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
this is a useless exercise, just comparing numbers. nobody active in this forum was watching Wilt, Kareem, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Oscar Roberson, Bill Russell or Hakeem while they were actively playing.
I bet 95% of the responses you’ll get are from people who weren’t even around to watch Shaq and Kobe play
