MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

[Scott41theMavs]

Everyone from a casual fan to hall of fame players themselves will have different all-time rankings.  But i think Kobe would be in most top 10 lists. Dirk will be in top 20 lists. And I love Dirk, but i think Kobe is just one small tier above him. 

Kobe has 5 rings man. Top 4 all-time in scoring. Beast on both ends of the court. 2 Olympic Gold medals. 

My quick top 20:

1. Jordan
   
2. Lebron
   
3. Kareem
   
4. Magic
   
5. Wilt
   
6. Kobe
   
7. Bird
   
8. Shaq
   
9. Bill Russell
   
10. Duncan
    
11. Oscar Robertson
    
12. Steph
    
13. Kevin Durant
    
14. Hakeem
    
15. Karl Malone
    
16. Dirk
    
17. Garnett
    
18. Moses Malone
    
19. Dr. J.
    
20. Barkley
    

Most people who exclude Kobe from the top tier do so as their pound of flesh for his off-the-court misdeeds.
