Ithink these are the 10 greatest ballers of all time. 1.Michael Jordan 2. Larry Bird 3. Magic Johnson 4. Karl Malone 5. Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) 6. Kevin Garnett 7. Hakeem Olajuwon 8. Lebron James 9. Dwyane Wade 10. Allen Iverson/Isiah Thomas comments?
<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">8. Lebron James 9. Dwyane Wade 10. Allen Iverson</div> Are you serious?
A top-10 list without Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson on it? In no particular order, I'd have: Chamberlain Shaq Jordan Robertson Kareem Magic Bird Russell Olajuwon Olajuwon is debatable (several other players had arguably better careers). The rest, I think, would be very difficult to leave off a top-10 list.
Im looking at talent not stats. Oscar robertson goes # 11 for me wilt respect = respect of Yao x 10000 = 15 best player all time
I'm going to make a "bold" prediction and say Wade won't ever be a top ten player, ever. I know, I must be crazy. <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">wilt respect = respect of Yao x 10000 = 15 best player all time</div> Uh... I dont know what the hell that means but Wilt is a top 5 player of all time. Top 10 at the absolute most disrespectful/ignorant. Especially if you are talking about talent, the guy was one of the most athletic people ever to walk the planet; 7 plus ft tall, built like a rock, could dunk from the free throw line, running 50 mile runs in his 50s, oh and he had great post skills to boot.

Oscar robertson goes # 11 for me wilt respect = respect of Yao x 10000 = 15 best player all time</div> Talent is such a subjective thing to judge. And, how can you possibly judge and compare the talent of players who played in different eras? Maybe it would make more sense to narrow this down to "Top 10 Players Since the 90s."
Karl Malone over Kareem? No offense, but what were you smoking? I don't like threads like this, because everyone has their own view (but some rules apply, like MJ, Wilt, Kareem, Bird, Magic, and Robertson should always be on the list), and it often turns into flaming wars.

Allen Iverson/Isiah Thomas comments?</div> ya cant have dwayne wade and lebron in there already. At least Iverson and Garnett have proven themselves in the league. These guys still have their prime to come. Iverson and Garnett are in there primes so they can be included but its gota be 1.Michael Jordan 2. Magic Johnson 3. Larry Bird 4. Wilt Chamberlin 5. Bill Russell 6. Oscar Robinson 7. Hakeem Olajuwon 8. Tim Duncan 9. Karl Malone 10. Shaquelle O'neal Any problems with this? Only players i might have not included are George Mikan, Bob Cousy, John Havilchek and Scottie Pippen

heres my list: ####1: HA.........seung jin #2:Kelenna Azubuike #3eji Akindele 4:Kyle Bailey 5:will bynum 6: stephen grahm 7: andrew bynum 8: anthoine wright 9: robert swift 10: jerome james lol this is another thread that will go on FOREVER!! i mean <u>everybody got different opinions</u>, who cares who's the top 10???? as long as everybody knows that they were the greatest players that contributed to their teams! all those players mentioned above are TOP players ever played in the game(except avery's and my joking list), why would you put orders? but there is one thing for sure that would never ever change and that is michael jordan being the NUMBER 1 basketball player of ALL TIME
1. MJ 2. Wilt Chamberline 3. Bill Russel 4. Dr. J 5. Magic Johnson 6. Moses Malone 7. Kareem 8. Shaquille O'Neal 9. Scottie Pippen 10. George Miken There have been so many great players since the NBA first began. You want to make it into a top ten? It?s impossible I just named ten of my all time favorites instead.
This is the list people, debate it but its the closest to perfection so we can end it now: 1. MJ 2. Wilt 3. Kareem 4. Magic Johnson 6. Oscar Robertson 7. Bill Rusell 8. Shaq 9. Larry Bird 10.Tim Duncan (Yes tim duncan has already become the greatest PF of all time)
