I would say
1. Kareem
2. Jordan
3. Hakeem
1. Kareem
2. Jordan
3. Hakeem
How is it hating to say Duncan isn't top 3 all-time? This overvaluation of Tim Duncan because he played on a team that is still winning 60+ games after he retired is ridiculous. Duncan was a good player. But in terms of skill and talent he doesn't hold a candle to the likes of Hakeem Olajuwon and Kobe Bryant.
NBA players respect SKILL. And that is why Robert Horry has those 3 dudes in his top 3 because there is no question that in terms of skill, Kobe, MJ, and Hakeem are the top 3.
Why in the fukk would T-Mac cross his mindif we're just going by skills, then all these all-time lists would be completely different, and we'd include people in the top 10, whose careers weren't worthy of top 50.
people just want to make exceptions for certain players.
if kobe is 3rd on your list, then T-Mac should be 1st or 2nd. I bet T-Mac didn't even cross his mind.
fukkbois been salty AF since the finals
It's clear Mr. Big Shot values winners
Ok.....it's Kobe over Kareem now....so it's Kobe over Bill Russell now............so it's Kobe over Wilt nowHe won 7 rings and Jordan has 6. So its not that outlandish he would pick 2 nikkas who helped him win 7 rings and a guy who won 6 rings himself.
Regular fans might undervalue Hakeem and Kobe but NBA players don't. There is a reason Kobe and Hakeem are the two former NBA players that every young player goes to in the off-season to train with. Its because Kobe and Hakeem are the two most skilled players in the history of basketball. No perimeter player has ever had an arsenal of moves like Kobe and no big that has ever played had an arsenal of moves like Hakeem.
They belong right beside Jordan as top 3 players in NBA history.
Ok.....it's Kobe over Kareem now....so it's Kobe over Bill Russell now............so it's Kobe over Wilt now
GTFOH......
I don't know what's more pathetic....the constant need to bolster you all's lame opinion that Kobe is a better player than Bron chimin in on every word any current or ex NBA player may say to support said opinion.....or THE COMPLETE disregard of players CLEARLY better than Kobe just to support Kobe......shyt is wack as fukk, fukk outta here
