2298614, no lebron, west or baylor though? Posted by ConcreteCharlie, Thu Feb-13-14 10:07 AM
It's tough. I almost feel like the list should be separated into bigs and smalls.
I would have my lists like this
Bigs: Wilt Cap Hakeem Shaq Russell Duncan Moses Malone Karl Malone David Robinson George Mikan
Obviously a lot of tough ones to leave off there like Barkley, Dirk, Elvin Hayes, Bill Walton, Pat Ewing and many more. Russell/Duncan/Malone were hard to place for me, I could see arguments for jockeying of postions but went with some more dynamic offensive players ahead of them who were also dominant. I'm definitely prepared to defend Hakeem at No. 3, too lol.
Smalls: Jorn! Big O Magic Bird Elgin Baylor Dr J Jerry West Bron Kobe Zeke
You got huge scorers like George Gervin, AI and Rick Barry left off here, which sucks. I don't see where they fit in though. On the flipside it pained me to leave extraordinary distributors John Stockton, Gary Payton and Steve Nash off but again there just aren't that many slots.
The sky is the limit for Bron, I just didnt put him ahead of some guys out of respect for them and what they accomplished over long careers. I could see him being No. 2 before it's all over.
