Kobe isn't top 5

Nothing odd at all about Kobe out of the top 5, lol.

Pretty non-controversial list, most disagreements would probably just be over era arguments.

First, I would swap LeBron and Magic. I get the idea behind Magic being ahead but Lebron has been a more complete player for a longer time.

Other than that, I wouldn't put Russell in that echelon but there's a decent argument for it.

I always have a hard time placing Bill Russell. He's definitely one of if not the most accomplished NBA players but he played in a league with 10 teams and no 3pt line.

I typically don't put him in the top 10. A top ten list by itself is hard. I have MJ number one, Lebron somewhere between 4-8 and Kobe somewhere around 10-12. Tim Duncan should be top 5 unquestionably and Shaq belongs in the top 10 somewhere.
