April 8, 20187 yr Jordan LeBron Russell 42 I think Russell is getting a bit undervalued. His sheer number of championships, stint as a player-coach, and huge social impact are remarkable.

April 9, 20187 yr MJ not in someone’s top 3; that’s a new one for me.It’s honestly debatable. Personally I go back and forth about MJ or Magic, but the top 5 or so is a very tight group. I went with my top 8 because the’ve al got a legit case for top 3. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hakeem is solidly somewhere in spot 7-12....he is not a top 3 all time player, and generally sits behind Kareem and Wilt at C, much less all time top 3. Quote Whatever the fuck happened there with the post. Point is Hakeem is getting a home town discount...it's understandable, I personally would not agree with it Edited April 9, 20187 yr by Surly Bevo cock.....balls

I do believe Russell was great I don't necessarily think he is a top 3 player even if I did rate players that I never saw play. My three that I listed earlier and Magic are pretty much the only 4 I would really consider with a legit GOAT claim.
April 9, 20187 yr I can't believe I've only seen Russell once other than my original tweet. Bill Russell played in the 60s, not many people here would have seen him play.
April 9, 20187 yr The video on Russell is pretty ridiculous. He’s huge, he runs and jumps like a deer, and he has touch and skill. Looks like he’d be a star in any era.
April 9, 20187 yr My grandpa used to rave about Bill Russell and he was a damn encyclopedia when it came to basketball. I tend to believe he is probably top 5 all time.
April 9, 20187 yr I think Kevin Durant will be considered one of the best of all-time 10 years from now. the association is deep and overflowing with talent right now, and he'd be the first person on any GM's wish list.

April 9, 20187 yr He didn't work hard enough on defense and lots of times, he didn't even run downcourt, and he didn't really try except during the playoffs Edited April 9, 20187 yr by Mole

April 9, 20187 yr It’s tough for Kareem to crack the top 3 all time when he’s the third best center of all time.

April 9, 20187 yr 4th best center to play for the Lakers? Just kidding, kind of. Mikan, Wilt, Shaq, Kareem.
April 9, 20187 yr Yall must be trolling about Kareem or only remember him from 1985-89. And he was finals MVP in '85 at age 38.
April 9, 20187 yr Bill Russell Magic Kareem 50, and I hate the fucking Lakers, but damned if they didn't have 2 of the top 3

April 9, 20187 yr Dirk LOLz. an absolute defensive liability has no place in this discussion. Put him in the Favorites thread, and you could justify it, but in this thread, it's bullshit.
April 9, 20187 yr I’m as big a Mavs homer as it gets, but Dirk belongs in a top 25 conversation, not a top 3 or even top 10zSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm kind of kidding, but: We really forget how great Mikan was. He led to rules changes (shot-clock, lane width, goaltending), was the star of one the NBA's greatest dynasties, averaged 20 points a game during a playoff series with a broken leg, and set all kind of scoring records. In some ways, Wilt is undervalued due to the championship issue, but he was the most dominant player ever. And in-shape, motived Shaq was maybe the most unstoppable force ever. I'd feel good about putting Kareem above Shaq, but not so confident about the other two. This is looking at their entire careers, not just their time on the Lakers.
