It's always fun to ask the greatest players of all-time in any sport who they think the G.O.A.T is or what they're all-time starting lineup looks like.

 

 

Who are your picks for the ๐Ÿ's of the 4 major sports?

Kobe Bryant is considered by many to be one of the greatest players of all-time and he's in the conversation with Jordan, but when he was asked on Hollywood Reporter's "Awards Chatter" podcast who the greatest player of all-time was, his answer was MJ and there was no hesitation.

He was also asked to name his all-time starting five and Kobe's picks weren't that surprising:

โ€œWell, I gotta go with my guys. Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Bill Russell, and Hakeem Olajuwon. Those are my guys.โ€

Like we said, not very surprising, especially when you consider Kobe grew up watching these guys.

If you were looking for controversy, then you came to the wrong place because there probably isn't a starting lineup better than the five guys Bryant selected.
