which of the ringless all time greats would have the best case for top 10 if they had won a title (as the main man)

CP3 getting a ring for the clippers doesnt get sent home no matter how annoying he is

Top 12 is Teflon if you are saying The Dream is number 12.

Malone, Barkley, KG, and Dirk are second behind Duncan if you consider Duncan a four. Are KG and Dirk above Malone?

Would a ring certify Malone as the second best PF ever? I think so

9 first round exits though for Malone. 5 of them to a lower seed . Even if they pulled out 1997 or 1998, I couldn’t ignore that, especially with his numbers falling off a cliff in the playoffs and his disappearing acts in the finals being a huge reason they lost both years.

True. KG has one ring. I’d say he had 3??? runs. The one with Cassell and them and two runs with the Celtics (maybe three). Dirk had to deal with the Lakers and Spurs all his life. Broke through once. Your point is valid.

I guess the points, MVPs and all NBAs puts in up there with KG, Dirk and now Giannis.

Nasty ass Karl Malone given his resume...


I'm not old enough to know much/have watched Elgin Baylor, but it's wild how he's always on the short list of some statistical feat along with all the other GOATS. So maybe him, but

 

[Killer Instinct]

It's Karl Malone and it's not close. Hell, if he wins at least 2-3, he'd be in a lot of top 10s considering his resume.

Karl Malone but the 2001 Lakers are considered one of the goat teams of all time. If Iverson would've took down that team he probably would have the goat MVP season. MVP, all star MVP, and finals MVP
