so if you ranked a top 10,would you rank your own or just copy his? That's my point that you avoided.

Of course I would make my own, but I would certainly be interested in Jerry West's top 10.

The post I quoted that you followed up on stated that if West said you're top 10,your top 10,that's the point at hand.

Not really. It is just one piece in a long line of statistical, game watching, and opinions from a variety of basketball experts who tend to put Kobe in the top ten.

Personally, I think the opinion of the guy who scouted Kobe and had to have him out of high school probably knows an infinite more about Kobe and his game than either of could imagine.

You're sure of THAT? I can't even take that serious, fwiw. That's a ridiculous assertion to be that certain of.

Why even have fricking discussions if you are always going to bring that up?

We may as well may be discussing the existence of god if you are just to say "how can you prove that" every time and dismiss everything not presented in a statistical context.
