There are not many players in league history who could compete with the resume of Kobe Bryant. The Black Mamba solidified himself as arguably the greatest player to come out of the Los Angeles Lakers system. One big reason for his legendary status was the insane NBA Playoffs run he had back in 2010. Goran Dragic vividly remembers every moment of that series when his Phoenix Suns got decimated.
According to NBA players, the GOAT debate consists of only two players and everyone else is in a distant rearview mirror. Michael Jordan edged out LeBron James as the greatest player in NBA history, according to a poll of 133 players conducted by The Athletic. Jordan received 45.9 percent of the vote, while James came in at 42.1 percent. Kobe Bryant was a distant third place at 9.8 percent, while Stephen Curry, Magic Johnson and Paul Pierce each received 0.8 percent—the equivalent to one vote apiece.
The Los Angeles Clippers played their final regular-season home game in downtown LA on Sunday.
