I mean you have Wilt, Jorn, Bron, Cap, Shaq, Hakeem, Moses, Oscar, Magic, Larry, Kobe, Russell, West ... that's 13 already and then you get into a lot of debatable guys, of which he is one.

i've got mike, bron, magic, bird, tim, shaq, kobe, dream definitely ahead of him. after that he's right in the mix with anyone.
and that's right today, he can still pass some of those guys.

although that old man bball post got me feeling some kinda way (that kind way is old and feeble), we are still talking all-time. we gotta pit him against mikan and erthang.

I think he could very well end up being a top 10 all-time great.
Nothing but respect for his game -- but he's just too good to join the team that gutted him in the WCF 4-3. I don't see him finishing his career in Golden State. At some point - that competitive fire will compel him to want to pursue a ring under different circumstances.

and out of them, he's prolly... 7 or 8 maybe?
throw in a few of the jim crow and studio 54 era cats and he's still gotta be top 15.

I used to say dude was a latter-day Gervin now I think Gervin was a yesteryear Durant. His range is ridiculous as is his ability to shoot over people. If called upon he can get mad boards. Main thing is that he isn't as aggressive as he could be but then again he had to deal with Russ "ALL the shot Clock" Westbrook before and now he doesn't have to do too much on a regular basis.
