It's always the softest dudes that say toughness is overrated. His goat soft af. He gets fans thrown out and dudes suspended for calling him the b word.
Kobe had stadiums full of people running with media narratives and calling him a rapist and cheater to his face. Even after the bogus case was thrown. Went out and dropped 50.

Hakeem in the top 10 with only 2 titles and 3 deep playoff runs is a reach

Tbh I've come to terms with the fact I'm physically washed. I'm getting close Lonzo Ball status. And it's not getting better with age.

He was drafted ahead of Jordan and nobody has ever complained about it or called it a bad pick, that speaks volumes
Top 10 isn't a stretch for someone averaging 22-11-3 blocks over 18 years with 12x AS, 12x All-NBA,9x All-Defense, 1 MVP and 2 DPOY's to go along with those 2 rings and FMVP's...

Individual stats and accolades, no denying. But top 10 with *only* 2 titles when everyone else has 4. We gotta set a standard. That’s all I’m saying.He was drafted ahead of Jordan and nobody has ever complained about it or called it a bad pick, that speaks volumes

The order stopped after 1 and 2. Hakeem around 9.
Same number of MVP's and FMVP's as Kobe, 2 time DPOY. He earned it.
Wiiiiiiiiiilllllllt??
I'm surprised you even mentioned Steph
He's right outside 10 too but ahead of Kobe.
Steph is an All-time great. You won't be able to tell the story of the NBA w/o him when it's all said and done. I'm a hater not intellectually dishonest.

How is Kobe better than those players 12 listed and give me answers that aren't rooted in emotions, facial expressions and personality traits.

18x All Star (3rd All time)

2x scoring champ
1x league MVP
2x Finals MVP
5x champ
Sorry, just off the resume KD, Steph, Hakeem, hell Bird and possibly Shaq ain't got a better one than that.
The knock against Bean is his lack of regular season MVPs; everything else his accomplishments are as good as anyone in the top 4.

Strus getting the Cavs the most attention since Lebron left. Good for him

Rings aside I think you can put him up there with alot of those guys simply as a player on the court. Maybe he wins more in a different era where he gets legitimate help or leaves Houston
I mean look at most of the top 10. You have teammates (Kobe, Shaq, Magic, Kareem) Bird was on a juggernaut in the 80's. Bron had to move around to reach 4. MJ had Pip. Steph had KD for two.
Jokes aside with Wilt I cant judge him and Russell like I watched them
But I get everyone list is different when viewed by accolades, longevity, peak, counting stats ect.

I get all of this. Take the rings argument out and he was still losing to the kings and the sonics. We gotta nitpick everything when it comes to top 10
