if 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.
TMac was skilled but not as skilled as :childplease:
He might have had 'potential' to be a better player because he was more physically gifted. But he wasn't as skilled

The Truth
None of the criticisms of TMac have anything to do with skills.

In a pure skills discussion, you can't bring up his injuries, lack of playoff success, lazy eye, or untailored suits.
And I didn't say it did...

Skill wise, T-Mac still wasn't seeing Kobe even with the height advantage. You might as well throw AI, VC, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce in the mix as well if you gonna try to bring up T-Mac. They were all rivals to Kobe in their primes and Kobe bested them all based on his skill especially when the athleticism faded.

I agree, offensively T-Mac was up there but thats it.

Oh....Kareem years only consisted of the Lakers.....I didn't know that .....you disrespectful idiot:childplease:


He had 1 title without Magic, Kobe got 2 without Shaq:yeshrug:. Kareem had multiple HOF teammates, Kobe never did. Kobe beat a Celtics team that had 3 HOF's and Kobe had Pau, a borderline Euro HOF:mjlol:

I mean its not like Kareem isn't top 10, but Kobe is just better. TBH I'd put Kareem over Hakeem in Horry's list. I'd say MJ, Kobe, Magic, Kareem, Bron are the best 5 players ever if you really wanna keep it 100. But he still aint better than the Mamba:hubie:

Breh.....Kobe got three of his rings playin wit the most dominant big man and some may argue a top three player all time himself coupled wit Shaq.......not only Bron but really no other player can say they got that advantage. When shaq left LA, nikkas wanted Kobe to go, not Shaq.....coli stay revision historians. I'm not gonna get into the without shaq then what arguement bout Kobe...still, I give Kobe top 7.....but numerically not top 3 overall. (And rings ain't what this is all about either)

First off Kobe got more without Shaq than Shaq got without him and bailed out Shaq 3894732847321047324 times in the 4th while Shaq was rendered useless due to poor FT shooting or foul trouble. Secondly, nikkas wanted Kobe to go but who cares? Funny you bring that up, because the Lakers got rid of EVERYBODY, started completing from scratch with Kobe and got 2 more titles. Name another nikka who's franchise literally put together 14 new players around 1 guy and only 4 years later back in the Finals? Top 7 is good for Kobe too, clearly you respect him a lot as well:salute:
