Top 4 is tough, but I really think SN is undervaluing defense. KG should probably be #2 behind Timmy.
Current Top 10 according to SN:
1. Malone
2. Duncan
3. Barkley
4. Garnett
5. McHale
6. Dirk
7. Elvin Hayes
8. Bob Pe
9. Dennis Rodman
10. Dave DeBusschere

Pau Gasol wimped out, bowed to the pressure of Kobe and got cucked by Shannon ing Brown. No
Gasol was good for two years. The rest of the time he was good but irrelevant on the Grizz. He couldn't even get them out of the first round.
Their list loses credibility at Malone being ranked over Duncan, tbh....
I'd have Duncan over Malone. Not because of championships (even though that could make a case), but because Malone had Stockton to hand him many of those points through the pick n roll throughout his whole career. Duncan was beasting before Parker, with Avery, Terry Porter and Antonio Daniels at PG.
Dirk is better than KG.
Duncan at #1 is obvious.
Rodman shouldn't be on the list, nor should Dave DB. I'd take Webber and Schayes over them.
Malone had a top 5 PG, set all the scoring records and still couldn't win a championship.
1. Duncan
2. Garnett/Nowitzki
4. Malone/Barkley
6. McHale
7. Hayes
8. Pet
9. Gasol
10. ???
Rodman doesn't belong on the list, tbh..great player and HOFer, but a guy that couldn't create his own shot doesn't belong on these lists, unless he benefited from a scarcely televised generation(Russell)..
1. Duncan
2. Garnett
3. Nowitzki
4. Barkley
5. Malone
6. McHale
etc.
Dirk over KG!
agree with this list, and i would still put rodman at number 10, even though he couldnt create his own shot.. but his presence on the defensive end, as well as offensive boards was impressive, we talk about scoring and all the time, but doesnt defense win championships?
- two-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year
- eight-time NBA All-Defensive Team selection
- two-time All-NBA selection
- fourth all-time in offensive rebounds in NBA history
- tenth all-time in rebounds per game in NBA history
#10 is deserved imho
Dirk at #6
Malone is borderline top 5 at best. Never winning a ring does ya in like that.
lol butthurt Jazz fans propping him up in the rankings despite the fact that Duncan has proven his superiority innumerable times by dominating on the biggest stage of the sport.
This is hoe right here. Before Kobe he was 0-12 and a Spur Fan afterthought. With Kobe he went to 3 straight Finals winning two. Make up your mind - either he is a great PF or he sucks major ass. I guess it depends on your agenda.
Act like somebody for once, you old, decrepit, racist, asshole.
By your logic LBJ shouldn't even be in the top 10 all-time conversation that you guys keep putting him in. I've held firm that he doesn't belong. Why? He won 33% of the Finals he played in, after all.
Yeah because Dirk and KG wouldve rang during the Jordan era.
I dont even think Timmy wouldve.
Which re put this list together.... what in the ?
1. Duncan
2. KG/Dirk
3. Charles
4. Malone
5. McHale
Now ppg matter eh?You guys are quick to dismiss Kobe as having a better career than Duncan - nevermind that he's a top 5 scorer in league history. To a man, prime Rodman would shut down every PF you have on this list. He's a 5x champion too. Not bad for a player who averaged 7.3 ppg and 13.1 rpg over his career. He could literally guard all 5 positions on the court. I'm glad the HOF got it right in voting him in. He surely don't get any love around these parts.
Spurs fans kill me trying to make Duncan the best at something.
When asked who the starting center would be in Game 1 against the Jazz, Pop treated it as a silly question and said: “Tim Duncan, like we have for the past 15 years.”

PF or C, hes still the player of the decade tbh.

So you're telling me that David Robinson played PF from 1997 - 2003? Lol get real. Or how about from 2004-2005, after Robinson retired, when we had Rasho Nesterovic and Nazr Muhammad at Center? Were either of them a PF? Lol no. Or from 2006 - 2008 when we had Francisco Elson and Fabricio Oberto at Center? No again. Or how about now? Is Tiago Splitter a PF? Yea right.. Yes, Duncan's played some Center in his career as the game has become more about speed than size. Same thing Kevin Garnett is doing. Is he a Center just cause he's played there for 2 years now? No. Duncan is a PF who has played at C for spurts in his career, but has played far more PF than Center.
And that quote was taken out of context. You know that.
