I think that article was written in a way that was harsher than Kobe deserves.
But give or take a few spots, 15th seems like a fair rating. I could see an argument for 12th.
My issue in all these neverending silly arguments isn’t with Kobe. He was a great player. It’s with his stans who overrate him. There’s no shame at all in being a top 12-15 player ever.
