There aren't 25 players that are better than Gasol, tbh..

None of those teams won a championship btw. I think stacking teams with talent is still an overrated was to win a championship. Experience along with 2 Superstars and a boatload of supporting players who does their roles pretty well is still the best formula to win a championship (See MJ Bulls, Shaq's Lakers and Magics/Lakers & Bird's/Celtics.
The last time they had four top-25 players they went down in 5 in the Finals, which would make sense this time around too. Then again, they have nothing close to an 04 Shaq nor an 04 Kobe right now.
^GP was past his prime. That team had a big three, nothing more.
Bull . Payton was coming off a 20/8 season and only traded because the Sonics got sick of his mouth.
LOL, no way LJ was top 25 that year. Here's 35 guys easily better than him that year

6. Vince Carter
7. Grant Hill

10. Ray Allen
11. Glenn Robinson
12. Terrell Brandon
13. Dikembe Mutombo
14. Scottie Pippen
15. Hakeem Olajuwon
16. Charles Barkley
17. Eddie Jones
18. Tim Duncan
19. David Robinson
20. Antonio McDyess
21. Kevin Garnett

33. Jason Kidd
34. Chris Webber

Doesn't matter what he did the previous season. We're talking about what he did THAT season.
^ 'Eh, maybe replace Stoudamire with Divac.
So he becomes a lesser player because he had to share the ball with Shaq & Kobe?
Easily? Doubt that. Probably not Top 25 for sure, but its debateable considering its a lockout season and we can't really tell who's better than who other than the few obvious ones.
Also those bolded players are not easily better than LJ that season. Most of those players have better statistical numbers due to stat padding on a pretty horrible team, others were having an off season (particularly Pippen who pretty much had the worst season of his careeer in Houston)
Dude, Payton was just done after leaving Seattle. He wasn't a lesser player because he joined Kobe and Shaq. He just declined as soon as he wore a Bucks jersey and never recovered from there. Laker fans would attest to that. He was horrible there and not any better in Boston and Miami either, minus the very few and select decent games in Miami when they won the chip.So he becomes a lesser player because he had to share the ball with Shaq & Kobe?
Laker fans like to blame Payton when Kobe was the main guy who failed them. And his numbers were virtually the same in Milwaukee that they were in Seattle that year.
Can't blame Pippen for Barkley and Olajuwon not ever passing to him except at the end of the shot clock.
Btw, baseline Bum. That's a pretty good list you gave me. Shows you're truly a fan or have been watching ball in the 90's
Is Nash really a top 25 player?
Who are the top 25?
lebron/heat as well
