Exactly. We already knew what was going to happen with these lists. I'm not shocked at Skip's list since he's been a Bron hater since day 1, but Shannon needs to be called out more for his bullshyt. When he would show up on First Take he always said Kareem & Kobe were his 1A/1B top 5 players, now he has Kobe down at 9th??? :mjlol:

Nick Wright also had Kobe in his top 5 around 2012 before he got on TV and became a mouthpiece for Klutch Sports. Now he's got Kobe in the bottom of the top 10.

It's like the rule for Bron's mouthpieces in the media to talk down Kobe even if they thought highly of him in the past.

If Kobe didn’t die he would’ve been booted out the top 10 by everyone but laker stans. 20 years and only 1 MVP? :francis:

So former NBA players are Lakers stans now?

Back in 2017-2018 when Kobe was still alive you had NBA players like Iverson, T-Mac, Vince, Shaq, Matt Barnes, Stephen Jackson, Jim Jackson, etc. in the media saying Kobe should be in the GOAT debate ahead of LeBron. A.I. famously said "did they forget"?

So like most Bron stans you are completely lying. The only people who actively try to downplay Kobe's career are non-athletes in the media. All that happened since Kobe died is they toned down their disrespect. The former players however haven't changed their tune. They were singing Kobe's praises before his death. All Kobe's death did was show haters like you just how much he was revered by people around the world.

I keep telling y’all until they start talking about a top 10 wing/guard and a top 10 big man there’s no reason for these lists. It’s like choosing between Brady and Rice as the best NFL player

I agree with you. I personally have a hard time ranking bigs against guards which is why I prefer ranking by tiers.

The Spurs disrespect is disgusting. And I hate Texas.

Tony Parker not making the 75 list was :scust:

Spurs were a problem for the West for almost like 10+ years straight, similar to the Cheatriots in the NFC. Duncan was a huge part of that.

Skip's list isn't too bad. I'd just move Kobe to #5, Tim #6, and swap out Bill to #8 & Larry to #7. Lebron & Shaq are also swapped out with Lebron being #3 & Shaq #9. As a connoisseur of Lebron slander, he's not 9th. And hell, Shaq needs to move up to #8 in front of Russel, too.

Which is unfortunate cause he's an undeniable top 6 player all-time. Like Wilt I think as time passes people will forget his dominance. Wilt was unacknowledged as the unanimous GOAT until Jordan in the 90s and now most don't even have him in the top 5. It's downright crazy.

I’m watching it happen with my own eyes and it’s crazy to see.
