Yikes! ESPN is doing their annual countdown of the best NBA players heading into this upcoming season and revealed that the legendary Kobe Bryant came in at #25. They’re pretty much ranking 24 players as being better than Kobe, which include a list with the likes of Joakim Noah, Chris Bosh and Roy Hibbert (should we even continue?).
A lot of this has to do with the status of Bryant’s health, but that’s still a bit of a reach. Even Kobe recently said that if the playoffs were today, he would be on the court; so placing him at #25 behind some of those players seems pretty out of bounds.
What do you guys feel about this? Should Kobe be higher? Let us know!
