Sorry Idog, but comparing Wade or Roy to Kobe in terms of career accomplishments (which is essentially what these polls address) is a bit ridiculous. More valid might be suggesting that Wade should be on this list since Lebron was on the SF list (having played the same number of years). However, even that claim would be highly debateable, as I've not heard anybody suggesting that Wade may eventually be in the GOAT debate, whereas it's basically a given that Lebron will.
It has nothing to do with Active players.. it has to do with Kobe being at minimum a top 5 shooting guard of all time.
What difference will it make if Kobe's in it and others are not? Michael's going to win this poll by a landslide.
A better question would have been, who's the 2nd best SG of all time. And it's a crime that Gervin isn't a choice. He was better than Drexler and Maravich and most certainly better than Iverson. No one guard had more go-to moves than the Iceman....NO ONE.
He was in the point guard category. Players like Robertson and West are hard to classify, because they played before there were real distinctions between the guard spots.
