Draymond Green believes Kobe Bryant is often left out of the greatest NBA player of all time debate due to several reasons, including playing alongside Shaquille O'Neal and not being the undisputed top player in the league for a long enough period. Green feels that Kobe's dominance was not as prolonged as that of Michael Jordan or LeBron James, which is why many do not include him in the conversation. Despite Bryant's successful career with the Lakers, winning five NBA titles, his partnership with O'Neal is often cited as a factor in his success. Green's Mount Rushmore of NBA legends includes Kobe, Shaq, LeBron, and Steph Curry, reflecting his close relationships with James and Curry.
