Every sport has its “greatest of all time” list that continues to be debated throughout the years.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But the NBA\u2019s list seems to carry the most weight while creating the fiercest arguments<\/u><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The top 10 list is a hotly debated topic, but one of the NBA\u2019s all-time greats<\/u><\/a> couldn\u2019t care less where he lands.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SPURS\u2019 VICTOR WEMBANYAMA WANTS TO BE BETTER THAN EVERY TOP PICK BEFORE HIM<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

“No. Dan, I don\u2019t live in the past,” West said Friday on “The Dan Patrick Show” when asked whether he cares where he\u2019s ranked in basketball history. <\/p>\n

“I\u2019ve been one of those people that\u2019s fortunate enough \u2026 I guess my ego\u2019s not big enough to even care about that stuff. I was just happy I had a chance to play when the league was growing when it was like a high school game when you went in the gymnasium.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

West is considered one of the greatest to ever play the game, spending his entire career with the Los Angeles Lakers<\/u><\/a> from 1960 to 1974.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was a 14-time All-Star, winner of the 1972 NBA Finals, and a member of the NBA\u2019s 75th Anniversary Team.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After his playing career came to an end, West became a legendary general manager, helping to build championship rosters in LA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

West was responsible for the draft-day trade that brought five-time champion Kobe Bryant<\/u><\/a> to the Lakers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Friday, West said that Bryant was more “advanced” at 19 years old than Victor Wembanyama, who was taken first overall by the San Antonio Spurs<\/u><\/a> in the 2023 NBA Draft.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Kobe was more advanced. He wasn\u2019t that height,” West said. “His body was a bit bigger. But they both bring a different kind of excitement to the game, and I\u2019m very hopeful that for the Spurs, and partially for the league, that he will be one of those players that people want to come see because of the uniqueness of the talent.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Anything that\u2019s good for basketball and particularly the growth of the game, I\u2019m all for it.”<\/p>\n

West is currently a consultant for the Los Angeles Clippers<\/u><\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
