I agree, Scottie made Jordan better
Tim made people into all stars and into HOFers. Great players do that. Just ask Scotty Pippen.

I bet you’re a Trump supporter, too. Enjoy huffing your hydroxicloroquine and jamming light bulbs up your ass.
You just wait until corona starts claiming most of today’s big stars. When LeBron, Westbrick, etc. suc b theyre going to be lauded as the top players in the history of the world. It’s going to be disgusting if you’re one of the lucky ones to live to tell about it tbh.
What do you think Manu, and Tony would have done in the NBA without Tim? Rings elevate legacies.
David + Manu/Tony/Bruce would win some les but not a Dynasty
this. The lowest you can rank Duncan at is #7. Bill Russell And Wilt Chamberlain shouldn't be ahead of him
Wilt should be number 1 brah. Dude had seasons of double the average of Duncan’s best rebounding AND best scoring and 3xs the amount of blocks. Dude played a season of 48.5 minutes a game. Had another one at 47.5 minutes. Nobody is capable of that. Not Duncan, Jordan, Lebron, etc
Also is Durant ever wins another ring he’s gonna push out Jim. And better hope that Warrior dynasty is over too bc Steph needs one more ring to push Jim out too
Nobody was arguing Magic was ahead of Wilt even when he was playing, tbh.
Tbh both magic Tim and even Larry gotta factor intangibles. Stat wise Duncan ain't better than Bron but when talking intangibles I can see your case. The third spot could be Bron, Tim, Russell, Wilt bird magic depending on what you value. I really ride for Kobe but I would not put him top 5... Top 10 between 6-8 is about right
If only you guys knew how good Wilt really was. He could run a 40-yard dash in 4.6 seconds, had a 45 inch vertical, and could bench press 500 lbs at 7-2. He could hit from three point territory in practice routinely. He was so powerful that he blocked a shot and broke the guys arm. He actually lead the league in assists one year while averaging 24 rebounds. Most of the centers of his day were beasts and Wilt took more hard fouls than anyone ever in the NBA. I know most of you will blow all of this off. You didn't see him, so for you he does not exist. That's okay. I remember.
Russell is just historically insanely overrated IMO.. Yes he was a great Big.. But he played in an era with 8 teams, and his Celtics had nothing but HOF players on them.. People can say what they want about Wilt was too into his stats, not tough or mean enough Blah Blah.. It's mostly Bull when comparing them. He was better than Russell.. The Myth of Russell goes beyond the actual player.. Put him in the 90's and he is clearly better than Ewing, Hakeem, David, Shaq? No ing way..
If Lebron is in the conversation then so is Kobe, Shaq, Hakeem, Oscar etc
Hence Lebron is not in the conversation
Yeah I have read books about Wilt, watched Do entaries, seen as many games as I could find.. Wilt was amazing, and is underrated all time as people continue to this day to overate Russell.. Wilt was so far, and away the most dominate player of that time..
I like Lebron. But Number 2? ESPN Needing to soothe his Ego..
Smart strategy by ESPN. There is a growing percentage of the population dissatisfied with the current NBA product. ESPN's only option is to prop up the current players as just as good or even better. "Tune in Monday to witness greatness"
Notice nearly every current player on that list is ranked where they might end up. For example if Durant never returns from injury, will he remain ranked that high? His current credentials fall short to the players he is ranked above. Players should be ranked according to what they have accomplished as of this moment.
He was playing in a league with like 5 teams against regular white boys with 0 athleticism who couldn't shoot
And Jordan played against a grocery store bagger, a college 3 point shot, and sucky ass expansion teams
Get out of here with that weak son
Jordan beat almost every Dream Team member in the Finals or Conference Finals
Wilt was 2-4 in the Finals. And in one of those les he was the 4th leading scorer on the team.
Jordan would have had his ass handed to him if he played the 2010’s Warriors or Spurs in the Finals
He played teams in the 90s Finals
Who gives a about that. If you want to argue Jordan had a better career that’s fine. But Wilt had 13 more points than Jordan’s career high which in context is 1 point off from the difference between Bryn Forbes and Lebron James. Wilt had seasons of more than 3xs Jordan’s rebounding. Wilt had seasons of 5xs Jordan’s blocks. Wilt played over 48 minutes one season while the best Jordan could do was 40. In fact, Wilt never played less than 43 minutes a game. His stamina was ridiculous. Nobody can match it. His passing wasn’t much worse than Jordan’s either.
You can say that Jordan won and that’s true. No argument. But the league changed the game to help Jordan bc Jordan cried like a little about the physicality. Nobody ever brings that up. Jordan whined and ed to the media all the time about how mean the Pistons were and how they were trying to injure him He runs away from Oakley and Cartwright but punches Kerr. That in itself shows you how “tough” Jordan was. Dude was a . He couldn’t handle the physicality that Wilt received. People openly admitted they tried to hurt Wilt. Opponents openly admitted that they punched Wilt in the face, elbowed him as hard as they could, and tried to injure him when he dunked. And Wilt didn’t say about it bc he was an actual man.
We lost to Kobe, and the 2008 Lakers buddy.. I'm taking the 96 Bulls over them..
lol no
2008 Lakers frontline would skull the Bulls
And Jordan would be defending Kobe who is better than any math teacher Jordan was matched up against
Yoing Kobe dropped 33 on Mike in 98
Also, 2008 Phll was clearly better than 96 Phil
Its Tim mother er get it right.
Bynum, Gasol & Odom
Vs
Longley, Rodman & Kukoc
Pippen would guard Kobe. Jordan/Harper slack off and help downlow since Fisher is essentially Steve Kerr.
Basically Kobe vs Pippen, Jordan and Harper. I wouldn't discredit Kobe's abilities but that is a tall task
