Kobe's top 5 of all time
« on: June 21, 2013, 10:50:53 AM »
“It’s not very difficult for me. I’d go Magic, Jordan, Bird, Russell and Jabbar.

[…]

“I will say as the years go on people really forget how great Larry Bird was,” Bryant said. “He was ridiculous. And I grew up in LA — just like everyone else here — hating his guts. Dude — the guy was just money.”

He dominated the ABA league and wasted some years til he got to the NBA.

Russell was a twink, I'm skeptical how he would've have done in the 80s up til now.

Those Celtics team had the best players and there weren't many teams back then....

He's in my top 10, my favorite player of all time! Got to sit on the floor of the Spectrum and watch his magic with the sixers in 1977! Met him several times the epitome of class/cool!

I'm a big Olajuwon fan but he is a guy who is remembered as being better than he actually was.  This is largely because of the stat geek invasion that has taken place because of the internet.  Hakeem was a very talented, very versatile player but he was not a dominant player.  Michael Jordan retired and allowed Hakeem's Rockets to squeak by for a couple of titles.  Olajuwon was not a dominating player night in and night out.  His play was inconsistent.  He would be a god one night and worth shit the next.  He's better on paper than he was in the games.

Umm NO... NEVER Won a ring = automatically excludes him from this list...

"Hakeem the Dream" is actually underrated!  Ask Shaq about him.... This guy was a proven winner!  Did everything on both ends of the court!! and might I add..  HAD LONGEVITY!  Very consistent throughout his career and proved himself in the finals!! Bringing an 8th seeded, injury plagued team to the finals and won it all!!!

Reggie is def a Top 50 player of all-time but has NEVER proven himself when the time mattered most. Exceptional player that was definitely one of the most dangerous clutch shooters.. Top 10 should be a list of closers who dominated the game...

You forget how he dominated David Robinson, Young Shaq, and Alonzo Mourning during their Primes!!!  This was the true Big Man Era!!  He used aesthetics and fundamentals of the game rather than just brute force!... AND HE COULD HIT FREE THROWS!

There's a good reason why Kobe and Lebron asked Hakeem to help solidify their Post(Back to the Basket) Game... Incredibly High BBall IQ and He was clutch several times in the playoffs and finals!

Can't use that argument......that would be like saying what if Bill Walton would have stayed healthy.

Hakeem was better than Ewing and Ewing was a great player.
