This list was construction by EPSN. 👇🏽
I personally do not like this list.
It is completely random.
Bballscholar has so many questions.
What was the criteria for creating this list?
Was it based on stats?
Accolades?
Team success?
Championships?
Championship runs?
Records?
On a scale of 1-10 how do you rate which is more important.
Their longevity of being great or the peak of how long their greatness lasted?
Drop a thought , let’s discuss.
For me it is hard to judge players from different eras. Every era was completely different.
-LOVE IS MY PICTURE-
FEAR THE DEAR EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: GAME 1/2
PAUL GEORGE VS MIAMI HEAT (2/1/19) MVP LEVEL WHY NOT?
Bballscholar: My Top 10 players in the league
MIKE CONLEY (11/10/18) VS PHILADELPHIA 76ERS
John Collins – ATLANTA’S YOUNG BULL
For me it should be team success….
Speaking of which, I heard a lot about Michael Jordan

What about Oscar?

Jordan’s first, for me. I think Magic gets overlooked though. He was unlike anything we saw at the time. He played multiple positions and ushered in a new way of playing.

Oscar was official! He is definitely a top 12 player of all time.

So you believe magic should be higher? Magic was a different bread in the 80s but so was Bird. Bird may be the most complete basketball player ever.

I agree.
Magic did everything. I remember in his rookie season when he came in and played center for an injured Kareem as they took down the Sixers in the finals. And that was back in the time when centers were integral to success in the league. He won in college, he was in nine NBA finals and the Dream Team. I miss him still.

Elgin, Jerry West not far behind. And you have to somehow move Wilt further up the list.

I see you roll with Magic in the 80s everything was correct. Magic at 6’9 played every position and created showtime! He is a 5x champion. Great player. That’s why I cringe every time I see Lebron on a top 10 of all time if he is still playing. It disrespect other great basketball legends.

Elgin is one of favorite players ever. He’s super underrated. Jerry West has the most finals losses. That’s why he always left off a top 10 list. But that’s not his fault. He was losing the Dynasty Celtics. Like c’mon lol.

You know about Walt Frazier ? He’s underrated. If you got a chance look him up on YouTube.

I remember Frazier well. He was a member of a very great team. But the greater, but briefer, star was Willis Reed. Willis could beat Jabbar and hang in there with Wilt.

Well put about Willis Reed. He was the their best player. And yes that Knicks team was stack. I enjoyed Frazier toughness and grit. He brought to each and every possession. I wasn’t sure if you knew about that Knicks squad. Willis reed would take other centers on the perimeter. Hit them with touch. He is always forgotten.

In my opinion Magic is better than lbj. Without a doubt. Winning should always be the decisive bottom line.
