Somehow, there has been conversation of Kobe Bryant not being a top-10 player of all time, but we have proof he ranks above Stephen Curry, Larry Bird, and Shaquille O'Neal on the all-time list.

Lakers great Shaquille O'Neal doesn't agree with how low the late Kobe Bryant was ranked on a major publication's list of the greatest NBA players.

Bryant ranks fourth in all-time NBA scoring (33,643 points) and his “ Mamba Mentality ” work ethic is still cited as a major influence on current athletes. He spent the first eight years of his career as Lakers teammates with O’Neal, with L.A. winning three NBA titles during that span.
