I had to go with Steph Curry.

Honestly, probably gonna end up top-10, defintiely will if he wins another.

Doesn't even need to win another for me. Just needs a couple more years at peak level

I had to go with Steph Curry.

Current players seldom get the love they deserve until around 10 years after they retire.

That's why there are so many Jordan over Lebron folks for the GOAT.

Perhaps it was just because I saw so much of him but I went with Kobe.

No other logical reason to have him here, so that must be it

I certainly could have expanded on my reasoning, but since it's standard operating procedure to be a smartass here, it was more than just that.

This one is all about peak vs. longevity/consistency.

Plus some people want to hate on Shaq because a) he couldn't shoot free throws, and b) he was dominant because of his size+agility, not refined skill.

Those might be valid points against Shaq, but he's still 1000x funnier than anyone else on this list, so he's got that going for him.

Props to Frosty for cleverly including Kobe as an option to segregate out the voters who don't know what they are talking about.

Oh come on

Kobe over Shaq is ludicrous

Kobe in the top 10 is ludicrous

What happens if we don’t get to 25?

Just stick Kobe in a few times.

There's other reasons.

Shaq's at 25 now. On to #9.
