have ahead of him in no particular order.

Can we throw Penny Hardaway in there too?


Pre-injury of course.

After the first six seasons of his career, before his ankle injury, Hill had a total of 9,393 points, 3,417 rebounds and 2,720 assists. Oscar Robertson, Bird and LeBron James are the only three players in league history to eclipse these numbers after their first six seasons.

His averages were 21.5 pts 7.8 rebs 6.5 assists and 2 steals a game

Kobe is barely in my top ten. I have no problem with people leaving him out of the top ten, even though I think they are wrong in doing that.

Yes Kobe is top 10 of all time. Closest thing to Jordan there will ever be. Doesn't mean I think he is #2 behind Jordan but he is definitely top 10.

On that list, I would put Kobe ahead of Grant Hill, Karl Malone, and Dr J for sure.

You could make a fair argument for Kobe over any player on your list, but Jordan, Wilt, and Kareem.

Kobe's sustained excellence is by far the most under appreciated aspect of his by the good basketball posters on here. His endurance is only maybe matched by Kareem and Malone.

At his peak, Kobe was fricking ill. His career as a whole is definitely top ten. Put it this way, if you could have any player for their ENTIRE CAREER, then who would your team the most? Surely, Kobe is one of the first ten taken.
