That would be cool if Isiah Thomas makes the list twice. Of course, if it's a top-25 list, "he" knocks "himself" off by doing so. And Dame is the reason why! Actually, technically speaking with that sort of thing, the one who achieves the standard first is ranked ahead, so Isiah should be ahead of Dame. It looks like they broke ties alphabetically by last name. So, let me take that back, it wouldn't be cool at all if IT makes the list twice, because that knocks Dame off unless he has another 20-5-5 game first.
I sort of disagree. It shows sustained versatility more than greatness. KG is only 4 games behind Jordan on the list. No one in their right mind is ranking those two that close together in terms of all-time greatness.
Number of years is also relevant there. Lebron (and Garnett) had 9 seasons before turning 27. Jordan only had 6 (and really only 5, since he missed most of his 2nd year). Would be more interesting if it looked at games played rather than age. Edit: If you look at the first 5 years of a player's career, Dame is 10th all time.
Ah, good point. I missed that it was a 27 and under list. I skimmed it and thought the year range applied to when the players achieved their first and last such stat.
Interesting, in game threads we average 20 posts bitching about Lillard, 5 posts praising him, and 5 posts wanting to trade him.
