When it comes to things that became more popular in the last few years (+/-, RAPM or even basic boxscore based stuff like TS%) Kobe simply isn't on the same level as some of his peers. As a basketball player I don't see a case for him as a top 10 player of all time. As an icon and superstar he is probably top 5.
