The only argument is he had the closest play-style to MJ, that's it. Their stats, efficiency, results, etc. are wayyy off.
He was 12th all time in 2015. And now 14th all-time.
He is tiers below Jordan, LeBron, Kareem, and those guys.
Why even compare Kobe to either LeBron or MJ? :confusedshrug:

Kobe is one of the greatest out there no matter what you trolls are saying.
Better than Jordan and LBJ though? No way in hell.

LeBron surpassed him in 2013 when he won his 2nd NBA finals mvp.

2001 untill 2013, his numbers definitely weren't "way off" to championship years MJ.
Wasn't allowed to stat pad from day one like others.

Kobe is in zero actual GOAT discussions. He is a literal worse version of MJ so he has zero chance.
He is a top 8-10 player of all time though. No way you can put him out of the top 10 at this point.

Kobe is not in the GOAT discussion. He shouldn't be either. He is not in the top 5 all time. It's no shame. He was the best in the world at one point for a few years. Won 5 rings. Played as well as he possibly could. He was not as talented as some others were (physically, like LeBron os Shaq, or just pure basketball talent like Magic or Bird). He (Kobe) still managed to become a great great player. Mostly because he worked his ass off.
You may argue he is not top 10. Doesn't mean shit if he is number 9 or number 14. So what? If you were a Laker fan in his 20 years playing there, you were very well served. There was emotion, drama, some huge games, many wins, etc. I personally have Kobe in the top 10... borderline. But I have no problem with someone arguing he is 'only' number 15. All time. Like... ALL time.
Get back to me guys when you are the best in your state/country for any given time. Or when you crack the top 100 in your state/country for any given time in ... whatever.

Let's go with this idea. He won't be. Okay. Then what? Should we feel worse? Will any of the good moments we had watching him play go away? Should they just go away as we look back? What exactly is you think going to happen?

He could be called 16B instead of 12B

Same as I do. Interesting. You are known as a Kobe-hater and I'm known as a Kobe-stan. And we both have him borderline top 10. Why do you think that is? (I have an idea as to why, but I'd like to hear your opinion first.)

the players in the top10 have physical advantages over him. work ethic only takes you so far when you're up against shaq lebron 7foot duncan MJ wilt 6'9 guard magic etc

You misunderstood. Thing I asked is this:
If you and I both think Kobe is borderline top 10, why is one of us thought of as a Kobe-hater and the other one as a Kobe-stan?

The GOAT discussion is between LeBron and MJ with Kareem thrown in every now and then
Everyone else is irrelevant

I would say anywhere from 6-10 is where Kobe ranks currently.

I love kobes skills but I dont like his attitude. Ill build around duncan first over him. But lebron? He doesnt have the attitude and skills. And the result speaks for itself. Could only win with superteams. The GOATs for me are the top 10 players I would build around. And a guy who needs superteams is not on my list. Id build around dirk first before I build around lebron.
