Kenny Smith a TNT analyst revealed his top 10 list while talking to some NBA fans which created a lot of buzz among the NBA people. Kenny placed King James at no 10 and the legendary player Kobe didn’t even find a spot in his top 10 list. Placing LeBron James at no 10 was surprising but Bryant not getting a place in Kenny’s loss kind of triggered most of the fans. No NBA fans would exclude Kobe from the top 10 list because he has one of the most positive impacts on the game. Forget the NBA, people from other sports also respect Kobe for what he has done. He also achieved a lot more than the other players if we go to compare him. His impact is unmatchable, whether we talk about on-field or off-field.
Allen Iverson on Kenny Smith
Kenny Smith’s top 10 list created a lot of discussions among the fans as it was very surprising to not see Kobe on the list. Many fans made fun of Kenny on Twitter, naming his list as one of the worst. In a conversation, Allen Iverson was asked about his opinion on the controversial top 10 list of Kenny Smith, to this Allen replied:
I love Kenny Smith, but I don’t know about that one, buddy. Bean was Black Mamba, man. He’s automatically top five. Automatically, when it comes to me. Like, I ain’t never seen nothing, besides Black Jesus [Michael Jordan], amen, I ain’t never seen nothing like it. I love Kobe. I didn’t know Kobe like that, but as a basketball player, Kobe was the most vicious.

It was evident that Allen didn’t like Kenny excluding Kobe from the list. Like most of the fans, Allen has the same opinion and we can’t agree anymore. Kobe has a very big impact on the entire NBA and players still idolise him and the Mamba Mentality.
The debates over players’ ranking are very common but players like Kobe Bryant can’t be out of the top 10 list of anyone.
