    Kobe's top 20, maybe. Great scorer, but not the all around game. Great players make their teammates better. Kobe doesn't.

    1. Michael Jordan

    2. Kareem Abdul Jabbar

    3. Magic Johnson

    4. Larry Bird

    5. Shaquille O'Neal

    6. Hakeem Olajuwon

    7. Wilt Chamberlain

    8. Tim Duncan

    9. Bill Russell

    I rated Kobe on top 7, his is not my top

    5 year. I probably will if he win another Ring

    and break one more all time scoring record.

    LMAO @ David,

    Jordan was a scorer and a great defender (much like Kobe)

    and people can agree this is the greatest of all time.

    Lets see, Jordan is better, Wilt is better, Kareem is better, Magic Johnson is better, Larry Bird is better. He's definitely a top 10 player of all time, but I don't think he's one of the 5 bests ever, if he's able to keep the bad FG% games to a minimum, and maybe even win another championship, then I will reevaluate this.

    Yes yes yes and YES!!!

    He is definitely a top 5 player all time. And in my opinion, I think he STILL has the potential to end his career as #2 all time behind MJ.

    That's just me though.

    no doubt top 10-7. Not enough to get top 5... NOT until he has retired.
