pretty cool to see people picking Tim over Kobe thus far.

1. Jordan. Not really a dispute here. Highest PPG in the playoffs in history. Got it done when it mattered. Unstoppable. Knew when to defer and when to dominate. Became the best defender in the league when people criticized his defense.

2. Jabbar. The best big in history, given his incredible longevity and all around game. The skyhook would still be unguardable today.

3. Magic. Could play the 1-4 reliably and the 5 in a stretch. 5 time NBA champ. Consummate teammate.

4. Duncan. Gonna get heat for this, but look at what he's done. 5 time champ just like Magic. 3 time Finals MVP. 2 time MVP, could have easily won 2 more MVPs. EIGHT TIME 1st team all defense. 10x All NBA FIRST TEAM, including last season (2013)! He has anchored one of the best defenses in NBA history for 17 years now. A true leader who defers when necessary, still putting up a double double in the finals even in his old age. Still, after 17 seasons, is a top 3 big in the league. Most minutes and double doubles in playoff history. And still dominated the Thunder in OT to lead the Spurs back to the Finals, then went to work every time he got the ball against an elite defensive squad.

5. Bird. 24/10/6 CAREER averages. With a bad back. Unreal skill, one of the sweetest shots in NBA history. Went head to head in probably the greatest dynasty rival in modern sports history and got 3 titles out of it.

6. Wilt. Really wish we could have seen him play in the modern era. No way he'd throw up 50/25 but he would most likely be the best center in the league in just about any year you put him in. Hakeem or Shaq in their primes vs. Wilt would have been an insatiable treat to watch. Realistic modern day numbers for Wilt in his prime: 28/14 with 3.5 blocks per game.

7. Russell. You can't argue with rings. You CAN however, point out his subpar stats and the fact that he was on the most stacked team in NBA history. Still a phenom who played incredible defense.

8. LeBron. You can't deny this man. Perhaps the most complete player outside of Jordan to ever play the game. Does every single thing at an extraordinary level, and if the past 2 seasons are any indication, might end up being one of the best shooters in NBA history as well. Could realistically post a 60/40/80 season and end up with 6 or more MVPs when it's over.

9. Hakeem. THE most complete center ever in the league. Was a SG in a large PF's body. Could probably still put up 12 and 10 today. Criminally underrated due to being on some truly atrocious teams.

10. Shaq. The most unstoppable force since Wilt. Incredible passer for his size. Dominant offensive player.

Wilt could be as high as 3 honestly but he's the only one on this list with much wiggle room imo.
