This is from what basis? scoring, impact to the game or just being an individual. I would have to agree that Kobe should be in that list but who he is going to replace for top 10? Well, we can make our own top 10's and that's for Bleacher's Report and there is nothing we can do if that's the top 10 that they have for their list. I think if the basis is about consistency, these are the most consistent players but all of them have their games where they were unfortunate and didn't contributed much so that might be a factor for BR's list.
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.
It's easy to say that they have to put Curry out on the list because he's not as explosive as Kobe and the others who makes so much play. I'm just kind of in awe when people underestimate Curry but that's fine. People recognize who are fans of him that he's also impactful to the games that they play. And while the others are improving their outside shooting, he's already there and have been focused on it, making leads and him as a headache of their opponents.
