Pippen, Barkley, Malone, McHale or Isiah
Take Kareem off the list. What did he really do in the 80s
Now it's been established that most people don't rate players from before the 80s - either because the guards can't dribble with either their off hand or without keeping their head up or the bigs were dominating midgets, it means we can eliminate West, Russell, Wilt & Oscar . Who are the top 10 players of all time?
mj
magic
kareem
duncan
lebron
Olajuwon
Shaq
Kobe
Bird
I can't think of the tenth?
Pippen, Barkley, Malone, McHale or Isiah
Take Kareem off the list. What did he really do in the 80s
Jordan
Magic
Bird
Duncan
Kobe
Lebron
Hakeem
Russell (era be damned)
Shaq
Kareem
In that order
1. Jordan
2. Bird
3. Magic
4. Duncan
5. Kobe
6. Shaq
7. Hakeem
8. James
9. Pippen
10. Barkley
Always find it hard to put Pippen near the top because of his lack of jump shot, despite the fact he was good at most other things.
1. Duncan
2. Hakeem
3. Moses
4. Magic
5. Bird
6. MJ
7. McHale
8. Barkley
9. Sidney Moncrief
10. Shaq
Leonard, Kawhi will be in this list 5 years from now.
The original premise was re ed but the best players since 1980:
Jordan
Magic
Bird
Duncan
Moses
Hakeem
Shaq
Lebron
Kareem
Then it's a few names together like dirk, kg, Kobe and Barkley that are pretty much the same.
So Karl Malone was what exactly?
A player with such great acting and poetic kinesis, he'd put Janet Jackson to shame.
And you guys think some of today's players can flop. Cue the 90's vs. present comparisons again.
I put him equal with Barkley. Karl better career but Charles better peak
Dirk over Pippen? I don't see it
Jordan
Kareem
Magic
Shaq
Duncan
Lebron
Wilt
Bird
Big O
Tony Parker

That picture was taken in Houston after they won the 1981 Finals.
Top 10 in no order
Jordan
Magic
Bird
Wilt
Russell
Jabbar
Shaq
Duncan
Olajuwon
Moses Malone
if Lebron wins another championship I can see him taking Bird's place.
Having Bird over Magic probably won’t work, figuring Magic is 2-1 versus Bird when it really mattered and shoulda been 3-0 (gift in 1984).
Top Ten will usually have 11 names, in no order
Jordan
Jabbar
Magic
Bird
Duncan
Bryant
O’Neal
Olajuwon
Robertson
Russell
Chamberlain
James will make it 12 shortly. Once the ring total increase, shoo in.
You say "in no order" but you put Jordan first and Tim ahead of Kobe. That's your subliminal mind keeping you honest.
Bird is not above Duncan,,look at the numbers. Top 5 should be somewhere around MJ, Magic, Duncan, Kareem, and Russell.
So Lakers had the #2 & #3 player and yet accomplished? Where is McHale or Parrish?
Anti-White Bias
3-1 if you count the Michigan State-Indiana State final.
Interesting
Moncrief was a fantastic 2 way player
Duncan in a top 5
Belongs in Hall of Fame. Was just a notch below Bird and Magic in his time.
Maybe. Maybe not. I have them in the 6-8 range along with Shaquille. You could put the three in either place and I probably wouldn't have a problem with it.
If you're counting college and professional, Jabbar is probably number one. Dude's freshman squad was ting on the nation's number one team. UCLA's varsity squad.
