What more needs to be said that hasn't been already? Kobe is easily one of the top 10 greatest players to ever step foot on an NBA hardwood. He's as deadly of a scorer as they come, and even though he's slowed down a bit with age, he can still get it done.
But in his prime? Forget about it. Bryant could light up defenses from just about anywhere, as evidenced by his ridiculous 81-point game vs. the Toronto Raptors (second-most in NBA history).
He's got a deadly mid-range game, superb three-point shot, a polished post game and amazing footwork. Bryant is also a crafty defender who can lock up opposing players whenever he decides. As far as clutch factor, Bryant is still the best in the business. When the game is on the line, there is no better player to give it to than Kobe.
Entering his 15th season, Bryant is already a 13-time NBA All-Star, two-time NBA scoring champion, nine-time All-NBA First Team, two-time All-NBA Second Team, two-time All-NBA Third Team, nine-time All-NBA Defensive First Team, two-time All-NBA Defensive Second Team, four-time NBA All-Star Game MVP, one-time NBA MVP, two-time NBA Finals MVP and a five-time NBA champion.
When it's all said and done, Bryant could be one of the top five greatest to ever play the game.
