Desperation from what? None of this is even that serious ...Im sitting here laughing at your posts. Thanks for the unintentional comedy ...
another bad list. I guess these writers don't value championships as much as they should. In the end it's who was left standing in the end. then you add domination and career in the equation
My list and the correct one:
1. MJ
2. Wilt
3. Kareem
4. Magic
5. Russell
6. Duncan
7. Bird
8. Shaq
9. Lebron
10. Kobe

Keep leveling
If it helps you in anyway ... you won!
I confess! An article that places Kobe 12th and also behind Tim is me "leveling".
Again just like in your most famous thread you were right EVERYONE else was wrong!!!
Now let me get back on topic I see someone else has decided to talk hoops instead of trying to measure virtual s on the internet or prove how big their brain is.
Yeah ranking is unimportant. Honk honk look, nothing but entertainment! I'm not upset!!! GODDAMNIT!!!! YOU!Q!!!!!

Pretty solid list. I swap Lebron and Bird*, Kobe and Shaq, Kareem and Wilt but those are just quibbles. But you did just say rings matter so I get Bird over James but Kareem has plenty more rings than wilt ...
*If Lebron never rings again I may reconsider. But Lebron already has a longer career than Bird and was probably more dominant. Interesting debate though.
Off the rails. Please post your ranks or more thoughts on the article or poster lists like the one above or get out of my thread. Thanks.
lol "ranking isn't important, I'm not leveling"
"I'd swap Kobe and Shaq"

Damn, you are a special kind of re . Why would I post a list if I did not want to discuss it? If that is what you mean by leveling then yes I am guilty. But not sure what your point is? I think kobe is a borderline top 10 player all eras if you say modern era only he is top 10 in my book right behind duncan just ahead of Shaq ...if that is leveling then Ok I am leveling ...
now can you get back on topic?
Why would you go looking for a 2nd opinion if it wasn't important to you? lol
12 got you flustered
I did not go looking. I read SI.com on the regular tough guy. And if I wanted to "level" they posted an article days before that had Kobe much higher though it was only a list of the best player not on the original 50 so I did not post.
I thought this one had more merit though because it was apples to apples.
12 like i said is fine by my me highest I could argue is maybe 9th tbh ...
And running around posting 12th or leveling in bold font doesnt mean you won.
It just means you biting thread's .
Like Nas once told Jay (paraphrasing) ...
How many of Cully's schticks gonna come out your fat fingers, DMC?
More & more each day. He's absolutely adorable.
He is but a bit bi-polar. He s on you one minute then sings your praises. Like the kid in 4th grade that has a crush on his first blonde, doesnt know how or have the courage to ask her for a kiss but punches her instead. Valentines comes around and he puts that extra piece of candy in her card box.
That DMC is confused but he loves him, some Cully. Probably loves me too ..the way he tries to look for hidden meanings in my posts.

At least 12 more times.
Dale understands me. He knows when the bombs start to drop I'll be in the trenches with him.
I bought her (Julie Smith) a stuffed animal, a collie on a special Saturday afternoon at Kresges. Collies were big in the mid-'60's. So was Kresge's. She broke up with me like a week later. And I asked for the collie back. She refused. Her gf told me later on she wrote in blue ink on the bottom..."This is as phony as you are, Dale."
It's fair game when it's posted on a public forum. Just like 12.
SI's troll game is strong.
Damn, Thread in just that one line ...you say so much!
Of course it's fair game.But you are still biting.
Funny thing to me is when not being an ass and sometimes even when you are you can be funny and original you dont need to bite and parrot his ...I loved the SI line earlier but dont get this crusade you are on about 12th.
Both ESPN and SI recently rated kobe 12th it doesnt mess me up ..I did say seeing McCallum place him the same exact spot it gave some additional credence to me, for ESPN's ranking of Kobe. He is not Jim Murray but he and Lowe are two of the better national guys that cover hoops. Again I might place Kobe at 9th but it's just a quibble. dont agree with his list fully but I can see his argument. and like i said I respect his work.
After that I kicked her in the shin on the way home from school one day. Her father told my father and my father beat me with his belt.
Years passed, I'd see her in JH, then HS. Nothing was said. We finally had a class together my senior year. Over that summer preceding my senior year I met Girl. It was a great Summer. Girl would come and wait outside that class room each day. I could feel Julie's blue eyes bearing into my back (she sat to my left, two desks down.) I always wanted to say something to her, but, never did. I'd catch her watching me at times.
You never get over your first love.

Laker fan on Spurs board used to call Spur fan every name under the sun when we said Kobe was at best 10 but likely 11-15. They called us homers and liars even when presented with tangible arguments instead of just the eyeball test.
We tried to explain how the use of advanced metrics and the new age media/fan is seeing players more for what they really are vs the legend of the eyeball test. Then factoring in other things (leadership, off court, etc..) it's not surprising to see Kobe consistently ranked outside of the top 10 and consistently behind Duncan.
Even casual fan votes have shifted in favor of Tim which astounds me more than anything seeing how many fans Kobe has.
2nd 12th
Appreciate your value add but you are bit off base. ESPN did rely more on metrics and peak.I dont think the SI article did I think it was more career if you read the article. i think your point would have made more sense to post in the other thread but your thoughts are always welcome. Arguing Kobe at 10 when his career was not close to being done made no sense either Deeps. Now it does. When I did argue Kobe over Duncan Kobe was up and Tim is down and now the tables have turned ...and I feel very different.The interesting thing here is two different set of parameters two different sites both placed Duncan over Kobe ... harder to make that case now (Kobe over Tim).
Casual fans dont matter here. Because if we did go there ... I still think Kobe would win that argument ...ESPN poll notwithstanding.
