    I don't like just basing these things off championships. These things are always hard to rank, but right now, I'd say

    1. Michael Jordan
    2. Shaquille O'neal
    3. Magic Johnson
    4. Lew Alcindor
    5. Tim Duncan
    6. Hakeem Olujawon
    7. Larry Bird
    8. Kobe Bryant
    9. Karl Malone
    10. Moses Malone

    um yeah, his name is kareem, not lew, have some respect. also kobe is better than top 8 all time, also do you really think, with your history of hating on kobe and the lakers, that anyone could possibly take you seriously? fuck man, your wasting your time coming in here with dumbass arguments like that.

    ummm no, just no. this list is so wrong it's beyond absurd.. it is quite ignorant though.

    way to dismiss 3 legendary figures in the history of the league junior.

    No one has any idea what you are talking about, you literally couldn't be more vague.

    Way to be a complete hypocrite.

    Lol enjoy the crow by the way. Poor Celtics have nothing over us individually, and have those ugly titles from the 60's that are much less relevant.

    Victory is sweet.

    Woord. Any list without Wilt or Bill in it is a sham. Not to mention that Larry Bird should be top 5. But thats just me.

    I agree. But that shouldn't take away from what he did during those championship years: win. And a lot of it.

    I just think that when a person's top ten list excludes the greatest individual thinker in all of basketball as well as the greatest winner, then that list is seriously lacking.

    Really? If Bill Russell & Wilt were added (having taken off Moses & Karl) who would you replace Oscar Robertson with? It's tough to remove anyone from that list.
