50 Greatest NBA Players Ever

No Bill Walton or Lenny Wilkins or Tiny Archibald?

As great as Isiah was as a player, its hard for me to forget the horrible job he is currently doing with the Knicks . . .

As long as these aren't in actual order, I think it's a decent list. I think the NBA is the easiest to do this kind of list since there are far fewer players on a team and there haven't been a ton of challengers to this list in the last ten years. With kids coming into the league so early, they are equipped to become an All-time great.

I'd have to respectfully disagree with Kobe. I don't think he's played long enough yet to be considered one of the 50 best ever. I'm a little unhappy with Kidd, but I think his total body of work is better than Kobe's right now.

Cpcp is correct the NBA is the easiest sport to rank. Every NBA player does has the same job set list. They all rebound, shoot, pass. There are no true speciality positions like in football or baseball, so it becomes much easier to compile overall list that ranks everyone to ever play the game.

Looks alot like the 50 Greatest the NBA rolled out a couple years ago...I'd have Bernard King on my list, all things considered.

Well you got to consider how much can anyones top 50 list vary outside of say maybe 5-10 names. Id venture out and say that theres a solid 35-40 names that would be on everyones list.

interesting to note that AI isn't on here, and kobe is. Kobe has a career 23.9 ppg, with 5.1 rpg, 4.5 apg, and 1.5 spg. AI, on the other hand, has been around the league the exact same amount of time as kobe, yet has a 28.0 ppg career avg, with 4.0 rpg, 6.1 apg, and 2.3 spg. if KG deserves to be on here, so does AI.

Ai's apg avg of 7.4 last season is better than kobe's 4.5. ai has outscored kobe in terms of ppg the last 3 seasons. i'll give you that kobe has more rebounds, but as far as blocks go, they're equal. ai got his team to the nba finals a few years back, without a legit sidekick. kobe had shaq. i like kobe more than ai, but i feel that ai should be in the top 50 as well.

The first thing I noticed was the omission of AI. Laughable. He's not only been a league MVP, perennial leading scorer and one hell of a warrior, but he is the franchise's most valuable player since Dr. J (sorry Charles). Barkley had a decent team around him. AI has been playing with stiffs and has beens his entire career. You have Pippen, Kobe, Kidd and Payton on your list. Absolutely insane to think they are better than AI. Maybe you were thinking of the scoring of Kobe, the assists of Kidd, the teamwork of Pippen and the defense of Payton. Contrary to popular belief, AI measures up in each of those player's best category. And...Pippen at 25?

You forgot Reggie Miller. He had a better career than many of those on that list.

Allen Iverson?

You omitted the man with the second most championship rings (as a player) in history (10—and no one else has more than 8)....a man hwo was asbolutely indispensible in winning the great majority of the Celtics 8 in a row and 11 in 13....a man who was noted for his clutch shooting...a man who arguably played his position better than anyone else in history except West, Jordan, and his teammate Havlicek. Just because he's quiet doesn't mean a man can't be a leader. Just ask Bill Russell and John Havlicek who was the one man they wanted to take the big shot at championship crunch time. You omitted Sam Jones. Earl Monroe? Excellent player. But no Sam Jones. Tilt.

Kobe has three rings an shouldve won a mvp award. Allen Iverson has no ring and has only made it to the finals once. But at the same time deserves to be on the list a little more than KG. Even though KG for a while was the best and most dominant player in his position. And i have to disagree with the order. The players are right (besides what i just mentioned) but the order should be changed around a bit. Specifically Shaq.

A.I. and Reggie Miller definetly belong on that List hands down, and how the hell is Kobe over Dominique Wilkins, Willis Reed and Patrick Ewing??? u need to redo that list ASAP

NO REGGIE MILLER!!!! U suck

Kobe shouldnt be on the list man!! WheRes Dirk nowitzki and T-Mac????

where is Allen Iverson?kobe should not be on the list!!

allen iverson should be on the list! not Jason kidd!! Iverson should be on because he's a good team player

I agree i think Iverson should be on the list.

Shaq is better than bill wilt and oscar

where da hell is da little man allen iverson

Before you writie about each players look at (awards careera stat).John havlicek 11 He only stole the ball. yes 74 finals mvp Average 22 point that year.That average for a nba player who's not in the h-of-f. Oh yea he played on Russel team.No MJ,Who is Scottie Pippen. GP what did he do?

Moses and Dr.J 83 NBA Champion. Barkley arrive in 84.Sixers haven't been to finals. WHY? Who has the answer.He fell in phoenix.Rockets dream two NBA championship. Here come charles.He taik his way in to the H-of -F

Kobe is overrated. This list is strictly an opinion list and should in noway be viewed as a certifiable list of ANY kind. AI certainly belongs on a "real" list of the 50 greats. Kobe is riding the coat tail of Shaq once again that pin head B*stard.

I have a lot to say! First of all, OF COURSE Tim Duncan belongs on the list. Kidd, Kobe, KG do not. Jason Kidd would be there except that he's a terrible shooter, and that doesn't cut it if your a point guard. Aside from these, here is my list of who should not be on the list. I'll start with the two most overrated players in the history of the game: Charles Barkley and Patrick Ewing. Sir Charles could shoot and rebound, but he absolutely ruined an offense. Either Charles took the shot himself or he ruined the whole deal. Once he touched the ball the offensive play was DONE. He either held it too long, or dribbled too long, or ignored the scheme. Kobe Bryant has the same disease. Jerry Colangelo said, after they got rid of him in Phoenix that "now finally we might be able to run our offense." He was also uncoachable, a locker room lawyer, and never played a lick of defense in his life. Patrick Ewing might as well have been 6'8" because all he did was shoot 12 foot jumpers. He wasn't tough in the paint either offensively or defensively, and couldn't hit a clutch shot to save his life. Other overrateds who I'd like to see removed are David Robinson, Pete Maravich (carnival act), Walt Bellamy, George Gervin, Bob McAdoo (the last four were just shooting machines, did absolutely nothing else, and didn't necessarily do the right thing for the team). Whom to add? As always, Dennis Johnson is missing from a "Top" list, yet he was one of the greatest do-everything players. Shooting, scoring, passing, rebounding, defense, CLUTCH PLAY in big games (unlike Carl Malone!). What's not to love about DJ? He was John Havilcek supersized, yet never gets credit. Believe it or not, I would put Dennis Rodman on this list for sure. Granted he was no "O", but he was so dominant defensively and on the boards and as a team player that he gets a nod. I agree that Iverson should be there too.

Further, I agree with previous writer that Sam Jones should be on the list. Earl the Pearl is questionable. Loved him, he was flashy, etc, but maybe not top 50. Walton is an anomoly, granted he didn't play long in the NBA, but when he did he just won a championship. He was probably the greatest center ever in college, let's cheat a little and give him some props for that. Dave Cowens is also questionable as top 50, as is Moses Malone. Both big-time Blue Collar players, like Ben Wallace. All necessary to win a championship, but not franchise players. Some bloggers are trying to compare centers with other positions, and I think it's impossible to do that. Centers should be compared to other centers period. ArmchairGM is correct to place Chamberlain and Russell close to each other, but I must disagree with putting Wilt first. Russell was BY FAR the greatest center ever. He could do everything, including run the floor, handle the ball, defend, pass, score AND make free-throws. I would take both Russell and Jabbar over either Shaq or Wilt because of that huge difference, the ability to make free throws. Further, neither Wilt nor Jabbar nor Shaq ran the floor like Russell, on every single play. In my opinion, Oscar Robertson and Jordan are the two greatest players ever. Oscar could, and did, do everything Michael did with the addition of averaging a triple double for an entire season. Noone has ever done that, and that was back when assists were not generously credited (or not at all for the first part of his career). Most modern fans never saw Oscar play, but be assured that he was as dominant as Jordan with the addition of passing a little more and scoring a little less than MJ. Pippen is deserving, as one blogger stated, and so is Reggie Miller. Some critics say that Reggie is a one-tricker, but frankly he is one of the top 10 greatest clutch performers ever, and an amazing team-first player . . . end of story. That differs from the likes of McAdoo, Gervin, Maravich, Bryant, Barkley, etc, who were/are ridiculously selfish, if not hedonistic. Iverson, to me, is excluded from this group of hedonists in that he does play both ends of the floor. Considering he's a little guy, he welcomes physical challenge unlike any other.

Its a decent list you made.

Its really tough to pick 50 or 25 or 12,because alot of great players have played in the league obviously,and they are really close in abilities.The difference in many players games very are small.If i were to pick a great team to coach against anyone..id start with chamberlain,jabbar,russell,and shaq as my centers.Then id add bird,jordan,havlicek,oscar robertson and jerry west.After that it would be tough,and i began watching the nba and aba games in 1970.Rick barry is a guy id want on my team too.

If thre was one player who would match up real well with jordan it was havlicek.He was not better than jordan,but he frankly did everything just as well as jordan or anyone did.He was a great,and really smart player,who has 8 championship rings.Alot of todays kids dont remember him,but he was the real deal!If you put havlicek,west,barry,chamberlain,and elgin baylor on the floor at one time..no one in tdays nba could hang with them for very long.

Chet walker is a great player who played on some great bulls teams in the 70s.Is he on your list,ill have to check?They never won a championship but they had some very tough teams that were fun to watch with guys like jerry sloan,bob weiss,tom boerwinkle,norm van lier,and bob love.Of course boerinkle and van lier later became nba announcers,while weiss and sloan coached nba teams.

Pistol pete maravich was a spectacular talent,who never played defense and had a severe drinking problem,but he had an offensive game as good as anyones ever!

Certainly bernard king should be on the list ahead of alex english?

I saw that the legendary red auerbach listed his greatest team ever before he passed away.Its interesting..here it is..russell,chamberlain,jabbar,jordan,bird,magic,havlicek,west,robertson,dr.j,schayes.pettit,cousy,and baylor.Those were his 14 greatest.He was then asked to add three more players..so he added mcchale,kobe,and karl malone.

The above guys were cut off from my above post..robertson was partially listed..the other of the missing 14 were cousy,pettit,schayes,and dr.j

Clutch shooters?The best i ever saw were jordan,bird,havlicek,and west in no particular order!

Should iverson be in th top 50,maybe,but maybe not,but who do you replace?He certainly would make a top 60 list.When his game is on hes unstoppable.But hes a liability on defense,and when he struggles hes a total disaster..thats why his olympic team got beat by spain and puerto rico afew years back.

In my opinion your list is terrible. There is no way you can have jordan number one. Chamberlain and robertson were both better. The top three players are chamberlain, oscar, and then jordon. No one has ever dominated any sport the way wilt did. He averaged over 20 boards for at least 6 seasons. He averaged 30 points and over 20 boards agains the #5 player on your list. He averaged 50.4 points for a whole season. Over 3/4's of the players on your list have never hit the 50 point bench mark once. Many say he is not a complete player, but he also averaged 8.6 assists for one season. That is for a center. The most jordon ever averages was 8. the most boards he ever averaged where 8. Wilt was also a great defender . It is speculation but it is said that he and russell both averaged about 8 blocks a game. Number 2 on the should be oscar. He averaged a trible double for a whole season. A whole freaking season. Jason kidd does it about 10 times a year and they make such a big deal about it. kidd gets 10 10 10...oscar got 30 12 11 for a whole season. micheal Jordon should be number 3. bird is not even the best player to play for the celtics. Russell is should be number 4 on the list...a few other notes. Shaq should move down. Hakeem olajuwon should move up. stockton move up. bird below magic. david robinson up. garnett up. pippen down. and maybe mutumbo and walton shoul be on the list

Bird over magic Dr.J at numba 9

Im not sure his list is in order,it would be impossible to put the best 50 in order!If anyone one is seriously picking a greatest team you would have to start with chamberlain,russell,and jabbar...period!Then you might add jordan,bird,robertson,havlicek, west,and baylor in no particular order.Then you have guys in the next batch to me,that would include pettit,cousy,schayes,shaq,barry.kobe,magic,dr. j,mchale,k.malone.AFter that,all the guys are really lumped together..in my opinion.

Tracy Mcgrady is one of teh best players today and also ever,but he is not on the list...He is twice better tha Jason Kidd and Kevin Garnett and he is in rank with Kobe!I think that everyone agrees with me and i think that he deserves place among 50 greatest players!!!

Mcgrady is certainly a great player,sometimes the younger guys get left off these lists until they play a decade or so to see if they have longevity in their careers.

I can't believe I seen Kareem Abdul-Jabaar at #7, He is at least #4. Abdul-Jabbar earned every bit of his points unlike Wilt Chamberlain And Bill Russel. The reason them two got so many rebounds is because the next to tallest guy was 6-6!

I think that moses malone should take spot at 12 position. because he averages more rebounds and has more mvps and has won more championships than karl malone.

Why is Shaq #8? In my opinion you should move Shaq down to #20 because I can pick up someone from Anderson, Indiana that is seven foot three hundred pounds and if he went to the NBA then he would be as explosive as Shaq.

Pistol pete would be in my top 50 because no one could shoot like him when he got hot.There were alot of 7 foot guys who played when wilt,russell,and kareem were around,they just were not very athletic. Still naturally there are more 7 footers today,because there are more people in the world,but how many of them can play?If wilt and russll played against todays 7 footers,they would make most of todays guys look horrible..who could out rebound them?

Reggie miller was very underrated he was clutch shooter and a great 3 pointshooter.Come to think of it there were no three point shots when oscar robertson,john havlicek,jerry west, pete maravich,fred brown,and rick barry played in the nba,and these guys hit a ton of shots from three point range.

its a pretty good list except it is missing Steve Nash i guess a scoring title is better to get than back to back mvps. reggie miller deserves to be on it and so does ai and if kobe is on that list then lebron and dwade belong too

the list suck

how did gary payton get in it

what about steve nash and allen iverson they should be on there not kobe oh yeah i think kyle korver should be on there to and reggie miller.and because kobe gets suspended ever game!!!wat about tracy macrady and yao ming!!!!!if kidd is on there then vince carter should deffinetly be on there!!!and i also think that carmelo antthony should be on there!!!!!!~

reeggggiiie????!?!?!

stop hating kobe. i admitt this guy put him a little higher than he should be (he should be around 44, 45 according to that list) but overall kobe is a great basketball player and he deserves a stop on that list hands down. AI should be up there too.

what about matt zimmerman

Hakeem should be number 5 or so because he is one of the only people in the history of the NBA to get a quadruple double. Doesn't that means something? And Scottie, even though he was tight, should be behind Kobe.

MAny things wrong with this list.... Tim Duncan has three rings, three finals MVP's and two regular season MVP's. He is the GREATEST 4 to ever play the game. He should be in the top 15. Magic is greater than Bird, therefore he should be number 2. And the major crime is putting Dominique Wilkins in the top 40 when we all know full well that his career is not greater than that of Allen Iverson. AI may be the greatest small guard to ever play the game, and he's not even on the list.

I think you missed out Larry Bird and put in LEBron James instead.and whats up with Larry being better than Magic?and Hakeem and Karl were better than John Havlicek ever was.if the list is bout greatest in terms of skills you should rearrange the whole list, if its influence its pretty good with a few mistakes..

Hawkeem and malone were not better players than havlicek.Havlicek did everything except sell popcorn at halftime.

Hakeem was a great center,but there were so many great ones.Russell,chamberlain and jabbar are the three best rebounders ever,and jabbar and chamberlain were the greatests scorers ever.No one played defense like russell.There were alot of great centers over the years.Especially in the 1970s.

Nash and notwitski,james,and kidd are great players.But to be included on this list you need longevity.They have not played long enough yet.Yes, kobe should be on the top 50..no question.Who were the guys who played at the highest level for the longest time..i.e.great longevity?Try jabbar,havlicek,karl malone,and jordan.Longevity should count for alot.Bill walton was a great player..but he had too many physical health and mental problems,nolongevity.

clyde the glide should be higher then that this is bull.

steve nash in my opinion should be on ur list he is on his way to a third mvp this year atleast over jason kidd

Sam jones an chet walker should be on the list.

this is terrible no reggie miller or stephon marbury, what the heck is that

where is earl boykins with his size and being as good as he is he deserves at least #20 this is sooo wrong man where is lebron james he is better than gay kobe anyday

I wish john havlicek was 28 years old again and playing now.It would be fun to watch,the way defense is played today,he would rip the n.b.a. apart!Come to think of it so would a 28 yar old jabber,no one playing now would ever block that sky hook!

earl boykins could kill u davis21wylie u suck, u must be one of those kobe lovers, dissing the small kid, u have no heart. i bet u got cut from ur 5th grade team u suck!

Shaq higher than Dr J , thats gota be a joke

You forgot Big Game James Worthy who is one of the most amazing players of all time!

Tim Duncan is better than Karl Malone.

OK first of all, the ONLY reason jordan is number one is because hes jordan. you CANNOT say he selfish, b/c even his own player told reporters he would rather take it himself then dump it off to another team mate. my top 5 would be 1. wilt 2. kobe 3. Bird 4. jordan 5. magic johnson. i admitt kobe is a ball hog, but thats only cuz he HAS to be. his team is one big group of 2nd string chances. kobe is no doubt the best shooter in the game EVER. defense can be a little shaky at times, but he still can dunk better than jordan. no matter what all u older people say. wow he dunked from the free throw. so can kobe, with a 360, or maybe an under the leg, MJ is rediculously overrated and kobe is also a little overrated, but he still deserves a number 2 spot.

sorry i meant to say ISNT selfish

but also, i think AI deserves to be atleast top 20

Thank you Anonymous #42. Finally someone recognizes Kobe Bryants worth. At the end of it all, when Kobe is done playing, he is going to be considered one of the top 5 of all time. He does damage every night out. No one can stop him. His dunks are tops in the league all time, except for Vince Carter. He has limitless range and the best one on one moves of all time. If he had just one sidekick, he could take his team back to the champsionship. Every champion for the past 40 years had someone great playing with him, so I dont want to hear the "he had Shaq" argument. Jordan had Pippen, Magic had Worthy and Kareem, Bird had McHale and Parrish, Dr.J had Moses, and Russell, Cousy, Havlicek, and Cowens had each other at different times. Not even Jordan notched 81 pts, and we all know Jordan wasnt shy about shooting. Kobe's offensive game is pure artwork and is beautiful to watch. It isnt street like AI and it isnt boring like Bird, it is a blend of new and the old and he transcends all eras of hoop. Mark my words, we are watching one of the greatest atheltes of American history.

IMO, Hakeem Olajuwon is NOT 16th. I'd say he's top 10 if I had a list...

Was jordan a better athlete than havlicek?He played up in the air more but havlicek could run without ever getting tired.Was jordan a better long range shooter or passer..no.Was he a better defender.well he was good but how many all defensive teams did havlicek make,ten or so?Jordan is probably the best player ever,but he would have alot more trouble guarding havlicek than anyone he ever did face.

If there were three point shots in the 60s and 70s then oscar robertson,jerry west,and john havlicek all would have scored close to 30,000 points.

The three best rebounders ever were russell,chamberlain and jabbar..who would out rebound them?

Rick barry would rip todays defenses apart too!

where is le bron james??????

James Worthy was a great player. Alot better than most on the list. I have problems with a few on the list.

If I were a ball hog like Kobe I would have made the list too!!!!!

Hello everyone I am a Korean. I live in Seoul. I think that Vince Carter must be listed in that list. Vince Carter is a big dunker as great as Jordan and his offense ability is the best!!. And his defensive ability is so wonderful. Extra question: How do you think about Korea??

I honestly think pistol pete should be a little higher on the list because as far as court awareness goes he is the single greatest player ever. I do think he is also the greatest ball handler of all time. He influence almost every single player on that list that came after him. Walton also should be on the list for every1 who thinks he shouldnt be on the list because when he was healthy he was the best center in the league other than kareem. I meen have u seen his outlet passing and overall skill?

The last poster mentioned court awareness.Its an interesting concept.Its something you cant teach,you either have it or you dont.Ive been watching nba games since 1969.The players with the best court awareness ive ever seen were guys like larry bird pete maravich,bill walton,john havlicek,steve nash,magic johnson,john lucas,gus williams,bob weiss,bill bradley,don nelson,butch beard,jason kidd and scott skiles.These were very smart players..it was like having a coach on the floor when they played.Bob cousy had alot of court sense too.You either have it or you dont..its not something you can teach someone.

Speaking of unnderrated players,two great ones were elvin hayes and wes unseld.Another very underrated player as bob dandridge.

Give me a fucking brake. Karl Malone better than Barkley? Yeahg Right! maybe when Charles was injured. When fit no powerfoward could out run, out rebound or stop Charles. Rodman and Malone when playing under the rim agains him always lost XD. Fuck stats, we all know Sir Charles is the greastest PF deep in our hearts.

Hey lets make a 17 man list for worst players ever!Heres mine.John hummer,pervis ellison,walt hazard,chuck nevitt,doc rivers,ken charles,tickey burden,bird averitt,mel davis,quinn buckner,kevin stacom,and fred hilton,tom boswell,and william bedford,beniot benjamen,sidney wicks,and curtis rowe.

Tim Duncan should be in the top 10 easy. How many others on the list was the reason their team won "FOUR" championships. Tim Duncan is considered to be one of, if not the BEST Power Foward of ALL TIME. get your list strait.

Todays nba is tough to watch.There are way too many teams creating watered down talent,sloppy play,no defense,and poorly run offenses.Its like watching teams in a schoolyard.

Allen Iverson should be on that list

Were is the crossover king-A.I

Kobe bryant sucks dam ball hog

Josh Trammell should be on that list hes the best ever

I love Michael Redd

mitch richmond should be on the list he was one of the most prolific scorers in the history of the nba and was also a premier defender he should be on the list.

1. Wilt Chamberlain

2. Bill Russel 3. BIG O 4. Larry Bird 5. Magic 6. Pete Maravich 7. MJ 8. John Hondo Havlicek 9. Rick Barry

10.Mr. Clutch

1. Pistol Pete Maravich

2. Larry Bird 3. Wilt Chmberlain 4. Bill Russell

5. BIG O

Pistol Pete Maravich is best NBA player ever.

your all crazy michael jordan is best all time larry bird second its crap hes like no. 7 on the list kareem is number 4 easy so get the list strate

who ever said that pistol pete maravich best player all timw u dont know wat your talking about he should no. wat 49-120 all time

so fucking wrong all of u

get the list strate people

mj no.1 wilt no.2 and karreem no.3 ok and Kg and ja kidd on the list thier is alot better players all time

Shaq.... 8th greatest player ever? Ummmmm I think top 20 but not 8th.

where is dirk nowitzki ... he is the best foreign player ever !he has another 10 good years left in him ... at that rate he will have around 35,000 points ... more than MJ! he is 7 foot tall and shoots around 40 % on 3s and 90% on free throws .. he takes it up the court like a guard and is impossible to defend and his D is respectable now. he is like a 7 time all star and 3 time all first team and league MVP last year and also has been to the finals .. his team had 67 wins one year as well with him being the best on that team

Bernard king was a great player.So was lou hudson.Michael jordan was awesome,but does anyone really think he would push guys like jerry west,john havlicek,rick barry and oscar robertson around as easy as he handled john stockton,karl malone,and craig ehlo?Come on!Those bulls teams would have serious matchup problems with havlicek and those great celtic teams.

Dirk nowitski is a very talented player especially for a 7 footer.But the mavericks will never go far in the playoffs as long as he keeps chucking up 30 foot shots with no one under the basket.

Allen iverson is a very talented player too,but too bad he never learned the fundamentals of the game.The players overseas have less talent than the nba players,but they learn fundamentals like how to pass the ball, shoot medium range jumpers,and play defense etc.They dont waste their time trying all these stupid looking dunk shots.

well i dont think shaq should be that high up. i dont think he should be on it at all actually. chamberlain should be no. 2 i think.

james instead of garnett

Chamberlain should be #1

If you ask Michael Jordan who the best ever is he will tell you Kareem and he is right,most points,blocks and he played for twenty years after UCLA!6 time MVP,19 time all star etc.......from there you have bill russel ,jordan,magic,shaq,kobe,robertson

Sorry, NBA is much tougher today then it was back in the day, if they redo the list it should go 1. Michael Jordan, 2 Kobe Bryant(when career is done), Allen iverson(when career is done)Lebron James (when career is done)and Kareem.

AI #3? Shut up He's not even on the top 30 IMO. Scoring isn't everything. And he's only been to the finals once. Don't give me that team crap either. The Sixers of '01 were one of the best defensive teams ever, and now he had Melo. Two top 15 players in the NBA should be able to get out of the first round

allen iverson is the top 5 players to ever do it why ? ai is 5'11 160pounds playing with 7'0 270 men dominnanting the game day in and day out playing with spains factures and torn ligaments now on the other hand lebron's allways on the floor. if kobe's not having and great offensive day he don't play defense shaq can't hit freethrows . but only micheal jordan is better and even he had a sidekick but but to think about it every great player on that list had one except one ALLEN IVERSON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kobe bryant is not 27. 3 championchips 10 all star apperences,1 mvp,2 all star mvps,slam dunk champion,81 points in a game. he should be top 5. top 5 are 1 mj 2 wilt chamberlin 3 karerrma aldu jarbar 4 kobe bryant 5 magic johnson

idiot

dirk nowikzi should be on there so should lebron reggie,steve nash and lots of others

who ever thinks kobe shouldn't be on the list is a idiot.

wat you have to add steve nash 2 time mvp, he owns it up. He should be top 20. Most of them dont even have a mvp in the top 20.

Yeh that guy that was talking about steve nash has a good brain. You shouyld also add that tracy Mcgrady dude, he just tares it up but not as good as nash. Anyone that thinks that steve nash and tracy mcgrady shouldn't be on the list should go and watch ankle breakers Vol.2 they tear up the comp.

Kevin Garnett at 49? You gotta be kidding me. He's like at least in the top 25.

No Paul Pierce or Ray Allen?

TIM DUNCAN SHOULD BE IN THE TOP 10. HE IS THE BEST PF OF ALL-TIME. TELL ME WHAT OTHER PF HAS ACCOMPLISHED MORE THAN HE HAS. HONESTLY.

World B. Free clearly belongs on this list he schooled Magic Johnson in Johnson's NBA debut with the Lakers, Free dropped 46 on Johnson. Free was unguardable, he could score on anyone from anywhere on the floor ask Magic, MJ and DR. J.

You guys are all idiots Shawn Bradley easaily numero uno

naw fanatic 70 u an idiot easily rafer alston should be in consideration

don't forget spud web

howard eisley 1.2 ppg in 05-06 with nuggets check it out i say #16

darko #3????

last one you cant ignore greg foster check the stats rapters #44 i say number 2 on list please respond soon

I would have Pete Maravich change places with Bob Cousy or John Stockton. Eveyone on this list is great but Pistol Pete was simply amazing!

where is DIRK NOWITZKI

its decent. What about Lebron James?

Excuse my youthful ignorance, but why is Clyde the Glide higher?

Also y isn't the pistol higher like at 5

you guys are all retarded LeBron Dirk and wade should be on there.

Kobe is a stupid fucking ball hog never on the list.

And Shaq is a freak definately up where he is..retards

all you kobe fans are retarded hes a dickhead and a stupid rapist

wheres andris biedrins on this list definately in top ten same with big baby and jamario moon:)

You forgot Bob McAdoo, Sidney Moncrief, and Dan Issel. Duration and quality of play count more than championships.

Oh, yes Dennis Johnson

why isnt lebron on the list

I'm always a Wilt first guy.

The difference between Jordan and Chamberlain was that the NBA altered the rules to make it easier for Jordan to dominate the game.

In Wilt's case they altered the rules in an effort to prevent him from dominating the game.

He led the league in assists one year as a Center, just to prove that he could do whatever he wanted to on a basketball court.

The guy who played at the highest level longer than anyone was jabbar.

wheres lebron, iverson, wade and novitzki. But i disagree with some of u because kobe should be on the list
