    Melo over Kobe (and like 50 other people) is chinsanity.

    Kobe would be first team all decade for the oughts so to be even third team for the next decade is pretty good

    Probably the player of the decade for the oughts right? Either him or Duncan.

    Well when did Shaq drop off the cliff? I guess he might be in discussion as well.

    Shaq won his rings from 2000 to 2005 but he was more dominant in the 90's I think

    By 05 with Miami he was an other to Wade

    Kobe probably is #1 for the oughts

    This is top of my head so I might be overlooking someone obvious.

    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

    Just realized Duncan is not on this either. The guy threw together the first names he thought of.

    Edit: Never mind, I’m an idiot. I was thinking all 2000’s, not 2010 on.

    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

    Even just looking at the 2010s, Dirk’s playoff run in 2011 alone qualifies him for 3rd team

    The third team is better than the second team. CP3, Westbrick, Melo, and Griffin can all fuck off. All Loser squad.

    The Third Team would destroy the second team. Even with old Kobe.

    No way on Melo. Melo, fuck no.

    Dirk should be in over Aldridge.

    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.

    I prefer Duncan or shaq over Kobe but spot on.

    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

    Today on First Take

    Buy or sell, Melo is better than Lebron

    Very odd that you're talking about basketball rankings in a thread titled, "Discus"

    Kobe’s place is fine. There are multiple other issues with these teams but Kobe didn’t play enough this decade to be higher.
