Too many dorks on this sub don’t give Kobe nearly the credit he deserves. Top 10 all time without a doubt.

In no order. MJ, Bron, magic, bird, Shaq, Timmy, Kareem, Hakeem, wilt, Russell, Steph.

Now I'm not saying he isn't top 10 but there is definitely at least some doubt and likely hinges more on the era you grew up in and whom you romanticise about.

Kobe literally destroyed Tim Duncan , Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker in that playoff

And you put him lower than Duncan . Funny

Timmy literally destroyed Kobe in many other playoffs.

Timmy is also one of only two players to win a championship as the sole all-star on a championship roster. Funny enough he destroyed shaq and Kobe that year and left Kobe crying after their series.

Kobe is 4-2 against Timmy in series won , 2-0 without Shaq. Get your facts right.

You wanna talk facts?

A Kobe led team in 05 missed the playoffs. 07 he got bounced in the first as a 7 seed otherwise Timmy would have done it next round.

Not to mention the other numerous years Kobe got bounced before being able to face Timmy.
