If you watch the full highlights from this series, and you understand how difficult these shots are to get off first of all, but then to make second of all, and to make consistently enough to WIN third of all, then it gives you a whole different appreciation for just how ridiculously skilled this man was.

Kendrick Perkins tore his ACL in game 6 & it was any body’s game late in game 7.

That's funny but imo , top 10 should be 1. Jordan 2. Kareem 3. Lebron 4. Kobe 5. Magic 6. Shaq 7. Bird 8. Rusell 9. Duncan 10. Curry 11. Wilt 12. Olajuwon 13. Oscar 14. Dr. J 15. Isiah Thomas You can flip Kobe and Lebron though, my argument is that Kobe got 5 Rings two gold medals and 1 oscar. Even though he didnt get at least 2 MVPS, he proved that he can win 2 more chips without the most dominant center who's a Top 75 player Hall of Famer. . If Lebron get's his 5th Ring, I would say he's 2nd to Jordan and Kareem will be 3rd and or if he past Kareem next year. . I am a Kobe fan and I know Lebron is a hall of famer but I can't put him over Kobe yet. . Edit: If ever someone will say Kobe had Shaq and Phil from 00-02. .look at Kobe's stats. . He's like Dwade when shaq left LA, actually better than DWade.

[@infiniteuniverse9528]

Guarding Kobe was like sitting on a barrel of Nitroglycerin. You think you've got him well defended and somewhat under control, but deep down inside you're terrified that the slightest thing can cause the man to explode on you. The guy may go 1 for his first 5, but we all know he only needs to see the ball go through the hoop a couple times before it's "Uh-Oh Houston we may have a problem" time. Once he gets it locked in it's a wrap, the spark is lit, he gets that assassin look in his eyes and detonates. At that point NBA defenses are turned into stunned spectators just like the rest of us were. RIP Kobe. Mamba Mentality Forever🏀

He's not winning with mo Williams, ilgauskas,37 year old Shaq and Mike Brown as his head coach. Also he wouldn't mesh well with the Miami heat. Who's going to play the SG position? Him or Wade? Also Kobe has to turn himself into a playmaker and pass the ball more which he's not gonna do. He couldn't beat the 2012 thunder so that's out the window.
