I did this a few years ago, so I just want to see if it's changed.
Now, you might not agree but most people would have LBJ, MJ, Duncan, KAJ, Shaq, Magic, Wilt, Russell somewhere in their top 10
My next two are Bird, Hakeem-with Kobe/Curry fighting for one of their spots.
So, assuming the top 8 I listed are in your top 10 (maybe not the top 8, but there somewhere), who would be your other 2?
I Giannis has a good shot at the top 10, but can't be there yet. Jokic and other current guys also, but they need this level of play for years still.

KG/Hakeem got my votes here. Magic is actually my 10th man, just holding off Oscar for the spot.

I went with Garnett and Hakeem here.

Is there a good argument for Hakeem to be omitted from the top 10?

Re: Current Top 10 players-vote for 2
KG (8) and Hakeem (6), Magic is actually my 10th man.
Of those names, I'd go
Hakeem >= KG > Kobe > Bird >= Oscar > Curry >= West > J > KD
