Where do you rank Kobe now in the Top 10, and where would you rank him if he went 7-0 instead of 5-2 in the playoffs? (alien.top)

Honorable Mentions Of His Resume (for context)

5 rings
2x FMVP
1x MVP
4x All Star MVP
18x All Star (19x if including 1999 lockout) 3rd most in NBA history
11x All Star 1st Team
12x All Defensive
9x All Defensive 1st Team (tied with MJ for most in history)
2x scoring champion
4th most points all time
2nd most assists all time (guard)
Has beaten the most 50-win playoff teams in NBA history

implication: going 7-0 means he beats the Pistons in '04, and beats the Celtics in '08. The '08 win would mean he would 3-peat instead of a back to back.

Kobe is not in my Top 10, I would probably have him at 12 now that I believe Curry has passed him. My list is different from most though as I don't value Championships in a TEAM sport when discussing Individuals as much as some do.

LeBron

Wilt

Kareem

Magic

Bird

Shaq

Hakeem

Duncan

Russell

Then 11 is probably Curry and I could put Kobe 12.

this list follows no logic.

duncan over russell? Lebron over MJ, but Wilt over Kareem? what is your metric for making this shit list?

curry over kobe? Kobe has the most All Defensive 1st Team nominations in history, curry doesn't even have a single All Defense nomination.

MJ 2. LBJ 3. Kareem 4. Russell 5. Wilt 6. Magic 7. Duncan 8. Shaq 9. Bird 10. Kobe imo tho 8-10 can vary depending on my mood lol

If Durant/Curry can let a team to another title, they start to push Kobe or Bird out of top 10. If either of them somehow wins 2 more titles then yeah, Bird or Kobe out of top 10

no fucking way you just said Durant/Curry can push Kobe/Bird out of the top 10 with one more ring. nephew delete...

I know that’s why I said “start to” and said 2 would do it

[–] TripleDoubleWatch@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He's not in my top 10 now.

If he went 7-0 in the Finals, he'd be in my top 5, most likely.

This guy's post history is pure hypothetical autism

[–] Poopscooper696969@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I currently have him at #4. If he went 7-0, and honestly could have more rings if CP3 was a Laker, I’d put him at #1

2nd most assists all time (guard)

Can you clarify this a little, does this mean to say that Kobe has the second most assists all time by a guard?

[–] Clear-Connection1012@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Bro, please. Do something else with your energy.

[–] Aurazor-@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

He's in the top 75 all-time easy

[–] 480AHole@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

No where near top 10. Barely in the top 25.

[–] EvergreenVH@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Kobe is fringe top 10 at BEST. He’s probably more in the 12-15 range.

Didn’t you make a post earlier saying that Lebron isn’t in the GOAT conversation? Lmao
