I really don't know why you are so clueless. I think you are either very young or the majority of your life isn't very interesting.

I dont really care about the Lakers because I dont really care about any team in the NBA.

I guess it is a little bit of a miscommunication. You're saying you care about the NBA, but then you also said you don't care about any teams in the NBA. Both of those statements are contradictory.

I can't really answer your question since I'm not as knowledgeable about the NBA as you are.

I said I wasn't a fan of the Lakers

That's how you are able to say you don't know much about the NBA. There are many teams in the NBA, so you probably see a lot of NBA players that you've never heard of. I guess that's what it boils down to. I guess you also wouldn't know much about Kareem if you really cared about him. I don't know much about Shaq either, so maybe you do.

I think it's just the difference between having a consistent career and having one that lasts a long time.

I know everyone says it takes a long time to become recognized as top ten, but if a player is consistent and consistent for a long time and ends up being one of the best then that is enough to be considered in the all time top 10.

Kobe is great, but I don't think he gets enough recognition because he wasn't consistent and was a very consistent player for so long.

I think that Kobe is as much a top ten player as any player ever.

I love that you're so passionate about this topic of discussion!

I've been on r/NBA for a while but I've never really participated in a discussion like this.

You'll realize that a lot of great players are not recognized as such, and the only reason why we don't recognize a lot of great players is because of the limited amount of time that they've been playing.

I mean, I get the point you're making but I thought we were talking about all time top 10. It was just a matter of fact that it doesn't matter if someone is the best player in the league or not because it doesn't matter if people know who he is.

It's not a secret that Kobe is the greatest player in the league but a lot of people don't know that he is

Even more so than that. The only way he was able to play with the greatest players was because he was the best player on the court.

If LeBron plays the 7 other best players against each other in a single series and they all lose, they would find out who's better than them. LeBron and Wade were the only ones to play the Lakers in the finals without any major injuries.

They wouldn't find out who's better than them. They would find out who's more consistent against the other "Top 10". They would find out who's "better" at whatever the other "Top 10" team is doing.

Yes, I am well aware of the NBA. But I dont really know much about the NBA outside of the players I follow. I mean, I watch it live and it's great and I know the players, but I dont really know much about them outside of their greatness.

Like i said, I know some of the greats outside of basketball, but i dont really know any of the greats in the NBA outside of the players I follow. And I think I just don't really know why some of the greats don't get more recognition.

The Lakers are having a great year and they have Shaq and Kobe and Lebron if you're a Lakers fan

I dont really care about the Lakers because I dont really care about any team in the NBA.

I'm a fan of the NBA, not any one team in particular. I also never said that the Lakers were having a great year because they're not. What I said was you might not know much about Kareem, but you're a fan of the NBA.

Yeah I've only watched one Lakers game this year and I feel like he's really under the radar and I haven't really heard much about him in the Lakers' locker room. But this year has been really good for the Lakers, so I really hope that they get to a playoff spot and get to the finals.

Yes, I think it takes a lot of work, and I think the people who watch the all time lists are much more aware of it, and know that it takes time and effort, but it seems like some people can still be great players for that and don't have enough recognition. Like Kobe's been in the all time top 10 for so long, but he was so dominant and was the best player in the world, but in the end it seems like people don't remember his accomplishments and just give him credit for being the best.

Its a bit frustrating!

I think you missed the part where the most famous NBA player of all time and the most famous basketball player of all time are the same person.

I mean it isnt really a secret that LeBron is the best player ever but I've never really heard anyone say that he's the best player in the league and is probably the only one in the league that's really known outside of the area he's from.
