These kinds of lists are subjective. Everyone has their own personal list but there are certain players who appear on almost everyone's all-time greats list. The rankings may vary but names like Jordan, LeBron, Magic, Kareem, Bird and Wilt are always there.

You can make a GOAT list by looking at both individual stats and contributions to the team. Some players no matter how good they were, never won a championship because they didn't play on great teams during their careers. That doesn't make them any less great. The first examples that come to mind are Allen Iverson, Vince Carter, T-Mac and Grant Hill. On the other side, some players have won multiple championships but you never see them on GOAT lists. I've never seen anyone put Robert Horry who won seven rings on their list.

In my personal top 10, neither Kobe nor Curry make the cut. I can name plenty of players I'd rank ahead of them. Which brings me back to what I said at the start. It's impossible to create a definitive all-time ranking.
