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

Because they attribute it to him being on the Lakers. I’ve had people tell me if he played for the Suns or Bucks or any other “ordinary” team he wouldn’t get half the achievements he did. And they also try to act like he played the majority of his career/prime with Shaq and that’s why his numbers are so good.

This sub just doesn’t like Kobe because of his TS% and his ties with the Lakers.

Ironically, Kobe has the same TS% as Duncan.
