Thoughts?

gotta be honest, it's the first I've heard of it, and it certainly wouldn't be welcome news...

 

[Black Adam]

Makes sense.

big cities most at risk by far.

half joked with a friend of mine the other day that normal life's a long way off...

I'd have Russell outside the top 10. Probably Shaq and Kobe too.

Shocking actually.

What is your top 10?

 

[trojanfan12]

Mostly the same. My top 10 can be fairly fluid at times, especially 7-10.

But I'd probably have Hakeem, Jerry West and Oscar Robertson instead of Russell, Shaq and Kobe.

I'd have Kobe and Shaq just outside the top 10, like 11 and 12 and I'd probably drop Russell to around 14 or 15.

i think that is maybe the best/most accurate top 10 list i have seen- at least in my opinion.

Going to the beach and keeping your distance isn't at all dangerous

Except....they weren't keeping their distance.....not in the pics I saw.

How you know they weren't family members?

Ok but I was just saying being outside is much safer than indoors. As long as you keep clear of others.

lol

I was actually surprised at how good it was. Son and I wanted to try something different and he's a peanut butter addict, so we decided on that one.

I finally pulled the trigger on a peanut butter burger...It also had Spicy Jelly on it. I always passed it by on the menu thinking it sounded weird as fuck when making my normal bacon cheeseburger order, and i decided to finally get one. It was pretty good actually lol, prob get it again at some point

Yeah, that's how my son and I saw it. It was good enough that we'll have them again every now and then just to change things up.

I would bump Shaq down one because I personally don't think he played to his full potential and yes, I hold that against him when making these types of lists. So I guess that means I'd bump Oscar up. I'd also drop Russell down to 6 and move Magic and Wilt up. But the 10 are pretty much right on it. No real issues with it. Like you said, its one of the better and more reasoned list I've seen.

The 11 thru 40 list though, oof. Lots of issues here. There's no way Isiah Thomas can be behind Stockton, Iverson, and Nash. Zeke is too low in general. He was a beast of a PG and won two titles. No MVPs sure but its a time when PGs rarely got that kind of love. They have him at 31 and I'd probably bump him up 10 spots.

Scottie Pippen is rated WAAAAY too high at 21. Scottie is good. But he's more top 50 good. Not top 20.

Giannis (#27) is too high right now. He hasn't done enough yet to have that rank. Talent is there, but we need more time to hit that rank.

Barkley (#23) is too low. Behind Garnett (20), both Malones (Karl 17 and Moses 18) and Dirk 19. I'd take Barkley over all of them. Sure, he has no title but that skill was there. He was a beast. I can live with Dirk being over him but give me Barkley over all the others.

Curry (13) and Durant (14) might be a smidge too high but likely when their careers are over, they could be there.

I totally agree on everything here.

Funny thing is this list helps Lebron fans debate with Jordan fans lmao. They can say Jordan best teammate is higher than any of Brons best teammate (excluding Shaq since he was WASHEDDDD) Bron's highest teammate is Wade at 26.

I do think Wade is a little better than Pippen.

But only a little.

And DEFINITELY Pippen fit Jordan better than Wade fit LeBron. That isn’t even debateable.

Depends. If you rank Pippen ahead of Wade, then yes.

I think most would rank Wade over Pippen.

But I do agree that Pippen fit better next to MJ than Wade with Lebron.
