Where would you put Magic, Duncan, and Kobe on the All-Time List?

If Tim Duncan does win a 5th ring this season, where would you rank these 3 players (with 5 rings) on the All-Time Greatest Player List?

Magic, Duncan, Kobe

Please state your reasons why to validate your answers. Thanks.

Update:

Nice list Darren. So you would actually put

Kobe's 1 NBA Finals MVP + 2 Regular Season MVP = 3

over

Duncan's 3 NBA Finals MVP + 2 Regular Season MVP = 5?

    1 time NBA MVP

    2 Time Highest Scoring

    I would put all 3 in the best of all time list, and not just because of their rings. They have far excceded the norms in their own respective careers. Are they the best all-time at their positions? No, but they are one of the best at their position except Magic, who in my opinion was the best PG the game has seen.

  • Good question. Kobe 2nd best SG, 2nd all-time. Magic greatest floor general, two-way player ever. 4th all-time. Timmy D., most fundamentally sound player, bar none. 8th all-time in history. Just my opinion.
