People have memed “West underrated!!!” to the point where he has become legitimately overrated. Amazing how many principled arguments for Garnett vanished when it came to Oscar.

West in general being on better teams doesn't win him the argument, but it's something in general we ought to be able to agree about so we can move on to the actual nuances. .....

Literally you just keep making posts that my prior responses already address. I'm moving on.[/quote]
I thought I was answering your concern, and addressing something that you didn't know.
On to #14

People, it doesn't really matter where the numbers end up in the discussion. This is just an internet board, not the HOF voting. The point is to enjoy ourselves talking about the great players we have watched and heard of; not to end up with a list graven in stone that is perfect. So, relax, enjoy, and make your arguments but remember, it's just for fun.

No. This is the only thing bringing purpose to my life. I can't even put a smile on since Kevin Garnett was selected before Kobe Bryant.

To be fair, I might feel the same if Allen Iverson gets voted in before Walt Frazier.
