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.
We can all come up with our own top 10, but there’s only one real GOAT, MJ, the living legend. That part’s not even up for debate. Bleacher Report has their own list, but maybe here on Bitcointalk we can make our own. Let’s just start a thread and have people vote.
And honestly, the fact that so many fans are jumping into the convo shows that people here really follow the league. The more discussion, the more you see how popular the NBA is in this community.
Yes, for me, no offense to the fans of Boston, or Larry Bird, I also grow on that era as well, watching the 80's era with him and Magic Johnson and their rivalry. But I wouldn't consider him in my top 10. I will removed him and insert Kobe Bryant in the list.
But I do also agree that it's subjective, Jordan vs James have been in the discussion for the GOAT and they played in the different era so hard to compare. One thing that credited Steph Curry to be in the list is that he completely change the game and now the best shooter in the NBA hands down. Tim Duncan, yes I will include the big fundamentals as the best PF as he did established San Antonio's legacy and dynasty.
