Don't know who would come off, but Kobe and LeBron are on the new list. Not even worthy of a discussion.

[Irish Cat]

Add Duncan and Garnett to my list.

[PurplePride92]

Add Iverson.

[PurplePride92]

Paul Pierce? DWade?

[PurplePride92]

I think Pierce and Wade are better than Drexler and Worthy. Am I wrong?

I think Pierce and Wade are better than Drexler and Worthy. Am I wrong?

 

I'm not sure about that.

[Jumper_Dad]

I think Pierce and Wade are better than Drexler and Worthy. Am I wrong?

I think Drexler stays, Worthy can go!

[Jumper_Dad]

Guys you've added 7, got to take some off of the list to make room!

[sweet16]

I think Pierce and Wade are better than Drexler and Worthy. Am I wrong?

 

After thinking, worthy off but not Drexler

[Jumper_Dad]

I'd pull Pippen to make room for LeBron and pull Worthy to make Room for Kobe

I think Drexler stays, Worthy can go!

 

I agree. Worthy goes.

 

Drexler was a 10 time All Star and 1 time Champ. Career average of 20.4 and 6.1

 

Worthy was a 7 time All Star and 3 time Champ. Career average of 17.6 and 5.1

Worthy had more rings, but that probably has more to say about Magic and Kareem than Worthy

 

Pierce is a 10 time All Star and 1 time Champ. Career average of 21.3 and 5.9

He should be on the list

 

Wade is 10 time All Star and 3 time Champ. Career average of 24.3 and 3.7

He should be on the list as well, however, like Worthy you have to give his teamates a lot of credit for those last two titles.

Wade beat the Mavericks by himself for his first title. None of those others won a title by themself.

[PurplePride92]

It's hard to be able to say who goes off when I have only seen those players who were active in the 1980s to now play. I can't accurately assess how good those from the 70s and before were. My top 50 list would remove most of them but I know that isn't a logical list.

:lol2: it's killing you defending him!!!
