That's just your opinion. Bill Russell has the rings but played with the best team every year. Wilt should have won more with his talent advantage. Miken. I'm old but even I can't talk about how good he was. It was a different game back then.I never said he wasn’t great, but he’s barely top 10 at best
By timeline all these players are above Kobe:
1. Bill Russell
2. Wilt
3. Kareem
4. Bird
5. Magic
6. Jordan
7. Lebron
8. George Mikan
IMO Kobe belongs in a 1A group of all-time greats, like
1. Shaq
2. Tim Duncan
3. Hakeem
4. Steph Curry
All the reasons why Bird is an all time great is why Kobe is there. Two guys who weren't overwhelming physically but made themselves great players by working at the game tenaciously. And yes I put bird above Kobe because he didn't even better. Has a Laker fan it makes me want to throw up in my mouth a bit. LOL but you got to appreciate greatness
