I had him #12 going in, and I just voted for him at #11, so (much like most of the realgm top 100 so far) I have no problem with him being ranked where he is.

#12. I could see him as high as #7, TBH.
This place is a cesspool of mindless ineptitude, mental decrepitude, and intellectual lassitude. I refuse to be sucked any deeper into this whirlpool of groupthink sewage. My opinions have been expressed. I'm going to go take a shower.

11th is too much IMO

To me D-Rob was better than him.
Shaq on Duncan:SA won because of TD, a guy I could never break.I could talk trash to Ewing, get in D-Rob's face, get a rise out of Mourning,but when I went at Tim he’d look at me like he was bored and say:“Hey,Shaq, watch this shot right off the glass.”

As a Spurs fan I agree D.Rob peaked higher for sure, but D.Rob has a lot less longevity, so I can see the justice in ranking KG above him. Ranking him ahead of Duncan (as some people do) is where I'm horrified.

I had him at 15 before the project. Now I'm considering taking Robinson and Malone over him as well, moving him down to perhaps 17.

I just want to stop hearing about this guy. The discussion about him has left a bad taste in my mouth, frankly.

I really think karl, dirk, barkley were better than him. Robinson too. Kobe for sure. I would take dr j, west or oscar. I think he shouldn't be before 20-25 spot.

He has a strong case for top 5 of the post-Jordan era. #15-17 is where I placed him, though #15-20 would probably reflect my opinion better.

It's interesting to read the RealGM player rankings but after reading the newer threads I have no idea how KG went from #13 to #11 since 2011. I also think it's reasonable to rank KG lower than other PFs like Dirk, Barkley, and Malone in addition to David Robinson (who ranked 21st). Around the 20ish range is where I'd rank KG.

I don't have a list, but after a quick thought...

No order: Jordan, Kareem, Lebron, Duncan, Magic, Bird, Russell, Wilt, Olajuwon, Shaq, Kobe. I think KG comes here, in 12th place.

I have him 17th. I could see a reasonable ranking between 13-20. 11th is just too high, i'm still not convinced he has any case over Kobe or Oscar but hey that's realgm bias for you.

Before the project I had KG at 13. Now he's # 12 on my list, but I could see him as high as 10.

Does this mean you have KG ranked near Pippen, Stockton, Frazier, Drexler and Ewing?

Ewing is probably higher than those guys fwiw.
