Got me thinking about where Kobe ranks right now, and where he'll end up, i.e., how high can he go?


Sorry 2 threads got mixed up. the top 20.......and kobe......its here,

I live in So Cal and laker franchise has been a joy. 4 separate incarnations.

1. Mikan era

2. Baylor, West and Chamberlain

3. Magic, Kareem, Worthy and some great role players

4. Kobe and Shaq, then Kobe, Gasol and Odem. Also a great bench. And with 2, 3 and 4.........the vivid imagery of Chick Hearn.

Anyone remember the grief Kupchek got for trading Shaq instead of Kobe

A few ideas of NBA top __ lists

Top 20:
1 Wilt Chamberlain
2 Magic Johnson
3 Michael Jordan
4 Bill Russell
5 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
6 Tim Duncan
7 Larry Bird
8 Shaquille O'Neal
9 George Mikan
10 David Robinson
11 Karl Malone
12 John Stockton
13 Oscar Robertson
14 Scottie Pippen
15 Hakeem Olajuwon
16 Bob Pettit
17 Dirk Nowitzki
18 Jerry West
19 Charles Barkley
20 Walt Frazier

2nd top 20 +

1.Michael Jordan
2.Larry Bird
3.Kareem Abdul Jabbar
4.Magic Johnson
5.Wilt Chamberlain/ Bill Russell
7.Hakeem Olajuwon
8.Oscar Robertson
9.Shaq O'Neal
10.Kevin Garnett
11.Tim Duncan
12.Karl Malone
13.Charles Barkley
14.Dr J
15.John Stockton
16.Isiah Thomas
17.David Robinson and Patrick Ewing, sry can't leave one out
18.Moses Malone
19.Bob Cousy
20.George Gervin/Iceman

Mikan, Kobe Bryant, Sam jones, Dominique Wilkins, Nate Archibald, Elgin Baylor, Elvin Hayes, Pistol Pete Maravich, Billy Cunningham, Clyde Drexler, Walkt Clyde Frazier, Willis Reed, Earl "Pearl" Monroe, Kevin McHale, Bill Walton, James Worthy, Alonzo Mourning, Dikembe Mutombo, Gary "The Glove" Payton, and some others

Kobe is definite top 10 and if he can get a title this year plus atleast 1-2 more then he'll finish top 5 IMO.

Kobe over Garnett. Garnetts injuries have hurt his play and team.
