The Official COLI Top 10 NBA Players GOAT List

[Inspect Her Deck]

10. Kobe Bryant
9. Tim Duncan
8. Shaquille O'Neal
7. Larry Bird
6. Bill Russell
5. Wilt Chamberlain
4. Magic Johnson
3. LeBron James
2. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
1. Michael Jordan

Over the last few weeks we've not only sorted out a top 10 player list but then we have had polls by process of elimination to determine an order from the 10th best player all the way down to the GOAT.

Want to thank everyone who participated in both the polls and discussion.

The purpose of this thread is not just to put the list down, but to ask whether you guys want to a bigger list determined, maybe going up to the top 50 or so. One or two of you expressed interest in the comments, so I thought I'd put it up to a poll to see how y'all feel about this series.

Simple yes/no voting, and whichever option has more votes I will follow course with. If we do have an extension of this series, I'm very open to ideas as to how we will proceed with vote taking. I realise my method isn't perfect (no method is), so I'm willing to take other ideas on board.

a sticky would be welcomed but not necessary

Hakeem should be here instead of Kobe but it's not a bad list

Hakeem was closest to entering the top 10 at the expense of either Kobe/Russell at the time but he couldn't do it

I reckon he would finish 11th if this series continued.

Never understood why Moses Malone never seems to make these discussions. He's ahead of Hakeem in my opinion.

Moses was an option in the preliminary rounds to determine the top 10 but he came up short

He's definitely a contender and would probably make top 20 if we extend

Agreed

Just wanted to save this post so I can neg it once we get our rep capabilities back

Alright y'all gonna extend the poll one more day since we don't really have enough votes.

I wouldn't blame anyone for that. He was the teacher and Dream was the student. Imo Dream passed Moses

I came in here hoping for a comedy thread
