#7) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Weaknesses: Kareem had to have a dominating point guard in order to succeed. In Milwaukee, he had Oscar Robertson. when Robertson retired, they went from the NBA finals to a losing record (1974-75). The next year, Jabbar went to L.A, where he posted another losing record, playing with hall of fame guard Gail Goodrich (1975-76). His Lakers underachieved, even though he played with Norm Nixon, until Magic Johnson joined the team and made them great (1979-80). Jabbar was a major player on those teams, but without Magic, they aren't a contender. That is the biggest reason he is #7. If you draw names from a hat, what are the chances of getting Oscar or Magic? Anything less and Kareem's team will struggle. Furthermore, he was an underachieving rebounder when compared to guys like Wilt, Russell, Hakeem Olajuwon, and Nate Thurmond. Wilt led the league in rebounding at the age of 36. Kareem wasn't even the best on his own team at that age, averaging less than 8 per game.

Magic Johnson needing advantages of about 7 inches, 30 pounds, and being Black to take advantage of the white PGs in that era

And 5 per in 88. Unacceptable for a big.

So Duncan isnt that great?

Not my argument. Try to keep up Lefty.

[Galileo]

I always thought Artis Gilmore was just as good as Jabbar.

Game 7, at home, all on the line, you're the MVP and the best player in the world at your absolute peak.

And you get outplayed by Dave Cowens.

"Kareem played against real centers."

Are you speaking of Duncan in 2006 against the Mavs?

Game. Set. Match.

Oh you also said Dudley was better than Carmelo.

[LkrFan]

MVPAU = 0-16 without Kobe holding his hand. Why you keep doing this to yourself? Before Kobe, he was an afterthought. Now he's "MVPAU"

[100%duncan]

Laker fans giving us , I expected this and all in good fun.

I also expected Mavs fan.


But a Suns fan talking about championships

MVPAU = 0-16 without Kobe holding his hand. Why you keep doing this yo yourself? Before Kobe, he was an afterthought. Now he's "MVPAU"

Before MVPau, Kobe was shining shoes, in the lottery and was super ecstatic to get bumped in the 1st round. Even before that Kobe was Daddy's . Spin this Jaime
