I like Pistol a lot, but he's where he should be.
No way should any big man come before Kareem.

Who reads Slam magazine? I literally don't know anybody who has ever read it or even owned a copy.
Putting Steve Nash on this list is hilarious.
also, I know they want to show some respect to the past, but Bob Pet , Dolph Schayes, & George Mikan don't belong in the top 200.
Dirk top 50
he's only behind magic and kareem
How can Shaq be in the top 5? No way he is in the immortal 6.
1. Michael Jordan
2. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
3. Wilt Chamberlain
4. Bill Russell
5. Magic Johnson
6. Larry Bird
Hakeem down at #13 is a joke. IMO he's the third-best center of all time, behind only Wilt and Kareem, and should be in the top 10 of this list at the very least.
Yup. Nash is Mark Price v. 2.0.
John Stockton at #22? Put Stockton on a team without Malone, and without Jerry Sloan coaching that pick and roll, and he's not even in the discussion. A good PG, yes, but not one of the Top 100 players of all time. But the 22nd best player of all time? C'mon.
For that matter, Nashy is a good PG, but outside of that run-and-gun circus offense, and he's just that... a good PG. Would you really take him over CP3? I don't think so.
People are always going to argue with these kinds of lists. This guy should be ahead of that guy. But, damn. They ought to be able to do better than Stockton at #22. Are we really supposed to believe that he was the second best PG of all time, behind Jerry West?

Russell would definitely be an all-star year in and year out in any era with his athleticism, his agility, and his intelligence. No way he's a top 10 player all-time though. Hakeem at 13 is flat-out lunacy.
My top 9:
1) Jordan
2) Magic
3) Bird
4) Kareem
5) Wilt
6) Shaq
7) Hakeem
8) Duncan
9) Oscar
10) Not sure who to take here between Baylor, Barkley, Erving, and Bryant
Take Stockton off that team and I wonder where Malone would be. Stockton was the heart and soul of those Jazz teams and by far their best big game player. Stockton was as clutch as they come.
He would have to put on some serious weight to even be relevant in today's league. What was he, like 210 lbs?
my top 10
1-jordan
2-kareem
3-magic
4-bird
5-shaq
6-hakeem
7-duncan
8-wilt
9-russell
10-baylor

Kobe over Hakeem?? Now that's just plain funny.
I honestly don't see how you can really have much seperation between where you rank Shaq/Hakeem/Duncan. I don't see how anyone can definatively argue that one was better than the other. it's so close....
He's the second PG on the list. Do you really believe that he was the second best PG of all time?
And to be honest, Stockton and Malone both owe a of a lot to Jerry Sloan. They were both great players in their own right, but a lot of their legendary status came from being together, and running that precise, repe ive pick and roll. I'm not knocking either one, just saying that the system made the most of them. And remember, neither of them ever got a championship - with two of the best players of all time, on the same team and in their prime.
I know just how good, and how tough Stockton was. But if I was trying to build a championship team, and had a choice between Stockton or Chris Paul? I'm taking Paul. But he's not even on the list, and Stockton is #22. It doesn't fit.
Too soon to put Lebron on any all time greatest lists.
Maybe Stockton, wouldn't be that great without Malone, but you can't really play the what if game with these lists because you simply don't know what he would've done without.
Andat Dennis Rodman actually being on this list
No it isn't.
Yeah, a rebounding specialist on the Top 50 list. Why not Horry? He actually specialized in winning games... and he has more rings than Elton John. He belongs there every bit as much as Rodman. Which is not at all.
And
Dirk deserves to be on the list. He should be on the list and Nash shouldn't. Why isn't Reggie Miller on the list?
the mind of reason speaks!
Because this list sucks complete ass.
