While I am guessing this is sarcastic, I would like to point out that the only two players that come close to Duncan (barkley and Malone) both agree that Duncan is the best power forward ever.
:tu As did Kevin McHale and Jerry Sloan (Malone's coach)

if lebron has a career ending injury tommorrow, 5 yrs from now no one will care.

He'll be the grant hill or penny hardaway of our era.

What I'm trying to get at is he hasn't proven anything yet.

He can still be the best to ever play though..

That lineup is pretty damned hard to argue with. Kareem was able to keep playing well past his prime and still be effective, but he had one hell of a supporting cast, too. And he was freakishly tall during the years he racked up his biggest stats. Most of the guys trying to guard him were giving up 5 inches or more. Also, a lot of people who didn't see him play don't realize that he only weighed about 230. When he tried bringing that weak shit against Hakeem, it didn't work so well. Even with both in their prime, Hakeem was the better player.

Kind of bizarre that the guy listed at the point was 6'9". But Oscar Robertson is the only other point you could even try to put into that slot.

Bird and Jordan speak for themselves... and screw anybody that hasn't gotten with the fact that Duncan is the best PF of all time. You won't get any argument from NBA players, who know better than anyone.

Yeah, we all know, Dallas still lost, but that was not Dirk's fault. If you average 26.8/12/4 over the whole series (and lead the league in PER during the playoffs), it is not your fault. The rest of the team (maybe except Bass) didn't show up at all.

In the year or two I have been on this board I have made this arguement for Wilt at least 5 times. Wilt was just dominate. And I don't want to hear it was because he played against 6 foot white guys, that was the 40s. When Wilt would go up against Kareem in the 70s (When Wilt was in his 30s and Kareem was in his prime) Wilt would tear up Kareem. And this was after Wilt lost some of his athletic ability.

Basically all the things that made Kareem and Hakeem so good were all in Wilt's play books, only twice as good. The only reason people don't understand this is because Hakeem and Kareem traslate easier to today's game as it has only been a short while since they have played.

Not to take anything away from Wilt's greatness; dude scored 100 pts in a game; he grabbed 55 rbds vs Russell; he even finished a season as the best passer in the NBA :wow

But I can see Kareem doing a good job defensively on Wilt; he had the necessary length and defensive fundamentals to do it; plus, I don't think Wilt could stop the sky hook.

Regarding Hakeem, nobody could stop him, nobody; dude would give a headache to Wilt.
Defensively, I think Hakeem would do a good job a t keeping Wilt away from the basket.

Glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't have Duncan on the all time first team. Outside of being slow, unathletic, terrible 1 on 1 defense (see Amare 40ppg series, not guarding Dirk), and a terrible outside shooter, all he had was good help rotations and a good shot from one spot on the whole floor, the bank shot. Oh, and the uncanny ability to pick up the pussiest whistles after bricking layup after layup. I think TD misses more point blank shots than any "superstar" I've ever seen.

You are either trolling, an idiot, or both.

first Malone and barkley both have stated TD is the best PF of all time.

Your 3rd team Robertson was a PG, not a SF, Wes Unsled was a center.

On your 4th team, if you are going to change player positions you need to put Dr. J in front of Drexler. The Doctor literally carried the ABA and pretty much forced the NBA to accept the ABA-NBA merger.

Wilt in his prime was actually the best outside defender probably of all time. Like I said, Wilt was the fastest quickest strongest highest jumping player the NBA has ever seen. Had the stat for blocked shots been kept Wilt would have averaged well over 10 a game for a career. Plus Wilt could actually block Kareem's sky hook with his head. I have a picture I will have to scan onto this web site just to show you guys how high he could get easily, but I'll describe it for now. Wilt is next to a 7 foot pole and on a standing jump his waist is above the pole. Not to mention Wilt ran track at a high level, he also jumped 7 feet on the high jump back before the much easier way used today was invented.



Don't waste my time with your idiotic posts. Wilt went up against the Boston Celtics teams of the 60s that had 3 future all of famers at any given time. I'm talking first ballot hall of famers. Also in the 72 finals Wilt scored 24 points and grabbed 29 rebounds with a broken right hand and a sprained left hand to close out the championship.
Theres's nothing wrong with Wilt being the second or third best center of all time...

I'd say Baylor is better than Bird, but Bird had a stronger career. Baylor was in the finals 9 times and walked away empty each time I believe. Maybe it was a little less than that. I know Jerry West was 1-7 in the finals.

Fun fact, Baylor was the first player to score more than 60 in a playoff game. In fact he would have several scoring titles had he not played in the same time as Wilt.
Baylor was 0-7 in the finals.

Agreed. But i was posting as best player and that didnt have titles as a factor. If that was the case guys like Barkley and Malone dont get consideration. If the Lakers in the 60's werent going against a team with 4 or 5 hall of famers then Baylor and west each have 8 or so titles.

Wilt deserves all the praise he should get he was the real deal.

7'3, long arms, with a nice touch. He would dominate in today's game too. Maybe he wouldn't be as dominant, but you guys are really underrating too much the people he had to go up against in his day. They really weren't that much worse than today's defenders. They were smaller but a lot more scrappier.

In short, Wilt would be the most dominant big man easily if he played today

SG- Jordan
SF- Bird
PF- Malone
C- Hakeem

2nd String:

PG- Stockton
SG- Kobe
SF- Pippen
PF- Barkely
C- Kareem

The 2nd team could give the 1st team a surprisingly good run for their money.

Good list EXCEPT ....

Malone is NOT better than Duncan. Stockton is NOT better than Isiah ...and you could argue that Lebron is ALREADY better than Pippen and has accomplished more EXCEPT win a title ...
Dont get me wrong I am no longer a witness ...but he has done more on his own than Pip ...Without Mj pippen has done hardly squart except choke in clutch moments ...

Am I Right???

1. Magic
2. Kobe (Yes I'm a huge Kobe fan)
3. Bird
4. Duncan
5. Kareem

You're right, except for Jordan at Kobe's spot.

SF?

The man was 6'9. New to me but I'll take your word for it.

Just thought he deserved some recognition.

Why would you nominate Worthy if you aren't even sure whether he is a SF or a PF?

My 5 are based on putting together a team that could & would win Championship after Championship after Champuionship...for an eternity or until they hit the big 35.

An argument can be made that another player or two might be better individually at a particular position but, as a team owner/GM/Head Coach I want guys who are proven winners as well as team leaders. And if someone would loan me a couple $Billion$ I would also make the greatest team owner of all time or at the very least I'd have a blast for a year or two trying.

I'll make sure to include his last vital signs, LDL and HDL levels and lastly his BMI reading. Really dude. :rolleyes So I didn't bother to Wiki James. My point only was why no consideration for James. If you don't agree. Don't acknowledge the post.

Finally someone who knows what they are talking about.

Wilt was actually 7'1" but if you saw him you would think he was around 7'4". He always had skinny legs, but he had a huge upper body. Luke Jackson was a team mate of his, Luke was pretty big, around 6'8" and thick, Wilt made him look like nothing.

It just takes common sense. Yeah Chamberlain played against guys who were a little smaller but there's no way anybody else could score 100 like he did. Thats absurd.

I mean at the worst these guys are about as small as those big men you see in the Olympics from Greece and Spain and stuff, and if our big men struggle against them, I don't see why they would all of a sudden dominate like Chamberlain did in his time

What does vital signs, LDL and HDL levels have to do with nominating him as the greatest at a position?

And you have to Wiki James Worthy even though you are a Laker fan? It's like people nominating Albert Einstein as the best biologist of the 20th century, only to find out he was a physicist/mathematician. Einsteins vital signs, LDL and HDL levels have nothing to do with how good a scientist he is.

And no, if I don't agree, I will state that I don't agree. That's the whole point of a forum, isn't it?

I still haven't figured out why you would nominate Worthy as one of the best PF if you don't even know whether he is a PF or SF.

Besides, he is not even the best SF in his draft class.

I hate putting people on pedistals whom I have never seen play a significant amount.

So I am going to limit my selections to people from the 1996 Finals on...

Kidd
Jordan
LeBron
Duncan
Shaq


Yeah, I know, not a list that is particularly relevant. I think, based on what I hear, Duncan edges out both Malone and Barkley (and not because of titles, just all around). I think Moses Malone deserves some chatter for best center.

Did Oscar or Magic play defense?

Glad to see I'm not the only one who doesn't have Duncan on the all time first team. Outside of being slow, unathletic, terrible 1 on 1 defense (see Amare 40ppg series, not guarding Dirk), and a terrible outside shooter, all he had was good help rotations and a good shot from one spot on the whole floor, the bank shot. Oh, and the uncanny ability to pick up the pussiest whistles after bricking layup after layup. I think TD misses more point blank shots than any "superstar" I've ever seen.

pretty much. I bet you won't agree, but anyone who says Tim gets more than his share of calls is blind. It's quite the opposite, Tim gets hacked or bumped without a call more than any other superstar.

most bigmen that play in the post do. but duncan gets away with his share of fouls as well, such as when he holds his opponents with his hand on their hip, tugging them down so that they dont get a good jump and make it easier to block their shot.

all great bigmen got hacked a fair amount, but also got away with a fair amount. it balances out.
