Kobe should retire. He had a great run. Top 5 of all time, with 5 rings and better resume than bronria:applause:

Top 12 alltime, he should quit before then. Outside of a minority of obsessed fans no one really enjoys watching him regularly and all he is doing is failing to play hero.

Everyone has their own rankings, Kobe is in the 9-12 range in mine.

Does that annoy you?

Possibly not. But I think it annoys him that I have Hakeem in my top 5. :D

My man fresh kid and I have agreed to disagree on him though in the past.

Hakeem was an absolute beast, but he is in my 5-10 range.
If he had a healthy Ralph Sampson for longer I could see him in my top 5 quite easily though.

LeBron will NEVER surpass him.


He needs at least 2 more rings to even be in the conversation.

Kobe had Shaq. LBJ had Bosh and Wade in the weakest conference in the history of the NBA and only went 2 for 4.

[Dragic4Life]

Good.

[Human Error]

Why do Kobe Bryant fans tend to be Carmelo Anthony fans tend to be Stephon Marbury fans? Fans of a ball hog recognizing other ball hogs.

lol so naive. ISH is going to be arguing about Kobe for eternity.

fixed

[Real14]

fixed
:coleman:

[Hey Yo]

Its reverse psychology.
The more people that say he should/will retire... the longer Kobe will play
Just not in a Lakers uniform if Kobe chooses to continue to play. That's what Mitch is implying
