October 27, 201411 yr No I don't think you do. People get too hung up on a ring many times. A player can't determine his teammates or how they play. A great player is a great player...ring or not. In general, I don't disagree. With the Mt. Rushmore, however? The ring doesn't mean anything when deciding the greatest ever to play the position?
October 27, 201411 yr I've got JD's list: Magic Stockton Isiah Oscar I agree. Magic is a no-brainer. If we consider Oscar a PG, he is a no-brainer as well. Of the five major stats in hoops (points, rebounds, blocks, steals and assists), Stockton was or still is the all-time leader in two of them - steals and assists - I believe. He is in. Isiah would be my 4th as well even though he was a punk - the man could play...
October 27, 201411 yr In general, I don't disagree. With the Mt. Rushmore, however? The ring doesn't mean anything when deciding the greatest ever to play the position? No. It shouldn't. Too many factors go into getting a ring that is beyond one player's control. If MJ was born at a different time how many rings would Stockton have?
October 27, 201411 yr No. It shouldn't. Too many factors go into getting a ring that is beyond one player's control. If MJ was born at a different time how many rings would Stockton have? MJ and company really made it hard for Stockton, Malone, Ewing, Barkley, and others to get rings...BTW, just looked up Stockton. He has 3,800 more assists than Kidd (second on the list) and about 600 more steals than #2 on the steals list. Stockton was incredible and probably does not get his due by a lot of people because he played in the Jordan era.

October 27, 201411 yr Magic Isaiah Stockton Kidd Are you saying you like Kidd more than Oscar or that you don't think Oscar is a PG??
