#7 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops

[DirtySanchez]

People don't like looking at the big picture. Career....look at what these players did in their entire careers.

For the longevity of Kobe's career he has been a top ten player in the NBA (not counting earlier seasons). That's about 14 to 13 years give or take.
Other players to match that...Kareem, Wilt, Russel...maybe Jordan would of but he kept retiring so who knows. Longevity is huge....that's being a gym rat playing 82 games plus deep playoff runs and Kobe has plenty of those more then a while lost of players. And he is still there right now after how many seasons. He probably got another two three years tops in him. It'd from hard work and changing certain aspects of his game.
When all is said an done Kobe will be top 5.

Shaq

Lol funny how people switch up the criteria when kobe's name gets involved. Hilarious i tell ya. If this was based solely on peak play, shaq shouldve been top 5. Im going with kobe based off longevity, career, and accolades

[Nevaeh]

no... it is...

its like saying... its ok if wilt or bird is top 10

its not... and kobe is on their level

Dude, Kobe's dumb ass B-ball IQ is what keeps him so low on most people's lists. No one in most peep's top 10 lists have a rep for making their own fans cringe at their decision making like Kobe does. Don't you get it? He's the "dumb one" out of the guys that are usually listed in these type of threads. And he's dumb by choice, which makes it especially bad.

Typical agenda response.

You do not win titles and experience all the accolades you have in your career with low IQ. You want to talk shot selection the man goes for shots no other player would take...but you know what he can make them. Kobe leaves games with no bullets in his chambers that's always been his game. He is the greatest individual scorer since MJ.

With 2 whole scoring titles in 16 years of play. Chucker? yes. Scorer? Only when rules were changed to allow it to happen.


The fact that scoring is the only part of his game that gets talked about says it all.

LOL only on insidehoops is Wilt Chamberlain not top 5 dead or alive. This board is something else

Actually 1-6 is very close and interchangeable depending on what you value more. Each of those guys has a case to be number 1. So Wilt at 6 does not mean he is any less than the other 5. Just my 2 cents.

[Rubio2Gasol]

Magic Johnson in the top 5 is lolworthy.

Top 10 is debatable.

[Clutch]

Shaq

[BrickingStar]

Lmao kenneth is going insane just goes to show you when you think everything you believe is true and then it blows up when you find out what's reality. OP Shaq has won and it's not even close move on to number 8
