Top 10 Players of ALL-Time

[coachmac87]

Chris Boussard just said Tim Duncan is not a Top 10 player ever....

How can he not be Top 10 if you claim him to be the best to ever play his position???

Here is my list

1. MJ
2. Bill Russell
3. Magic Johnson
4. Tim Duncan
5. Kareem-Abdul Jabaar
6. Wilt Chamberlin
7. Kobe Bryant
8. Shaquille O'Neal
9. Larry Bird
10. Oscar Robinson

[Ashy Larry]

[Kyle Orton]

Bill Russell #2

[JamStone]

I think LeBron Jones will end up being a top 10 player when his career is over.

[jeebus]

Bonner not on the list

[Bito Corleone]

Russell is not #2

Duncan is not #4

I don't know how I would rank them, but those two choices are dead wrong.

1. MJ
2. Cap
3. Oscar
4. Shaq
5. Wilt
6. Magic
7. Bird
8. Bryant
9. Hakeem
10. Duncan
11. Russell
12. Moses

I think you would say these 12 people would be in the top ten ....... if you have to leave two off, more than likely it would be Kobe and Moses. My ten would probably be:

1. MJ
2. Cap
3. Wilt
4. Magic
5. Russell
6. Bird
7. Oscar
8. Duncan
9. Shaquille
10. Hakeem

with Moses and Bryant 11 and 12

Not bad. I've come to change my opinion about Oscar. I would list Oscar closer to a borderline top 10 player. I probably put him behind Kobe even.

Oscar Robertson's career (his first 5 seasons especially) is still unbelievable by any standard. But over time and reading arguments by some people, I do temper the impressiveness of his career stats a lot more than I used to. We're talking about a 8-9 team league with nowhere near the athleticism it has today or even in the 80s and 90s. The same era that had Wilt average 50/25 for a season. As impressive as averaging a triple double is, I do think it has to be qualified. Plus he was playing 45 minutes a game. And to not win until pairing up with Kareem, I think that also hurts his cause when you're talking about factoring winning championships as a criteria for individual greatness.

A few years ago, I had Oscar ranked up there in the top 5 or so just like you. I've since changed my opinion. I think he's probably roughly 9-12.

[djohn2oo8]

^ That's ironic coming from "Stretch"

[davethedope]

Watch 2:32-3:22 It is for me what defines Cap, as you call him. Watch Billy C.'s reaction. I love this clip. Kareem hook, Kareem again.
Let the offense flow through you. Talk about closing a game.
He's got to be #2 on any sane list.

Why no respect for Bird?

While McHale and Parrish are Top 50 players, he defeated #3 and #5 on your list. That should be worth something

Plus Bird: 5x MVP

Not really. Wilt would've still dominated today's NBA in my opinion. Not to the tune of 50/25 or leading the League in assists, but he'd still be a 25/12/3ast/2blk superstar-type big man.

I'm much more on the fence for Big O. I haven't seen much of him play, I basically rank him based on his gaudy stats and in relation to where many others place him in their all-time lists.

Kobe: Not a top 10 player IMHO

Russell: I find ranking him #10 is the most fitting. He was a next generation player, especially on defense, in an old-school League, and he was a winner.
