I PM'd you what I currently think, but it's unofficial and not final.

Quotatious wrote:No offense Greg, you know that I, and I'm sure that many more posters here also, appreciate your efforts here a lot, but to be perfectly honest, I think that it's a waste of your time to keep repeating the same list every few days - I think not everyone is into making rankings like that - and even some guys who actually posted their lists, may not feel confident about it, about the order in which they would rank those players. It's insanely difficult to compare Wilt or Russell to Shaq or Hakeem, for example, not only because of era differences, but also different playing styles, roles on a team etc. Honestly, I gave up on trying to put together a GOAT list lately, or at least a true GOAT list featuring pre merger players - I'm just unable to establish any kind of cohesive, consistent criteria for it, and making separate lists based on different criteria isn't that appealing to me (there'd be like 5 or 10 different lists, and it wouldn't be possible to put them all together to come up with one ultimate ranking, because I'd return to the starting point, would've gone full circle, 360 degrees...). I think fpliii feels a similar way about it.
By the way - did you receive my PM with an answer concerning MJ, Shaq, Hakeem, LBJ and KD that you asked me for? There were some problems with exchanging private messages between normal posters on these forums for the last few months (because sending those to moderators seemed to work, at least from my knowledge). Did you get it?
