1. MJ

Id have Oscar at number 4, Wilt at number 5 and Bird at number 10. Otherwise pretty solid list.

 

[y2ktors]

My top ten:

Jordan
Russell
Wilt
Kareem
Magic
Bird
Hakeem
Kobe
Shaq
Duncan

Oscar doesn't have the hardware to be that high on the list.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

LOL at Kareem behind Magic or anybody but Jordan.

I think Kareem is GOAT but understand when people put MJ ahead of him as long as Russell is in their top 4.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

MJ #1 is evidence of how popular he made the sport and further evidence that some day LBJ will be considered the GOAT.

 

[The Derski]

Jordan
Chamberlain
Russell
Kareem
Shaq
Bird
Magic
Kobe
Robertson
Hakeem

LeBron in about 3-4 years. He already has the credentials but another title puts him firmly in the top 10.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Kareem
Russell
MJ
Magic
Bird
Shaq
Wilt
Irving
LBJ
Duncan

Places people will talk:

-Kareem was around longer and never abandoned his team, longevity of dominance.

-Russell's dominance is unmatched and an award is named after him.

-MJ is definitely better than Bird, most likely Magic.

-LBJ is on this list because there are 5 players with 4 MVPs. I can make an argument for putting him higher than Wilt.

-Duncan He has done a lot. Great player with no on court or locker room troubles. IMO that goes a long ways to increase your chances to win Rings.

Side Note: It looks like Derrick Rose was quite the player 60 years ago...

More credible source

Karl Malone???? Seriously?

 

[rmilia1]

Oscar doesn't have the hardware to be that high on the list.

Eh, hes got a title and the guy was the most versatile player in NBA history. There was a 6 year span at the start of his career where he was probably the best player that ever lived.

[Steelboy84]

Karl Malone???? Seriously?

Yes

If that's one of your main criteria's then why do you have Wilt 3rd?

The 7 players you list below him all have more hardware, except for Olajuwon who is tied with Wilt.
