My Top 10 Players in NBA History

[bucks3115]

Why don't you post a top 10 list then since you think mine is trash?

Its easy to just criticize when you are not standing for anything.

from 1 to 5
MJ , KAREEM , KOBE , MAGIC ,BRON

then from 6 to 10 (no particula order)
DUNCAN , SHAQ , HAKEEM , DIRK , KG


a normal list should include these people

 

[chowism]

nikkas putting Bird over Bron just because they got that hate in em. Bird would put Bron above himself.

 

[LebronsJumper]

Say that it's only about basketball ability but then put lebron below shaq and in the same breath as david robinson

 

[tuckgod]

Magic
Russell
Wilt
Kareem
Jordan
Shaq
Lebron
Bird
Isiah
Baylor

 

[I.AM.PIFF]

McGrady, Pippen, and Garnett are not even top 25 all time.

I'll give you T-Mac because of longevity but both Pip and especially KG belong there.

 

[Drip Bayless]

Some truly terrible lists in here

 

[WaveMolecules]

Where is bird??

 

[R=G]

Lol

 

[knickscity]

Some really awful lists in this joint.

 

[Versa]

1b

 

[THE MACHINE]

Pippen is not a better basketball player than Kevin Durant. How can a list have McGrady and not Wade

So according to @Swagnificent , Bron has three rings without another top 10 player

 

[Surreal]

That I've seen play mostly and a few legends added in

Jordan
Capt
Bron
Magic
Duncan
Shaq
Wilt
Big O
Hakeem
Zeke

Damn forgot Bird

 

[Rigby.]

I see why most of you shytposters have to conglomerate here to discuss your terrible opinions on b-ball. Most of y’all nikkas would get laughed out the convo w these top 10s

DISCLAIMER: This list is based on pure basketball ability. I don't care about championships, awards, stats, or media hype. I judge players solely on their skill and talent. Think of it like being at the park and having to pick a squad. That's how I rate basketball players. And based on those metrics, these are the top 10 players in NBA history IMO.

Swag's Top 10 Players in NBA History
1a. Michael Jordan
1b. Kobe Bryant
3. Hakeem Olajuwon
4. Shaquille O'Neal
5. LeBron James
6. David Robinson
7. Scottie Pippen
8. Tracy McGrady
9. Kevin Garnett
10. Kevin Durant

don't think this list reflects the criteria you say you're using.....pure basketball ability. if so, it would pull of elite two way players...because the ability and talent to defend is part of basketball too.

7. pippen was a great great defender...but michael cooper and sidney moncrief were equal or better perimeter defenders...
8. tmac an 10 durant are throwbacks to the early 1980s era where the best players in the league were high scoring, no defense playing small forwards
9 garnett great defensive player.....over rated offensive player

by pure basketball ability..anfernee hardaway should be on the list.....he had no flaws in his game

I don't agree, but a strong case can be made for everyone you listed.
