vikes635 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I want to hear arguments for others that belong on this list, Is there anyone I missed completely? should I re-thing my honorable mentions? 1. Michael Jordan 2. Kobe Bryant 3. Clyde Drexler 4. Dwayne Wade 5. George Gervin 6. Ray Allen 7. Reggie Miller 8. James Harden 9. Earl Monroe 10. Gail Goodrich HM= Bill Sharman, Mitch Richmond, Joe Dumars, Hal Greer, Tracy McGrady ( if you have west or iverson as SG both would make the list) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think drexler and Gervin are too high. I think harden is ahead of Reggie for sure and probably Ray Allen. Im obviously gonna be called biased but I’d put Harden 4th now, but he’s definitely gonna be 4th when he retires and has a shot at 3rd. He can’t catch Kobe or Jordan.

resilient part 2 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Here is my suggestion. Can we leave out any and all players that NO ONE has actually seen. Even if you weren't born when Jordan was playing, there is enough film of him playing. But players like Earl Monroe, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West etc have very little film available. And the little that is actually available is not overly impressive. side note. Iverson won his MVP and played most of his career as a 2. Same with West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resilient part 2 Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 I have : 1- MJ 2 - Kobe - 3A - Wade over Drexler due to better half court scorer 3B - Drexler 5 - Harden - hate the man and his ISOm offense, but too dominant to be lower IMO. 6 - Ray Allen - under rated scorer but all time shooter for sure. 7 - Iverson - Not everyone could play along side him, but impact to the game. Also my number one most amazing scorer (not best) barely 6 ft tall and dominanted as a scorer is beyond comprehension IMO. 8 - Reggie Miller - though a bit of a one trick Pony, his clutch factor can not go unrecognized. 9 - Klay Thompson - needs a little more time and he will be higher on my list. 10 - Vince Carter - if only no injuries.

Mox Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 1. MJ - No argument for anyone else. 2. Kobe - Not the highest peak but he's best combination of peak/prime/longevity/accolades. 3. West - Fantastic player for a long time. One of basketball's greatest minds. 4. Wade - Wade peaked higher than West but his prime was extremely short for an ATG. 5. Harden - In the middle of one of the greatest offensive primes in NBA history. He's a near lock to pass Wade and has an outside shot at Kobe/West. 6. Drexler - An ATG who only falls because the last twenty years have brought some incredible SG's into the mix. 7. Allen - Couldn't carry a team like Iverson but was a much more well rounded player and good for longer. Better overall player than Reggie. 8. Miller - He was clutch, he was great for a long time, he was a sniper but his peak is well below everyone most in the top 10. 9. Iverson - His reputation is greater than his actual achievements. A dynamic #1 option but was an extremely flawed overall player. 10. McGrady - Probably forgetting someone with a better career but at his best he was an absolute force.I'd take him at his best over 6-9. HM: Gervin (admittedly I know little about him, wouldn't be surprised if more research put him top 7), VC (good peak, good longevity), Earl the Pearl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter if you can play the position but my blurry memory seems to think he had more small forward time but I'll have to review some video to make sure. But if you guys determined he was more of a shooting guard then I will easily put them in my top 10 shooting list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both so so on defense at best. Both very clutch so what is left for Miller? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
