On Monday we got to see Kobe Bryant’s two jerseys raised to the rafters like all the other LA Laker greats. Now the debate continues as to who is the greatest all-time NBA player. Here are my top-10:
Thanks to the Lakers organization and the best fans in the world. You gave a six-year-old boy his Laker dream, and I’ll always love you for it. #laker4life #DearBasketball https://t.co/8xShQUGkC3

I know some might say that my top-10 is out of order, but to me these are the best players ever in the right order. Some played in a different era then others, so that fact played a huge factor in my decision in choosing my top-10. I also considered titles.
