Duncan behind LeBron and Shaq? HA thats a joke, They need to put Duncan ahead of LeBron.
no, but he should be ahead of LeBron. was Hakeem even on the list?
Who cares? Duncan does not.
What a joke. Duncan is better than both. Where is Lew Alcindor?
I don't think anyone mentioned it, but DRob was #4. He should not be ranked behind LeBron, either.
These are the top 10 #1 lottery picks of all time. In other words, it ranks the best 10 #1 picks since the NBA Draft Lottery started in 1984.
*1985
I agree, Duncan should be top 2. LeBron hasn't won anything.
Thanks.
LeBron hasn'taccomplished anything yet. When he has multiple rings, maybe we can mentionhim in the samer company as TD.
Yes, top 10 lottery picks.
Timmy behind shaq and lebron is the biggest ing joke I've ever seen. He won 2 without the guaranteed hall of famers like shaq and shaq did'nt do a ing thing for miami. We can get to lebron when he's around a little, But it's Timmy hands down. Stupid ing espn all about popularity.
Wilt
Kareem
Timmy
This has reached a new level. LeBron James over Tim Duncan...just wow. Speachless.
Exhibit A of the overwhelming amount of bull hype that man is getting. He's a great player no doubt, but I just DESPISE how much the media is dying to crown him the best ever before he does anything.
WTF did you expect, we're talking about the 4 Letter Network here.
Self-serving sons a es would've preferred to not list Tim at all.
They know the truth, they just want to spin it their way to foll the casual fan. It's sad but they get away with that daily. Casual fan are like Lemmings.
Even a Lemming can tell the ing difference between 4 les and none!
Yeah but the problem with a lemming is that they're told something different, they're more likely to believe it, rather than research and figure it out for themselves.
Damn. Alcindor. West. Baylor. Goodrich. Hairston.
If we're talking about what those #1 picks did for their teams, I don't see how Tim Duncan can be anything but #1. What did Shaq do for the Magic that compares to four les? What has LeBron done yet?
Its like for the last 15 years or something, thats why Hakeem, Kareem arent on there.
You'd think that ESPN of all people would remember that Lebron wasn't a lock for the number one pick. Many people thought Carmelo would be a better pro. Nobody was going to pick David, Duncan or Shaq anywhere but number one.
Yep, Magic should be ahead of James as well. I'm not old enough to remember if he was flat out the guaranteed number one pick, though.
Magic Johnson was a pre lottery pick as well. The lottery came around in mid 80's due to the Rockets tanking to get the #1 pick.
Incidentally, Hakeem isn't on the list because he is the guy the Rockets tanked to get that lead to the creation of the lottery originally.
It's good to see Drob #4 but he truly should be higher, as should Duncan.
As Spurm pointed out...Shaq flat out screwed the team that drafted him. Nearly put them out of business.
I'm not a Lebron hater and truly think he is worthy of the hype, but it is too early to have him ranked #1.
As for him being a media construct...how come nobody complained this much when they did it with Jordan? It's pretty much the exact same thing. Actually, LeBron is much more accomplished at this stage of his career NBA-wise than Jordan was at the same age. Jordan had been annoited the one a good 3-4 years before he actually pulled something off, like making the finals.
When he wins they'll make a big deal about the torch being passed, just like they did with Jordan.
It's going to be funny if they make Kobe the passee...it's very unESPN like to downplay the home team that way.
