    Thanks man. I really want to be a great member at the website, and actually want to post quality before quantity, and all you other members at JustBBall should do the same. I'm not saying all of you don't, but most members on these forums these past few months just care about the post count.

    About Tim Duncan being there, I took the 50 greatest players of all time from 1997, but mixed it up into my own list. I figure I will update it later and put players such as Tim Duncan, Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Allen Iverson, and some more great players from todays time. [​IMG]

    <font color="red">Ace2k2: Don't post a reply to my huge post (quoting the whole thing). You should edit it, if not, a moderator or administrator because this page is getting way too long.</font>

    Remember this is IMO and I based it on Stats, and Succes mostly, and awards.

    Feel free to argue,debate, and post your own list too!</div>

    In the end you say this list is your opinion and its based on stats and success, but why don't you also provide the source of the list -- Elliot Kalb? I mean, this is virtually the same list (except you moved up Karl Malone and Garnett, and swapped Baylor and West). The book where the list is from is "Who's Better, Who's Best." It's a good book, and the arguments are sound. Anyone interested should check it out.

    It seems like you're trying to pass off this list as something you came up, and unless you'er Elliot Kalb that's simply not the case. Nothing wrong with citing his list and saying you agree with him, but at least you could mention his name.

    ^^^ I didn't copy him and I have never heard of him and have never read that book. I got this list from my uncle and he said this is the updated top 50 Players of all-time list and I ordered it around a little. I'll email him asking if he read that book you said. That list is kind of reasonably true so I figured I'd order it around a little.

    Edit: I asked my uncle where he got that list from and he said he did check that book you said out of the Library. THen he e-mailed it to me and said this is the new revised list. I didn't know he copied it I thought it was official and then I ordered it around a little.
