1. jordan
2. wilt
3. shaq
4. kareem
5. duncan
6. hakeem
7. magic
8. bird
9. drobinson
10. super tough i think those are the clear top 9, it could be a # of guys here ie. kg, barkley, both malones, oscar, stockton etc i'll go with kg tho

was off the top of my head too so i could be forgetting someone obvious

basacally these guys are all super hard to rank and i could see a case for anything out of the top 3 being changed, like u could name anyone from 4-9 and put them at #4 and i couldn't really argue with it.

LOL @ having a list with Shaq, Robinson and Duncan AND NOT having Bill Russell.

I don't think Russell is greater than MJ, So I would place him number 2, simply because he DOMINATED his era. Even the great Wilt had trouble against him.

Anyways, everyone's list should/will be different, simply because basketball/sports is like Religion or Politics, each person will have their own opinion.

EDIT: I remember watching NBAtv and they said that Kareem had never won a championship until Magic showed up. So wouldn't that put guys like Wilt, Russell, Shaq and even Hakeem, ahead of Kareem?

tommy heinsohn brought up a good point about russell vs wilt. wilt may have scored more points, but off the stat sheet, russell stopped so many points from happening on defense that he created a much bigger point differential in games then wilt.

Wait, I just read this...You guys have KG>>> Kobe and/or Duncan? KG might have been a good basketball player and a great defender, but he never did anything with the teams he was on. At one point the guy couldn't get out of the first round. So it's not like he was doing all this winning despite being on a really bad team. When he made it to Boston they had (including him) 3 HOF, and an upcoming PG.

I think Kobe won the Player of the Decade because of making 6 Finals appearances. He won 4/6 and Duncan "only" made 3. Also, you have to consider the markets in which they play, San Antonio isn't New York or anything, hell it's not even Houston.

And, I said LBJ had played 7 seasons which wasn't half of Kobe's 14, I meant including Kobe's playoff games. 6 Finals runs is almost 1.5 seasons, not including the rest of the years. So ya, it looked dumb because I didn't clarify it correctly lol

russell played with 239872 hall of famers in a 6-8 team league. he also was horrible on offense and wilt might have had "trouble" against him but he still scored a ton of points on wilt. Infact he abused russell countless times and the celtics were ok with that cause they would keep all of wilt's teammates in check.

some of duncan's supporting casts have been overrated imo. when they won in 02-03 david robinson was the 2nd best player. he was 37 and still good but nowhere near great while parker and ginobili were only decent at that stage. that team played the nets (lol) in the nba finals, but beat the defending champ lakers en route and duncan absolutely beasted those playoffs. obligatory lol per but look at the playoff #'s for the spurs that year

epinen the reason i say you and many others are ******s is that you are talkin about **** that happened in the 60s with such assertion. i wouldnt even dare make a list of GOAT because i cant speak about stuff pre 1995 with all the facts. i doubt you are an old guy or have watched tons and tons of tapes of every team that played 30-50 years ago so how the hell do you expect to have any credibility with your statements? what id appreciate is if you can explain to me what russell did bad on offense, give more insight into the "countless" times wilt abused russell, and talk about the specific other player matchups which allowed celtics to still do okay.

You speak of this beating that Wilt put on Russell like you're 100% sure on what happened. You don't know what the **** you're talking about dude.

Oh I know the stats and #'s for the game, it was a sick performance. He also shot 28/32 from the FT Line, which is crazy for a 7ft. Center. I never said he didn't have a spectacular game.

But Epi is talking about Wilt v. Russell battles as if he seen them. It's sickening to read some of the **** he says. For a Mr. Knowitall he doesn't back anything up with facts

Jordan is the only who played the same position, and he's not that good obv.

The rest all play diff. positions, and are asked to do different things. So if I were to choose someone off that list it would be a personal preference, and I wouldn't be able to back it with facts or anything since they have to perform differently.
