Top 50 NBA players

[Reggie]

This is my list that I decided to make after seeing Bron and Wade get there second rings together last night. And I was messing around and just decided to make a top 50 ever list. Now I realize that I haven't seen all these players play but I have seen footage of some and can pretty much see who would fit in any era. So I guess i'll start with my top ten and then start with players I have actually seen but in no particular order. Then i'll finish with players I have ranked in the top 50 just off of respect and what most historians say.

1. Jordan
2. MAgic
3. Kareem
4. Wilt
5. Bird
6. Duncan
7. Kobe
8. Bron
9. Shaq
10. Russell
11. Dream
12. Pippen
13. Wade
14. AI
15. KG
16. Dirk
17. David Robinson
18. Barkley
19. Karl Malone
20. Ewing
21. Stockton
22. Mchale
23. Isiah Thonas
24. Jason Kidd
25. Dr. J
26. Adrian Dantley
27. Bernard King
28. Alex English
29. Rodman
30. Gary Payton
31. Dominque Wilkins
32. Steve Nash-Two time MVP. Maybe the greatest shooter ever. He's on my list.
33. Tony Parker-3 time champion. 1 Finals MVP. Has produced since he was a teenager.
34. Jerry West
35. Elgin Baylor
36. Oscar
37. Moses Malone
38. Drexler
39. Walt Frazier
40. Earl Monroe
41. Rick Barry
42. George Gervin
43. Bob Petit
44. Elvin Hayes
45. Willis Reed
46. Bob Mcadoo
47. John Havlicek
48. George Mikan
49. Bob Cousy
50. Rober Parish

After my top ten the list is just of who I think are the top 50 ever. Not in order of who I think is the best to worst. Add yours so we can see where we agree or disagree at.

i like your list.. but Shaq is top 5....would be 1 if he wasnt injured as much.. would have broken way more records and way more chips...

Rodman is a top 5 PF/4 of all time.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

List Invalidated with Steve Nash, TP. Dwade should not be higher than A.I.

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

i like your list.. but Shaq is top 5....would be 1 if he wasnt injured as much.. would have broken way more records and way more chips...

Shaq could have been the greatest basketball player ever if he was basketball obsessed like MJ or Kobe

After the top 10 it is not in any particular order. Nash has balled for over ten years. Hate the MVP's all we want but he's still one of the greatest point guard's to ever play.

Great list. A few things I would change but nothing really that would stand out.

That played a part in it. It was Shaq's fault a lot of times for not playing in prime shape like he should have and not getting at least 6 or 7 titles. If he had the dedication like a Kobe or Magic or Bird or Jordan he would probably be the greatest ever. 30 and 15 should have been the norm for him every regular season.

We can debate all day about who belongs on a top 50 list. But guys who played in the 50's and 60's that I never saw can not be over guys I've seen in this current day and time. Guys like Havlicek and Cousy who I have on my list are considered top 50 ever on most lists but I can put Nash and Parker on mine when one has all time great shooting numbers with two MVP's (whether truly deserved or not is another story) to his name. And the other is an all time underrated player with 3 titles. And would be a 20 and 8 player every year if he had free reign in his prime. King Dantley and English are criminally underrated and each put up numbers for at least a decade or more.

16.KG

Fixed...You good on the rest

 

[THE K-MAN]

why is Moses Malone so damn low???????????

 

[Brozay]

Rodman & Steve Nash over Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Moses & OSCAR








EDIT : I SEE WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT THE TOP TEN, BUT LETS BE REAL HERE

 

[Mandizi]

Rodman is a top 5 PF/4 of all time.

Top 10-15? Sure.

I can't go with top 5 tho.
