Jordan is the greatest of all time.
I wanna know who the players you guys considered to be the best 10 players to ever play the game.
Well heres my list:
1.wilt
2.kareem
3.jordan
4.hakeem
5.magic
6.bird
7.oscar
8.russell
9.duncan
10.shaq
Duncan can be anywhere between 6-9 when its all said and done.
I rank shaq that low because if he classified himself MDE, playin in the duncan era where no legit center poses a threat to him, he only has 3 rings. Comparing that to duncan, duncan has the same amount of rings he has and could add more.
Jordan is the greatest of all time.
Why?
Yes he was talented, Yes he was dominant, Yes he won championships, but you can say that about half the players in the top 10. Great list TD!
Jordan should at least be second. Kareem is great but not that great. I don't see either Wilt or Kareem dominate with the rules these days in the nba. It is hard to compare the old to the new but Jordan did it all.
worst ing list of all time
The old guys are dominant even if the game back in those days were more high possession games, and their stats inflated due to that, but wilt dominated. Didnt he avg 50ppg for 1 season, no one even avg above 40ppg i think in his dayz. What he has over jordan is that he shagged 20000 women.
Kareem would be dominant today if he was playin, who can stop the skyhook?
Nope Not the worst, but it has plenty of holes.
Hakeem Olajuwon is not even close to top 10.
Duncan and shaq might make it some day. Shaq, I doubt it.
Since I took 3 off
Here is 3 replacements, but most of you have never seen them play.
Bob Cousy
Hal Greer
Jerry West
if you don't like these, here is three
more I rank way before the 3 I took off.
Elgin Baylor
Julius Erving
Bob Pet
....
Jordan did everything by himself...
He made his players what they were... kinda like duncan and Shaq..
Without regards to number ranking....
Michael Jordan
Oscar Robertson
Bob Cousy
Wilt Chamberlain
Bill Russell
George Mikan
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Larry Bird
Jerry West
Pete Maravich
I stopped reading after you put Jordan at.............#3?????????
Obviously the players who would be considered to be the "Greatest of All Time" would be dominant and have championship experience---that's what puts them on the list in the first place.
However, MJ, isn't just your average dominating 6 time champion, MVP player. His game and what he brought to it, goes beyond that. He can score 50 some points easily. In his prime, he could easily lead his team to a 50+ win season. He made the Chicago Bulls and Scottie Pippen and PJ whot hey are today. But, aside from all that, he had the best ALL-Around game of any player on that list. People say he hogged the ball? He silenced his critics by leading the league in assists. People say he couldn't win a championship? He won 6 in a row! People said all he was is a shooter? He silenced his critics by making All-Defensive First team.
Yes, there are players out there like Duncan, Shaq, etc. who are dominant and have rings to prove it. But how can you discount a guy who changed the face of basketball, who managed to lead his team to 6 straight NBA Championships and 6 Finals MVPs, and a man who still has to be considered the #1 clutch player in basketball?
Now, I may agree with the names on your list, but #1? Has to be MJ without a doubt.
Well...You are an IDIOT! Kareem over Jordan...Are you kidding me? I am assuming you are just trying to get a rise out of people here...Honestly...if you think Kareem is better...You are a total moron, and I honestly mean that, your basketball knowledge is limited to the stats on NBA.com that you (I assume) just glanced at and was like "wow Kareem, he played for a long time and scored a lot, he is better then MJ" honestly, I feel dumber after taking time to actually call you out on this topic and I cannot believe that you would actually waste our time by writing garbage like that on this quality message board!
1- MJ
2- Magic
3- Wilt
4- Bird
5- Russell
6- Oscar Robertson
7- Julius Erving
8- Hakeem
9- Shaq
10- KG
KG over Duncan? How many MVP's does KG have? How many times has he carried his team to the top? Statwise--he's comparable to TD. However, he has yet to prove that he can take his team to the top, ala Tim Duncan.
so because he doesn't agree with you...he is an idiot?
its an opinion....its not right or wrong...you have yours others have theirs...doesn't give you the right to be an asshole. I could say the same about your list with KG over TD seeing as TD has 2 reg. season MVP's, three finals MVP's and three rings but I won't because I don't have the right to insult you because you feel a certain way. I may disagree but I support the right of you to voice your opinion.
My Top 10
1- Russell
2- MJ
3- Wilt
4- Magic
5- Kareem
6- Bird
7- Hakeem
8- Duncan
9- Shaq
10- Dr. J

That's funny, because I don't recall calling anyone an idiot in my post.
You were talking to the other guy......my bad!
its ok 1P..as long as you know it wasn't toward you.
awww. Thanks, you idiotits ok 1P..as long as you know it wasn't toward you.
Jordan is greater than Kareem and Duncan is greater than KG. Those things I know and Bill Russell as #1? How can you compare these players to the greatness of Jordan. Especially in the early 90's.
1. Jordan
2. Russell
3. Abdul-Jabbar
4. The Big O
5. Bird
6. Magic
7. Duncan
8. Hakeem
9. Wilt
10. Shaq
None of us "know" which player is the best of all time. We have opinions and theories but nothing concrete. These "best of all time" lists are all subjective because no two people have the same criteria. Without estabilshed agreed on criteria there can be no fact and with no fact....its all opinion and if its all opinion no one is right or wrong. Best player I ever saw play was MJ with Magic a close second.
Russell has 11 rings!!!
Jordan never had a good center though. That is remarkable in itself.
Cartwright was pretty good.
Yes MJ is the greastest, but Russell has to be RIGHT up there.
