    No.

    Kobe to me, is in the 2nd half of the top dozen players ever.

    The guy has had more then his fair share of ' freak out' moments.

    Thats Kobe's 1 weakness to me...he lets the game get away from him at times.

    I dont ever recall seeing MJ, Bird, Magic..hell even Isiah..melt down and loose control of themselves like that.

      sportsguy....I never seen Jordan struggle since he played the Pistons back when Dumars and Isaiah were playing for the them. Jordan never lost in the finals and to me thats just impressive. I mean now you have to throw Kobe in the convo of top 5 players. But I still think Magic was the better Laker but it doesnt matter really what I think, its just my opinion.

        in that 30 for 30 document with regie miller vs new york, it shows him and jordan tangled up and Michael about to kill reggie miller, yet again, it never happened as frequently as with kobe and agian, it WAS Reggie lol

                You dont have to see something to have an opinion, you can form one by watching old highlights and reading articles and analizing stats and comments of old people ... Not deminishing your call about being better the 5 best you have seen idea ... but you dont have to demirate the 5 ever approach.

                      Surprised there's not a lot of love for Moses Malone. It must a generational thing. IMO, he's one of the top 5 NBA centers of all time.

                        He was a phenomenal rebounder yes but he couldn't pass or play any defense on a man to man basis. He is barely a top 12 center of all time.

                                I caught Kareem and Moses too late..they were on their way out when I began really getting into sports as a kid.
