[Kris P Lettus]

No Clyde Drexler??

[ct2k]

Like I said, 50th anniversary team, trying to make a definitive top 10 is impossible, I ended up with 20 or something before I admitted defeat

[ClockShot]

In no order.

Michael Jordan
Larry Bird
"Magic" Johnson
Wilt Chamberlain
Karl Malone
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Dr. J
Patrick Ewing
David Robinson
Oscar Robertson

[McLegend]

I have to many modern players in my list probably

My list is definitely not defintive, but I can assue you Clyde Drexler is not in anyone's top 10 list.

[McLegend]

And in like 5-10 years Lebron will be in the top 10.

[FakeLaser]

For real though:

Michael Jordan
Shaquille O'Neal
Larry Bird
Magic Johnson
Karl Malone
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Charles Barkley
Wilt Chamberlain
Dr J
John Stockton

[RP]

[ct2k]

[WestNZ]

1. Micheal Jordan
2. Dennis Rodman
3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
4. Charles Barkley
5. Larry Bird
6. Karl Malone
7. Kevin McHale
8. John Stockton
9. Scotty Pippen
10. Pero Cameron (not NBA, but way better)

But all these are only the top 10, AFTER Wilt Chamberlain. no one can EVER get close to this guy,

[ct2k]

Rodman #2?

Come on now, I know he was a defensive genius, got 5 rings and probably the best rebounder of the last couple of decades but he's not the 2nd greatest player ever.

[MMH]

what about AIR JORDAN

[FakeLaser]

1. Micheal Jordan
2. Dennis Rodman
3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
4. Charles Barkley
5. Larry Bird
6. Karl Malone
7. Kevin McHale
8. John Stockton
9. Scotty Pippen
10. Pero Cameron (not NBA, but way better)

But all these are only the top 10, AFTER Wilt Chamberlain. no one can EVER get close to this guy,
Wilt is great and all but he played in an era where he was so much bigger than everyone else. I think it's pretty clear that MJ is better than him.

[Supreme Olajuwon]

Agree with almost every name so far so just listing names nobody has mentioned yet:

Bob Pettit
Bob Cousy
Nate Thurmond
Wes Unseld
Elgin Baylor
Rick Barry
Bob McAdoo
Dave Cowens

can't believe nobody said Baylor yet

also Thurmond and Unseld would fuck Rodman's shit up on the boards

[SammyG]

The fact that Kobe Bryant is not listed in any of your lists is absolutely sickening. HATERS.

[Kris P Lettus]

Sam Perkins

[ct2k]

I can't believe Im the only one who said Pistol Pete

[ct2k]

The fact that Kobe Bryant is not listed in any of your lists is absolutely sickening. HATERS.


If you'd said James Worthy there I might be inclined to give you some sympathy, but Bryant?

Not yet

Wilt is great and all but he played in an era where he was so much bigger than everyone else. I think it's pretty clear that MJ is better than him.
Except Wilt played against Bill Russell...One of the greatest players ever

Michael Jordan is the greatest player of all time to everyone now because he is the last really great player to play the game, was MJ really that much better than Bird or Magic?

Magic Johnson played center in the NBA Finals during his rookie season, ridiculous

[ct2k]

I mentioned him but I'm gonna say it again anyway, the player who always stuck out most for me was David Robinson, he was like Scottie Pippen with an extra 6 inches of height and a better jump shot, phenomenal. If he hadn't had the injuries I think he'd easily be considered top 10 if not top 5.

Exactly, Magic was the only player that you could start at all 5 postiions. He may be the most versitile player ever.
