Kobe Bryant was one of the fiercest competitors to ever play the game of basketball. During his career, he notched five NBA championships, two Finals MVPs, 12 All-Defensive selections, 18 All-Star selections, and an NBA MVP award.
Despite his incredibly stacked resume, Bryant is one legend that is often left off the list of top-five players in NBA history. Many are not happy with this including three-time Sixth Man of the Year Jamal Crawford.
A while back, Crawford sent out a statement to those fans and basketball pundits that often leave the five-time NBA champion out of their top-five players of all-time.
“When they talk some of these “all time” list, this is the part they always leave out. The MENTALITY, along with everythingelse is the great separator. Can’t ever respect a list Kob isn’t top 5.”
