The forum's members will vote for each player. (#1, #2, #3...etc.) Every thread one player will be voted for that position on the all time greatest players list. I'll tally up the votes for that position in the ranking monthly. And then I'll officially put him in that seed in the ranking in the new thread where you must vote for the next player. Next month, we'll be voting for the #2 player of all time. But..</div>Next Month? Make it next week, at the most. Or do three day intervals.

Doing a countdown of the 100 greatest NBA players of all time would be cool. We could vote on one per day, starting from 100 and going to 1. It is clear that Jordan will be #1 but it should be interesting/fun making the list then looking back on it.

Top 50 or top 25 might work though.

I saw them do top 100 on RealGM, I'm sure if people put in the effort it could very well be possible.

While Jordan had a good supporting cast. Also IMHO, Jordan was not a good influence in many ways, he retired to play baseball (talk about dedication) retiring three times is not classy IMHO. Also, Micheal Jordan almost set the NBA back 10 years. Scouts we're/are always looking fro the next "Jordan".

It makes sense that he averaged so many rebounds.In Philly, he had Hal Greer and Billy Cunningham.In LA, he had Gail Goodrich and Jerry West.That's two for each title. Nice guarantee.So Jordan had Pippen and Rodman for half of his titles, Pippen and Horace Grant for the other half. West and Goodrich is better than Pippen and Rodman/Grant.Class and influence has nothing to do with who's the best. You can't even use that example. Wilt Chamberlain had sex with 20,000 women! And you say MJ is not a good influence. :no1:

Yao Ming towers over players, and he isn't averaging 20 rebounds.I give you credit on the players...
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (abc @ Jul 9 2007, 09:34 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>the talent was a lot better when Wilt Chamberlain played in the NBA</div> How do you know? Were you alive back then? Just because their were fewer teams doesn't mean the talent was better. Players were much smaller and less athletic when Wilt played. I'm not taking anything away from what Wilt did, it's just the way it was.
