Show me a person who puts Kobe in the top 5 of all time and I will personally Russian-slap them until they die. It may take awhile but I'm that tenacious.

Yes, big men are more valuable. That's obvious. Look at the NBA. That doesn't mean that Kobe and a decent big man (or men, in this case) isn't one of the best players in the history of the NBA.

As a 4, he's amazing. The sick thing is that he's only getting better. Watch the games, he's a different player. He stuffs everyone and then goes up and rips on the offensive side.

There's a reason why most teams play a 3 or 2 on him. It's not a matter of "stopping", it's a matter of "containing". 

You mean as a 2.   1 is PG 5 is Center.

As for people who do that... lots of people do.  He was just named the 2nd best SG of all time.  Jerry West said he could still pass Jordan.  

Though that may of been to make up for the fact that west said that Kobe Bryant's been the 2nd best player in the league since 2003 when Lebron James was drafted.

Which was even further then he went when he originally said that Lebron was better then Kobe this year.

Would you take Kobe over Magic though?  I wouldn't. 

I'd take Magic first. A PG of his size is invaluable. But it's a close call. The only reason I'd take Magic first is because you can find a mediocre shooting guard to play alongside Magic and it's still a winning situation.

Magic was an oddity, though. He was a once-in-a-lifetime player.
