Pretty reasonable

Right ten. Wrong order. Russell and Duncan too low, Magic too high, everything else is reasonable enough.

Hakeem is hugely overrated.

No he’s not.

Can't really argue with the 10. The only guy on there who I don't have in my top 10 is Shaq and he's #11. Wrong order though

Pretty good

Very close to my list. Kobe would likely be next at #11.

Optms · Post #10 » by **Optms** » Wed Sep 22, 2021 6:03 pm

This seems like a great list considering what I've seen and read on here with other people's lists.

Bird…I don’t know man, his career was short, peak was high and his prime was short as well obviously. Compared to someone like Kobe who gave you two decades, it’s a valid comparison I feel.

Agree with all the names, but I’d switch Shaq and Bird

PistolPeteJR · Post #14 » by **PistolPeteJR** » Wed Sep 22, 2021 7:20 pm

It's pretty sound tbh. Duncan's too low and Magic's too high though.

#9 - Kobe Bryant
#10 - Bill Russell

It's so hard for me to rank players when they all come from such different eras, I hate these lists so much. I think I agree with the order, but I have a legit question I've been wondering about. How does one rank someone like LeBron James, against someone like Wilt, who played in such different circumstances that it's practically like they played in completely different leagues?

Stats? Hardware? Overall career? Is there a way to fairly rank?

Calvin Klein · Post #17 » by **Calvin Klein** » Wed Sep 22, 2021 7:32 pm

Looks pretty spot on to me. Order could be changed depending on who you ask but those are the 10 people that should be in.

Bornstellar · Post #18 » by **Bornstellar** » Wed Sep 22, 2021 7:34 pm

I'd probably swap Duncan and Shaq but pretty solid list otherwise

K3nny Pow3rs · Post #19 » by **K3nny Pow3rs** » Wed Sep 22, 2021 8:21 pm

I know Duncan has more rings, but I'd easily take Olajuwon over Duncan.
At both ends of the court Olajuwon is more dominant.
And I'd take Magic over Wilt, because they have about the same level of talent, but Magic is a winner.
And Kareem has the most unstoppable shot in NBA history, and more accolades than LeBron, so I'd take Kareem over LeBron.

Waiting for the Kobe fans outrage…

Great list though, surprised it came from inside hoops of all places
