In 10 years, Kobe will be a consensus top 5 all-time, Lebron ? in 15.

[WockaVodka]

Kobe will never be considered top 5 other than casual fans and the media. Anyone who watched him or understand him will realize that he is clearly outside of it.

[longtime lurker]

The only way Kobe can get into top 5 would be to go on an insane 2-3 year stretch. I'm talking another back to back finals or 3 peat. With a finals MVP or 2 in there. Otherwise the top 5 is untouchable for a long looooong time

Too much ego. Just remember me in 10 years when the consensus will be reached.

would the forum still be up in 10 years?

[Punpun]

That'd change nothing. But yes, prolly.

I was just hoping someone would bump this thread if it does happen.

Unlikely but if Kobe leads his team to 2 more titles then yes he has a case for top 5.

I agree with this. If anything Kobe is more relevant now. I think when people take a step back after his career, look at the books, look at other players, they'll see just how damn hard it is to get in that top 5. Kobe just doesn't get into it. #10 at best IMO.

With 7 rings ? He'd be top 3. Borderline top 2.

All the old men take rings HEAVILY HEAVILY HEAVILY HEAVILY into account when they talk about their childhood heros they STILL haven't let go. Yet when it comes to modern players its basically "L0LzzZzzZ DuD KobbE sux BHEHEHEH Plzzz mak mE lYk MiiKe"
