Melo and Blake Griffin over Dirk is crazy. Even Anthony Davis. Dirk had like 13 good years in the 2000’s. He only played 2 or 3 years in the 90’s. He won a MVP, Finals MVP, probably had 5+ 1st team NBA’s. This list is trash.
The fact that the casual NBA fan thinks Kobe is a top 5 player from the 2010s is ridiculous.
It's the same with Melo. The stats today that show the legit worth of a basketball player don't look quite as kindly on guys who made their living on contested twos

Tossing out the year he blew his achilles, Kobes still averaged 24.4 ppg in the 10's.

Dude belongs.
Even when you include that year (and you should) it's still 24.2.
I think the argument is he only played 325 regular season games in the 10's and only 22 playoff games.
I'm a Kobe stan but I can see arguing he doesn't belong in here at all.

I'm just saying he belongs ahead of Melo.
Yes, this. He didn't play enough in the 10s for me.
Melo is ridiculously overrated and shouldn't be on any decade 2nd team.
I remember when Melo did his one year of college and won the natty then got to the playoffs with Denver while Lebron went straight to Cleveland and missed the playoffs the first two years

@TheKobeStopper weeps.
Well when did Shaq drop off the cliff? I guess he might be in discussion as well.
By 05 with Miami he was an other to Wade
Kobe probably is #1 for the oughts
10's - LeBron
00's - Kobe
90's - MJ
80's - The ultimate debate, Bird or Magic? I'll go with AIDs.
70's - Kareem
60's - Russell
Before that - NOC
Edit: Never mind, I’m an idiot. I was thinking all 2000’s, not 2010 on.

No way on Melo. Melo, fuck no.
Dirk should be in over Aldridge.

Today on First Take
Buy or sell, Melo is better than Lebron
