Kobe has better defense than Magic and Bird ever had, plus he's a better scorer. They probably averaged more rebounds but on all-around defense, he's got them beat by a mile. I don't recall Bird or, even at the expense of sounding blasphemous, Magic being the defensive presence that Kobe is.

His D is on par with the type of D Jordan used to enforce. I don't see him touching the rest you mentioned.

GOAT... nah. I would definitely put him in the top 5 when it's all said and done... but he's still playing... so he could go up, IMO. Lebron is definitely gonna be up there too.
