There's nothing disingenuous at all, he averaged 23.7ppg over his career, is that not a fact? You're coming up with all these other nonsensical stipulations to fit your argument and cherry picking. I'm going to guess you feel Iguodala was a elite defender his first 2 seasons in the league, even though after 06 them big games from Kobe stopped completelyI could even bring up Kobe shooting 38% for his career against Arron Afflalo and you'll try to spin that.
How is your claim closer to being true, you said he's the 2nd best perimeter player ever, what about Magic? You're probably not even talking the 5th best player either, cause to get him in the top 5 you have to eliminate Wilt and Russell from the list, and if he's the 2nd best perimeter player that means Magic is below him leaving just Kareem and JordanJust by process of elimination you have him no worse than 3rd best ever.
How the fukk am I cherrypicking when I specifically designated I consider his prime to be from (05 - 09). Did I magically know that you would come through and bring up Iggy? I'm stating the facts as they pertain to the time frame I laid out well before any players name was mentioned. Nobody is trying to "spin" anything, I said what I said and I believe it. This is why I don't typically engage you, because a situation occurs where I made a statement with clear parameters well before you were even thought of, you address me and when I point out the specifics of what I said originally all of the sudden everything is nonsensical.
In no particular order
MJ
Kareem
Magic
Kobe
Debate the last spot between Shaq, Wilt and Russell.
And for the record, yes I do think that Kobe is a better player than Magic.
