The usual suspects forming the top 9 of the greatest basketball players list in some order are
- MJ
- LeBron
- Kareem
- Wilt
- Bill Russell
- Magic
- Tim Duncan
- Larry Bird
- Shaq
Who rounds out the top 10 list at #10? Some names that come to mind are
- Kobe
- Hakeem
- Oscar
- Steph
The vast majority of people have Kobe much higher than 10, which is why this post is getting downvoted. Just last night I was watching Kobe lockdown defense highlights and I am convinced he was a better defender than Jordan, I have him over Bird.
