You must be a ing moron to bash on Melo's ability to score, then say Arenas deserves mention.
1st team - Jordan, Kobe, Durant, Dirk, Kareem
2nd team - AI, West, Bird, Gervin, Wilt
3rd team - Archibald, English, Nique, Durant, Shaq

You're ing stupid. I said Arenas deserves a mention if people are putting Isiah on the guard list. Melo doesn't deserve 1st team love. This is too personal for you, relax.
lol thinking im taking this personal
lol thinking arenas is comparable to isiah
lol thinking lebron is the best pure scoring forward ever
Lebron doesn't have a single 60 pt game..so no.... stop being enamored with his girth
Arenas never faced true zone defenses or handchecking, nor did he play within a quality system designed to produce more efficient offense the way Zeke did.
Arenas would have been Vinnie Johnson had he played when Thomas played. Nothing more. And Arenas went to Arizona, the college I cheer for, so I'm enough of a fan to not be called a hater... Or ing stupid.
By choice not because of his inability. If he took the same FGA as Kobe he'll have a 60 point game by now.
Scorers will always find a way to score. Regardless of what era they play. Its just a convenient excuse.
This just shows how ING STUPID you are. Who cares how you score.....if you can score, you can in score. I could probably avg 30pts a game running by your dumbass with layups, am I not considered good at scoring? LMAO!!! at this stupid ass cut from the freshman basketball team, never went to college butter.
X2 How the can you judge scoring? If someone drops 50pts a night on your ass with 3pt'ers or layups, they are still a good scorer. Now if you break it down to shooting? or dunking or say free throws?....... Yeah, its easier to argue. But this doesnt get basketball at all. Stench.....LOL
Gonna try and make mine slightly different (trying to use a traditional lineup)
PG - Allen Iverson
SG - Michael Jordan
SF - Bernard King
PF - Hakeem Olajuwon (though if you don't consider him a PF you can put Nowitzki here)
C - Yao Ming
Funny you say Yao, because I was thinking of him heavily as well. He definitely had some great scoring talent to go along with his size and length. Too bad China screwed up his career... would have loved to see him have a full, healthy career.
How about a team of scorers who may not have had the most complete scoring game but are virtually unstoppable with their go to moves or their physical dominance? (not a traditional lineup)
G - George Gervin
G - Michael Jordan
F - LeBron James
F - Dirk Nowitzki
C - Shaq
Or a team of two-way players who were elite on both ends of the floor...
PG - Thomas
SG - Jordan
SF - James
PF - Duncan
C - Olajuwon
I've never seen a big with the touch Yao had as well as being a silky smooth shooter with such length/size. I agree man, China. Imagine how they'd be ballin with a healthy Yao + Harden
That's cool and all, but I clearly stated in the post, that it's not all about stats. I stated a number of different manners in which players are able to score should be considered as more of a factor than stats in this type of rankings.
If we went entirely by stats, then not a single player in the NBA today would be on the list, because none of them have as big of stats as players in the past. However, do a little research, and you see it is heavily influenced by the lack of defense played in the past, as well as the faster pace of game resulting in more possessions for everyone. Or in Wilt's case, the extreme lack of compe ion and physical match-ups allowed him to average 50 a season. But is he truly a better scorer than MJ? No way in .
lol utsa
Can't think of too many better than this. Only possible adjustment would be Kareem, however Shaq and Kareem would basically be a tie. Shaq for his physical dominance, Kareem for his unstoppable skyhook. Can't go wrong with either.
That would be a rough duo to go against...I've never seen a big with the touch Yao had as well as being a silky smooth shooter with such length/size. I agree man, China. Imagine how they'd be ballin with a healthy Yao + Harden
Hopefully this answered your own question............ WE WILL NEVER KNOW. He played decades ago. Maybe he would have done just as well. Is he a better scorer than MJ?.........Who the knows. Its all speculation. Im just going by what numbers Ive seen put up during the games, over a career. Thats all you can go on dumbass.
1. Dont get upset when people disagree with you.
2. You need to learn how to ing read. I said Mitch Richmond. Arenas was just a mention.
3. You need to comprehend. I never said he's the best pure scoring forward ever. I said he deserves to be on the 1st team.
You were decent at first then you resorted to twisting some of my statement. That's pathetic. Tbh.
Or you could have actually watched some of the players, and seen the skill-sets they possessed. Wilt didn't have a massive skill-set, just like Shaq didn't have a massive skill-set. Hakeem's was far greater. They both had more of a physical advantage, which resulted in better scoring stats, but everyone knew that they had limitations as to what they could do outside of using their size and strength advantage. Hakeem could pretty much do anything scoring wise that you could ask for a guy of his size.
On a side note, I have no idea why I'm even debating this with you, when 98% of the people on this forum can actually have a quality discussion on this matter, while you are more focused on bragging about your diploma, then coming on here and showing off your tremendous education with awful grammar, spelling, and a poor level of simple reading comprehension in general. You literally might be one of the 3 biggest dumbasses on this entire forum. I fully expect some sort of re ed reply with all kinds of nonsense, stupid insults that include calling me "stench" as if that actually has some sort of clever thought behind it, and pretty much the same crap as usual.
I've never considered blocking a user, and generally think that blocking a user is gay, but in your case, an exception might be made, because you are seriously that bad of a poster. Most people who's post quality is as low as yours, are intentionally trolling. You, on the other hand, are not.
fify, tbh, fwiw
taking this personal
You obviously have not been here long enough...
