3. Hakeem
4. Kobe
5. Dirk
6. LeRoids
7. KG
8. Iverson
9. Durant

10-Curry

Sorry but I can't have guys like Nash, Iverson and Kidd on this list. I would put Manu on it before them but I don't want to look like a homer so I rather put the young unproven studs.

Probably not the top 10, but his peak was short, didn't have the type of individual accolades (MVPs, scoring titles, etc ...) or team success the other guys have.

[DAF86]

^ anthony davis :lol

I look at it this way: If I was starting to build a team who would I pick to start a franchise, a young Anthony Davis or a young Iverson, Nash, Kidd, etc.?

Anthony Davis is a superstar prospect, but he hasn't done anything at this point to grab spots from known commodities like, Iverson, Nash and even Kidd. Kid needs to get healthy first and at least lead a team in the playoffs.

What he has shown this year is better than what any of those other guys have shown during their prime, imho.

not sure the thread is about starting a team. If that was the case, then it's not a good comparison because you are including "potential" as a variable. AD could easily break his leg next game and he wouldn't even be in top 100.

I thought based on the responses given, this thread was about best players during that 30 year timeframe. keyword "during" not "potentially"

Are we talking about pretty numbers that amounted to .500 basketball?

Nash value for Phoenix> Davis for his team now. You can't argue that. Iverson pretty much carried the woeful 76ers in the Finals. I like Davis but he's pretty much overrated at this point. He hasn't even scratched the surface yet to be even considered in this list.

[apalisoc_9]

with leonard's 2nd FMVP this year, I'd put him in my top 10

[hater]

with leonard's 2nd FMVP this year, I'd put him in my top 10

with his 1 Finals MVP and being missing the first 2 rounds for his team I put him squarely where he belongs on everyone else's list at #76

[spurraider21]

I'm surprised this guy is not on anyone's list.
why

[apalisoc_9]

Name me 5 players post Jordan that has won 2 straight FMVP?

yep..you can't.

[hater]

Name me 5 posters that think Kiwi has won 2 straight FMVPs?

yep... you can't.

[StrengthAndHonor]

why
I just think he's at least as good if not better (peak) than Manu. But you can't argue his overall impact post Jordan.

:lol there were about 30 players better than peak Manu in that stretch. it's not saying much tbqh

No, we're arguing about a player just playing basketball and being better than others. Team record depends not only on how their star player performs, tbh.

[apalisoc_9]

Leonard will win his 2nd FMVP this year...Bookmarke this prediction.

[StrengthAndHonor]

We can just agree to disagree. I still don't think Davis qualifies in this list yet IMO. His career highlights pales in comparison at this point.

I hope so :tu

but until that happens Kawhi only belongs in the thread called "TOP 100 since MJ"

guy hasn't even played 1 playoff minute. of course he doesn't belong :lol

:lmao :lmao :lmao you state this yet are stupid and hypocritical enough to claim Manu > Dirk because of Manu's team records :lmao

[apalisoc_9]

Manu is an all time great player and one of the best in the last 15 years...

[spurraider21]

I just think he's at least as good if not better (peak) than Manu. But you can't argue his overall impact post Jordan.
manu shouldn't be in the top 10 either fwiw. one of my 2 favorite players of all time, but i cant be having a career sidekick in my top 10

TMac > Carter

[hater]

all the 2nd tier guys: Pierce, Allen, Wade, TMac, Carter, Kidd etc come before Manu.

Manu doesn't show up until the late 30s IMO (and after Parker of course)

[spurraider21]

Manu >> Ray Allen

in Allen's best season as a #1 guy, Manu took his cookie in their playoff series :lol

[hater]

Manu >> Ray Allen

no way. Supplant Manu with Allen in the 2003-2010 Spurs teams and we win more



in Allen's best season as a #1 guy, Manu + Parker + Duncan + Bowen + Pop took his cookie in their playoff series :lol

FIFY

How many more times do I need to explain this to your low IQ Asian brain? To me having a better career doesn't necessarily means being a better player.

KG and D-Whistle are both overrated them, they belong in the bottom range of top10. Dirk on the other hand is a safe top5 imho.
