Did You Know “basketball-reference.com” Ranked Kobe Bryant As The 90th Best Player Of All-time?

By NBA Rumors Posted in: Kobe Bryant

…Yeah, 90th. Check out the list of players ranked above him http://www.basketball-reference.com/friv…
That is just ridiculous. People have recently just now been considering Kobe a top 10 all-time player, and at the least a top 15-20 player. But 90th? Come on..
Notable players ranked higher then Kobe are..
-Sam Jones
-Shawn Marion
-Yao Ming
-Amare Stoudamire
-Kevin Johnson
-Dennis Rodman
-Pau Gasol
-Vince Carter
-T-Mac
-Paul Pierce
-Jason Kidd
-Ray Allen
& many, many other players who really don’t even stand up to Kobe’s resume and awards. This list is ridiculous.. thoughts?

  1. It Says

    Wow that website just lost ALL credibility. I use to go there too. it’s a shame that a site that’s suppose to be used as a place for info on stats, is run by a bunch of bias idiots.

  2. Spongebo Says

    wow… i completely agree with you. NO WAY at all any of those players you mentioned are better than him. Yao? WTF kind of joke is that. T Mac? Are you serious? The guy has a few good seasons and ends up fading away and becoming non-existent. Ray Allen and Pierce are good players but nowhere near the level of kobe. Amare? *shaking my head* kobe is definitely a top 10 player. i’d even go so far to say he’s top 5. 90th… no way.

  3. Yellow Mamba™ Says

    I’m no fan of kobe, but a fan of lebron and VC, but dude, you got to put him at least 7 or 8 on all time…
    These people don’t know **** about basketball.. prob just a list of players
    haha Lebron James over Kobe, as much as I hate to say this but Kobe should be way past him.

  4. Brad Says

    D-Wade, Brent Barry, Garnett, Pau Gasol, etc…
    seriously?
    that has to be a biased site…and they clearly dislike Kobe
    Even the biggest Kobe skeptic will admit he’s in the top 10/15 of all-time list lol
    I don’t buy that

  5. Lyin’ King JAMES! Says

    LMAO and you believe that list? Dude, its all opinion anyway. Lists don’t mean squat lol.
    Some idiot made it. Probably a Kobe hater. Of course Kobe haters would agree with that.

  6. Brett Favre † Says

    Wow… I’m guessing t doesn’t take much to get a job writing for them. Yeah, that’s just dumb. He’s a top 5 IMO, easily a top 20 on anyone’s list, even his haters.

  7. HeelYea Says

    Basketball reference is not the best place to look at lists like that. It not even legit…its just based on a bunch of random number crunching.
    I’m not a Kobe fan, but I got him in the top 10 (#9).

  8. jake g Says

    LMFAO amare is higher than Kobe. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!…

  9. RED RING OF DEATH Says

    Correct list pretty accurate

  10. That 70s guy Says

    David Robinson is better than Bill and Wilt?Kobe should at least be number 14.AND Yao Ming is better than Kobe?stupid!

  11. LeBron James is the Best-Reppin Says

    That’s crazy, I don’t even like the guy but he’s def not 90th all time. More like top 15-20ish in my book. and lol at those people rated higher than Kobe haha

  12. Roland Dusterbaster Says

    Yao Ming? Obviously some dumb morons made this list.

  13. inspiron Says

    I laughed out loud when I was reading the list and I saw Shawn Marion above Kobe.

  14. LeShamus Nene Says

    How insipid! The only one that can even compare, though still probably not as good, is J Kidd.

  15. Anonymous Says

    Lol, dude’s at least top 2.

  16. Mista Gab™ Says

    I hate kobe as much as the next guy but I respect his greatness and where he stand all time. This list is f*cked up

  17. Kobe,Lebron,Wade,Carmelo Fan Says

    Kobe and Wilt need to be ranked higher
    That’s disrespect

  18. The Passion of ☆King James Says

    Haha nice. They rated Pau higher then Kobe know he bought rings back to Lakers

  19. Andrew Says

    SMH

  20. king fish Says

    im suprised,i expected him to be lower.

  21. richard s Says

    Too much Kobe hatin’ going on today.

  22. BLACK JUSTIN BIEBER B*TCHES Says

    LOL who put Pau Gasol higher then Kobe??

  23. LeBron Fan Says

    wt’f who made this sh-it list.

  24. baudkarm Says

    In defense of basketball-reference.com, that list is derived from ratings submitted by visitors to the wesite, not the editors or writers themselves. Users can click the “Rate some matchups” button on the link above. They’re presented with the names and career stats of two players, and they can choose which one the think is better, or skip. And you can rate as many matchups as you want.
    Obviously, some Kobe hater either clicked through a while bunch of matchups, or more likely wrote a script to do it automatically, and had it downvote Kobe every time he was matched against another player.
