It's not out of disrespect that Oscar shouldn't be on the list, it's just that his era shouldn't count because it's far too different than ours, we don't even have footage of most of it.

When Big O got drafted, there was only 8 teams in the league. When he retired, there was only 17 teams in the league. That's a big difference, that is entirely too different from our league today. That's not to mention that half of those teams sucked, so they ended up playing some of those weak teams more than just 4 times. Completely different league back then.

I feel like guys like Wilt, Bill, Big O are legends, but never be put on some kind of list like this.


less teams = less filler.
of course theres gonna be teams at the bottom of the barrel, no matter what.

it sounds more like youre unintentionally brushing the older players to the side because they predated modern media history.

it doesnt make sense to say that the 60s & 70s dont count but the '80s do. the only difference is '80s histrory is shoved in our face more.

kareem peaked in the '70s and still dominated the '80s.:sas1:

Like Billups over Curry isn't more delusional?:mjlol:

Curry had one of the GOAT seasons by a PG last year and has already match Zeke in rings. Both then nikkaz were on superteams and had luxury of playing with Hall of Famer shooting guards. Curry already proven he can lead a average to to the playoffs in 2013

John Stockton? Well, he leads the NBA in assists but Curry definitely not better than Zeke. Period.

I'd drop Nash and Paul but other than That :yeshrug:

Stockton is right where he belongs.

He's the all-time assists leader:mjgrin: isn't that a PGs main job?

Kidd should be higher imo

You do understand zeke retired at 33 because he blew his knee out. Stockton is the greatest compiler ever but he aint near zeke

People forget Zeke beat Bird, Jordan and Magic during his runs. He's top 2-3 all time because of level of difficulty
