Some 17 year old punk told me today.....

[YorkHunt]

While I was schooling him in hoops, said "Im wearing shoes by the best player EVER to play basketball, Kobes"

I almost died. Told the kid you need to watch old basketball clips of Jordan, Jabar, Chamberlin, Robertson etc etc. Kobe isnt even top ten ever.

[convick]

Kobe is definitely top ten. Who the hell is Robert?

[YorkHunt]

Robertson, phone autocorrected

lol

Game was different back then. Its hard to compare players from different eras

All you can do is compare that player to the level of competition at that time. Kobe is definitely a top player in that sense.

Not so hard to imagine him at #1 all time

pretty sure there is very little if any video of Chamberlin playing basketball...

[Jeffie]

Your crazy if you dont think hes a top ten player of all time, Hes dominated a decade with far superior talent. Not only is he the most clutch athlete in history the guy is amazing to watch.

[YorkHunt]

I take it back he MAY be top ten...I dont think top five. To say Kobe is better than Jordan though is crazy

[Cuse0323]

He would most likely make my top 10 if I thought about it. An exaggeration possibly by the kid but could be debated. Not as bad as what an 8 year old said to me this past weekend, he basically called me a momma's boy but in a more hurtful way. He said I'm afraid, I just sit back and wait for what (mom's name) tells me to do. Little bastard.

[easysaid]

Russel looks real stiff, his size is probably how he dominated.

[tony_come]

Sloppier than a high school game. Todays bobcats would beat both of those teams hands down.

63 points against champ celtics? don't think so.

3 times best defensive player? not even close.

[daimoshokage]

Lebron is the greatest.. nuff said..

[chico2663]

oscar averaged a triple double for a year. the teams were so much better than because weren't as many teams. also lebron and kobe driving to the basket would of been given a shot to the chops. also you couldn't carry the ball, traveling was called and it wasn't a dunk-a-thon. teams play d.

[Killer_Demo]

kobe top 3...dude has been putting up great numbers since the 90's....when lebron can put up great numbers for 15+ years then maybe he will be considered.

[nyplayer33]

kobe bryant has been an awesome player..has the titles and won them without Shaq

[nyplayer33]

Lebron is awesome..but wasnt it like last year they said he couldnt win the big game..now he has won and is top 5 ever...ummmmmmmm

[thetrinity]

cant really take stuff before the 1980s seriously IMO. i give bill russell credit for being a great competitor moreso then a great player. kobe the best all time is a joke tho.

[PS3]

His kicks must have been sooo beautiful..
