True statement: there are more people listed at 6'10" / 235 or bigger on the Portland Trail Blazers roster right now (4) than were in the entire league in 1965 (3: Wilt, Joe Strawder and Mel Counts).Bigger and stronger that wilt?

Not Kobe, and definitely not top 10, but funny what they can get away with.

Win 2 rings and go to 3 straight finals. Had Pau GasolI'm asking this honestly as I'm pretty ignorant to recent basketball.
Did Kobe do anything without Shaq?

Lakers are planning meetings on which number for Kobe to retire. I feel like you retire both. Thoughts?
Tosh summed it up best. The first 55 seconds
No, I can't say top 10 he needed to win 2 more MVP awards.
What's crazy, by that same logic, Shaq wasn't that good either
Being at the top or near the top in misses and shot attempts leaves him falling short in a major way IMO.
Kobe wouldn't be in my top 10, but he definitely is in good company when it comes to shots missed in the NBA.
In order:
Bryant
Havlicek
Hayes
Karl Malone
KAJ
Jordan
Wilkins
Baylor
AI
Dirk
I think the total missed shots stats skews negatively towards longevity and being a 1, 2, or 3 as they take more outside (lower percentage) shots. Don't get me wrong, Kobe was far from efficient, but I don't believe that missed shots is a great parameter for arguing against being a top-10 player.
Works for me. He isn't a top 10 player IMO either.
We may have a disagreement there, hahah.
that's why I like lists, they cause good sports debates. Shaq was a dominate player, but he's outside of the top 10 for me. To be really honest, he might be the 5th best center of all time in my book. I'd have to think about it more. It's good company though in that group.
And that might be kind in my opinion. It depends what is measured. Does college count? Shortened NBA career? Only NBA, does ABA count? The assumption is that its NBA/ABA combined and no college, otherwise Bill Walton would get a look.
