April 15, 201115 yr Another thread got me thinking that it would be interesting to see who everyone says is the best NBA players ever, or in your opinion the best that you remember watching? List as many or as few as you want.
April 15, 201115 yr Author Personally I don't know if I could list them in order. Right now I will just name the ones that I can think of in no certain order. Bill Russell Wilt Chamberlin Bill Walton John Havlicek Kareem Abdul Jabbar/Lew Alcindor (his real name ) Larry Bird Maurice Lucas Elvin Hayes Karl Malone Majic Johnson Michael Jordan Kobe Bryant I know that there are plenty others, I don't watch a whole lot of NBA now and am sure there are some that I just am not thinking of. As for Lebron James, he as far as I am concerned can take his talents elsewhere.
April 15, 201115 yr To quote Chris Mullin, former Dream Team player referencing Michael Jordan. "He is the best player that has ever played the game or will ever play the game" I have to agree with him.
April 15, 201115 yr Michael Jordan Wilt Chamberlain Magic Johnson Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Oscar Robertson Julius Erving Jerry West Larry Bird Kobe Bryant Hakeem Olajuwon Tim Duncan Moses Malone Bill Walton Shaquille O'Neal Kevin McHale Those are in no order of ranking and there are many great ones I did not mention.
April 15, 201115 yr My top 10 looks like this: 1. MJ 2. Wilt 3. Magic 4. Kobe 5. The Big O 6. Russell 7. Shaq 8. Larry Legend 9. Tim Duncan 10. Kareem
April 15, 201115 yr Players I have seen..... Kobe MJ Magic Bird Thomas LeBron Stockton Malone Mullin Wilkins Olajuwon Ewing Robinson Duncan Miller Shaq Barkley Pippen King Kareem Moses Dr. J That is off of the top of my head. May have missed a few but I named guys who I think would still excel if they played today and vice versa.
April 15, 201115 yr Top 10 since I've been alive & can remember watching: 1. MJ 2. Kobe 3. Shaq 4. Tim Duncan 5. LeBron James (will pass Shaq & Duncan, maybe Kobe) 6. Hakeem Olajuwon 7. Charles Barkley 8. Karl Malone 9. John Stockton 10. Kevin Garnett
April 18, 201115 yr Author Noticing the name on a couple of other post I have to add Tim Duncan and John Stockton to my list, can't believe I had forgotten them.
April 18, 201115 yr Author Listing them in order for me is next to impossible but I will try. COACH: Red Auerbach M. Jordan W. Chamberelin L. Bird B. Russell M. Johnson K,A, Jabbar E. Hayes K. Bryant J. Havlicek K. Malone Like I said, its impossible for me, I could do it over and have a compltely different order. Except for Jordan, he was the best.
April 18, 201115 yr Noticing the name on a couple of other post I have to add Tim Duncan and John Stockton to my list, can't believe I had forgotten them. I am very interested to see how history treats Tim Duncan. He is always forgotten.
April 18, 201115 yr Author I am very interested to see how history treats Tim Duncan. He is always forgotten.:thumb: Duncan is great! I know what you mean, he definately belongs amoung the very best. What's the take on Pete Maravich? Pistol Pete is imo one of the very best/elie college players ever. Maravich was imo more known for his college carrer than pro. He still was a very good pro.
April 18, 201115 yr What's the take on Pete Maravich? Pete is in the same boat as Archie Manning was. Both were in New Orleans with terrible teams. Two of the best college players of all time.
April 18, 201115 yr My top 10. 1. MJ 2. Wilt 3. Bill Russell 4. Larry Bird 5. Kareem 6. Oscar Robertson 7. Kobe 8. Magic 9. Shaq 10. Jerry West
