Just need to rank him over LeBron. 2-4 in the NBA Finals should not be awarded over 5-2. /thread
EDIT
Didn't realize this was a money thread. I'm a poor student so I'm not really participating.

Yeah exactly ESPN will put Kobe outside top 10 likely 11-12th spot. |
Kobe is coming up today in the 11-15 range looks like you guys were right, just wonder if the people who claimed that ESPN would never do this are going to change their tune.
Wouldn't hold my breath waiting for it though. |

Well, one of Kobe, LeBron or Hakeem is going to end up outside the top 10, and that won't please any of their respective fans. |
they already "tested" this method with that other weird article. if they really want to work the fans up, leave kobe out of the top 10 and put lebron in the top 5. |

He finished 12th.
To have Shaq, Moses, and Olajuwon above him is insane.
I won't argue Oscar, Lebron, Duncan, and Bird although I disagree, but these three centers should not be in front of him.

You know this list is insane if you've got Spurs and other non-Laker fans hating the ranking given to Kobe.

| Kobe behind Oscar is an absolute tragedy. Averaging a triple double in an inflated fast paced era doesn't account for being a top 10 player all time. He couldn't ever win a title, as the alpha dog and he definitely wasn't the 1b. when he won the championship with Kareem. |

| This is a complete disgrace. Kobe is better than Bird, Lebron and Duncan. ESPN has had an agenda against Kobe for over a decade |

I don't think anyone said it would never happen. Why would they say that? On most non-fanatic lists, Kobe sits in the back half of the top 10 so it's entirely possible he'd be pushed out.
You should be challenging any and all folks who said he WOULD be listed out of the top 10, but didn't have the stones to put money where their mouth is.
Such is the internet way. |

no surprise here, i actually think they would rank him lower.
every single IDIOT in ESPN( non players) ranked Kobe outside of top 10 because they need to generate views.
this is garbage, ESPN will make a excuse for people above Kobe.
ring count doesn't matter here--Bird, Shaq, Lebron, hakeem, moses???
ESPN is a FREAKING JOKE |
