Alonzo was never a top 50 player all time yet he has a top 50 peak? Doesn't add up.

Who would you take over him that are not voted in yet?


Well off the top Im thinking of Elgin Baylor, Bob Mcadoo, Clyde Drexler, John Stockton, John Havlicek, Willis Reed, Walt Bellamy, Gary Payton, Grant Hill, Paul Arizin, George Gervin...theres so many.

Good, so make a case for them here.

I think the cases are self evident

It actually more difficult to explain self evident things to someone who doesn't accept that doesn't accept that evidence.

Your job would be to present these evidences, not to convince people who disagree. I don't see any problems here.
