SportsHoopla's top 10 NBA players

[tlance]

In the latest ESPN poll, out of 80,000 votes, 60% pick Kobe over Lebron. Is Kobe a top 3 player?

We have been over this silly poll already. Says nothing.

But, if you want to side with a random ESPN poll over people who live and breathe basketball, then go right ahead. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

So almost 50,000 people say one thing, but a few on this board know more than them

Kobe is 23rd all-time in PER. That's worse than Yao Ming and Dwyane Wade.

Win shares/48 he ranks 56th all-time. That's worse than Manu Ginobili and Dwight Howard.

Don't mistake Kobe "greatness" for Lebron hate.

I can come up with plenty of statistics where Kobe ranks over lebron. You really want to play that game?

Yes.

I value opinions of people I have interacted with and proven their knowledge over a completely random group. For all you know, 40,000 of the responses could have come from 13 year old Laker fans.

But if you want, it would be really easy for me to find multiple polls of random people that say the opposite. Personally, I think that is a pointless exercise because there are many on here who know their stuff and they ALL disagree with you.

Ball > Kobe

Kobe is not top 10 all time.

Some one had to be the first black that stood up to the system and call them out for their arrogance and be the first to set new records. Clearly he deserves some love because he set the bar so others could reach it and then raise the bar

Bill Russell is the reason I fell in love with the Boston Celtics in 1957....And I was a 7 year old white kid born in the deep south (Athens,Ga)).

Ball Is Not Kobe and it remains to be seen what he will be.

Kobe is not top 10 all time.

In some areas of concern - he is top ten. For example he is a top ten closer of all time. In scoring He is a top ten. Rebounds and assists - He never was even top 20. In defense - top ten. Every player has different skilled sets.

Wow. The first time that we have agreed on something in 10 years.

I sure do.

Hit me with your most impressive 5 stats where Kobe is ahead of Lebron. Bonus points for per-48, rather than career points or something where Kobe played a full career and retired, and Lebron has at least a few years left.

I'll start you off - championships.

Next?

So literally all but 1 person that has made a list here has LeBron in the top 4, and you still think you aren't the minority?

Actually, there were 3 others besides @Shaqdaddy11 that have him outside the top 5.
