Third best SC of all time.
6 best Guard of all time.

Top 15-20 I don't know how people put him above Shaq. Shaq had a good 5-7 years where he was the single most dominant force in the league. Shit to show how dominant he was even jordans bulls had to go recruit extra big bodies just for Him. If dude coulda shot 70% from the line i personally think shaq would have about 7/8 rings.
Okay stan, it's good to see we are on the same page for once I had no idea you were such a closeted fan Yours Truly.....Professor

i'd say top 10
he might crack the top 100 role players in the history of the league.
made the euro game palatable for american casual fans of basketball.
did to nba basketball what aerosmith did for rap.
streaky volume shooter at best, nothing remarkable or noteworthy as far as game is concerned.

If Kobe read this poll, I'm sure he'd go into a deep depression.
Dude wanted to be better than Mike, and the general consensus amongst basketball fans is he's, at best, ranked anywhere from number 10 to 15.
That is epic failure considering how high we KNOW he aimed.

dont think he would lose sleep over what a bunch of niggas who don't know him have to say
more like his stans would enter into hysterics.
the basketball-ignorant kids grew up to become basketball-ignorant adults. it shouldn't be any surprise that they over-estimate tobe's abilities.
plainly stated, tobe is a poor man's drazen petrovic in blackface.

Come on, homie...
...we're all basketball fans, and to him, our opinions matter. Our opinions may not matter as much as, say, other NBA players - but knowing that a few dozen long-time basketball fans believing he fell far below his career goal, probably wouldn't sit too well with him.
below shaq
And for the life of me i cant understand how he made more than 3. Kobe has always been an overrated defender.
8× All-Defensive First Team
How can you say you grew up in the "MJ era" and rate Kobe as #2 overall? The fact that you saw Magic in his prime should prevent Kobe from being 1 or 2 in your list.
DIES
Personally i give him top 15 (he lost a ton of stock in my book with his post-shaq/pre-gasol antics and performance). But he will finish top 10 when its all said and done.
exactly.....
Top 15
Nah because I feel that Shaq would have had a ring or 2 with Orlando. I really think that if Shaq hit them free throws they had a chance to win in 94/95/96
If he gets 5 more scoring titles, 2 more league mvp's, and 3 more league MVP's, I will put at #2. Even if he is on a team that wins 5 more championships, he can never be better than Jordan individually. Jordan held is own playing against or with 20 of the top 50 players of all time, including Tim Duncan, Allen Iverson, and Kobe.
He is a top 10 player, no doubt, can't front.

I actually feel bad for the dude.
I've been following Kobe since he was in high school. I know how hard that dude has worked, and what his ambitions were.
To any other player, being considered a top 10-20 player would make them smile to ear to ear. However, when you strive to be the best at something - arguably working harder than anyone - and falling far short...
...that doesn't feel good. You don't chase a goal for over ten years, and when you don't accomplish, just be thankful for what you did accomplish.

Top 20 of all-time for sure 
Can't put him in the top 10 because he was never on the level of Jordan, Magic, Bird, Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Oscar, Hakeem, Duncan, Dr.J, Karl Malone or Mose Malone. So maybe top 15.

Are you serious? Fouling Shaq totally disrupted the gameplan, had he been a better shooter They wouldnt have employed the strategy, forcing them to double team and even MORE open shots for Dennis Scott and Nick Anderson, not to mention Penny Hardaway who was a star in his own right. It would have been much more than 2-3 points.
he's had a great career so why would you feel bad for him? He was never good enough to be a top 10-20 player of all time based on talent or basketball iq but he is definitely one of the luckiest players in sports history, at least in my lifetime.
as far as this thread, I see the media myths and cliches "hardest working player in the league". "look down defender", "deadly in the clutch", "closest to Jordan", etc are running rampant
