Jayson Tatum believes there's no question Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kobe Bryant belong on the shortlist of the NBA's greatest players.

During a recent appearance on the "Million Dollaz Worth of Game" podcast, the Boston Celtics star ranked the trio among the top five players of all time and said he questions anyone who doesn't feel the same way.

"Anybody that don't have Mike, Bron, and Kobe in their top five, I really have a hard time listening to them," Tatum said.

The 23-year-old added: "I think four, five is very interchangeable. Them three, I think those three is cemented."

Tatum's top 10 also includes Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Shaquille O'Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon, Tim Duncan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Bill Russell.
