Indeed, I feel the same, Kobe should be in the Top 10. But looking at the list, it's hard to remove anyone to make room for him. Kobe truly deserves to be there, no doubt, but the same thing for others. That makes it really tough. I'm pretty sure the people who made that list also had a hard time deciding. Some say Curry was just a sidekick, but can those players achieve what they did without Curry? Curry is Curry, no matter what they say. His impact on the NBA speaks for itself.
Yup, Kobe is one of those talents who brings the basketball to another level, after MJ left the league Kobe was one of the faces of NBA, though those names from the list are players who also bring big impact to the game, we can't push anyone as all of us do have our own perspectives and own likes, if whoever create the list they've got their own qualification and they've got their own opinions to why they set it to this list.
