Of course he did.

You can’t ever be in the top 5 GOAT category without leadership qualities and the ability to make those around you better..

.. Unfortunately though it’s guys like Kwame Brown and Chris Mihm on this list who truly needed to get better lmao.

Shut up Ciroc

you need to let go

Who?

He’s not top 5 tho

He made everyone better besides you



Kobe was so good he clones Sasha Vujacic

Also these minutes don't seem like they add up to a full NBA season or even close to it.

Kobe isn't in the top 5 GOAT conversation though LMAO.

This guy was never regarded top 5 until after he died...smh

Kobe>> The whole Sixers organizations history.
