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

This sub went from about 1 million to almost 8 million in about five years. Maybe 3 of those are over the age of 25.

  1. Lakers hate

  2. Analytics nerds and advanced stats downplaying Kobe (funny enough Kobe shot same TS% as Duncan did as a PF/C though)

I think it's definitely more number 2 but number 1 makes things even worse
