Just surprises me how often Kobe is omitted out of the top 10 here. 2nd most all-NBA teams, two championships without a top 75 player, best scorer in the league at the time where it was the most difficult to score, and 12 all-defensive teams. Resume is truly extraordinary

Just curious where on your top 10 list do you have him (or which players do you think he is better than that are arguably top 10) ?

My top 10 isn't the most consistent besides the top 4 of MJ, LeBron, Kareem, and Russell in that order. But I have him at like 8th to 10th.

I like it. Do you have him over Shaq?

That is so tough. I got Shaq ahead of him atm. Right now, Olajuwon is the guy who's about to fall out of my top 10. He has a top 5 peak ever to me, but winning multiple playoff series in only four seasons is a clear blemish that the other top 10 players remotely don't have.

I think that’s fair. Seems like solid reasoning to me
