Agree or Disagree?

Steph is by far my favourite player this past decade, and i hope one day he'll deserve this spot, but I personally have him sitting around 15-20 range at the moment.

If you agree - then why?
If you dont agree - then what do you feel Steph needs to accomplish to reach top ten all time?

That's why it's bleacher report

Off the top of my head in no particular order:

MJ
Magic
Bird
Wilt
Russell
Kareem
Lebron
Duncan
Kobe
Shaq

That's 10 right there. And I haven't looked at a list yet so I'm sure I'm missing a few

He's around #15 for me now but should crack top 10 after a couple more seasons of similar production.

They're obviously wrong. His 2-year peak is nice and all, but plenty of guys on that list have as good or better peaks.

LeBron. Jordan. Kareem. Magic. Bird. Hakeem. Duncan. Shaq. Russell. Wilt.

All easily displace him.

Top 10 seems really high for a guy who never won a finals MVP

Which of the guys I listed does he displace? I just don't see it.

List also has David Robinson 12th. Over Hakeem.

Besides underrating my guy Wilt, this is actually one of the better lists I've ever seen. Finally somebody had the balls to put D Rob on Olajuwon's level in spite of the dumb 1 series narrative.

Around 15 is right. He still has time to move up - this year is big for him

1. Wilt
2. MJ
3. LeBron
4. Kareem
5. Russell
6. Magic
7. Bird
8. Shaq
9. Duncan
10. Curry

That is what my list will look like when Curry breaks the barrier, unless LeBron does something that boosts him over MJ.

My all-time starting 5 has Steph at PG, so there's that.

A little high for right now. I was expecting the list to have Kobe top 5, so the fact it doesn't have him in the top 10 makes it more legitimate to me.

Were you a Lakers fan pre-LeBron? If so good on ya for being rational and objective

Curry has a case for being top 10.

2 MVPs, 3 Championships, changed the NBA.

If Klay was healthy and he could won the Finals this year it would have been clear cut.

I would probably put him below Hakeem for sure though.

around 15 makes more sense, but both he and KD will be in the top-10/12 when it's all said and done.

I liked the lakers back when Shaq played for them (my first favorite player), so I haven't liked Kobe for a while. Lol

Glossing over the list again, I also think they're selling Dr J short. Before anyone suspects Philly bias, I'm OK with Iverson being left out and with Moses' rank.

Seems about right for Steph. I think you can put him anywhere in the 9-14 range. The one player who’s rated way too high IMO is Larry Bird. He was the 3rd best player in a weak decade, his numbers fell off quite a bit in the postseason, and he wasn’t an impact defender like all the top 8-9 players should be IMO.

I would liken his defense to Curry's, maybe a tad better. Super high IQ and minimized his athletic disadvantages enough to be a good not great defender relative to position.
