Having Bran unreasonably and incorrectly so high was just a marketing scheme to keep the average fan enamored with the current NBA; having a top 3 player of all time (BS) in the current league helps sell the sport.
Everyone with any sense whatsoever knows Kobe is easily top 10 and likely top 5; and Bran is not even top 10.
You can't stack two teams with three franchise players on each team in the weakest conference in NBA history; lose a majority of your finals; choke time after time...and expect to be a top 10 player of all time.
What Bran did by stacking those teams in THAT conference is unprecedented and cowardly; everyone knows it.

ESPN and their cronies can try to hide the two super teams Bran cowardly ran to, but real fans will never forget.
It will never be excused.

Of course its click-bait. That's 90% of ESPN's content nowadays anyway.
ESPN spent a decade putting all their chips on Lebron as the next GOAT so they see his stock falling hard with losing in the finals, Curry becoming the big star, and Kobe getting lots of love in his retirement year. ESPN got scared and put out their list to try and recoup some of their investment into Lebron and their own credibility.

I do agree that LeBron #3 was just for clickbait though.

You are like ESPN. You just create threads for attention seeking, and whoring, but unlike ESPN you don't earn money in this forum. I feel bad for your wife, and daughters.

Kobe as high as 12 is more of a click bait, this chucker is more like 25th

You keep saying this, yet you are another piece of shit Lebron alt that no one cares about. The fact that you are using a person's real name on a message board says more about your pathetic existence than any horrible insult post you can spend all day concocting.

For a poster that no one cares about he sure seems to have gotten your panties in a bunch. :oldlol:

I don't agree.
With Kobe's farewell tour, they could have milked it more by making Kobe top 5.
You have to understand that before the Lakers were sweaped by the Mavs, here on ISH, Kobe wasn't on most user's top 10 list. (As hard to believe as it might sound now.) And then Kobe got sweaped, and then there was this really aggressive push by the Kobe stans on ISH.
Repeat something enough, it slowly becomes reality.
And I remember being really amazed how Kobe just got sweaped, really bad, and he's now getting rewarded with being on the top ten list of most posters.
ESPN and Sports Illustrated is not ish, and so their list is not influenced by that aggressive push, and sounds like a top ten of old.

Honestly, why make such a fuss about it? There were lots of wacky rankings in that list. I don't think Kobe's ranking was out of line, but it sure bent a lot of his fans out of shape. It's not that serious.

People that actually love the game and love the integrity of competition are upset.
We hate that video game Bran can concoct two separate super teams with three franchise players in an already weak conference and still get respected. (Or at least, people pretend to respect him for their own reasons)

I also feel LeBron was too high on the list, but I also thought a lot of other current players were too high. Nonetheless, it's just a list at the end of the day. I thought it was pretty weird to publish he list during a season, but it certainly seems to have evoked a lot of conversation.
