City's top 15 of all time (each position)

[CitySushi]

how is Shawn Bradley not on this list?

Just missed the cut.

 

[CitySushi]

Also, Dennis Rodman should not be on this list.

He was great at what he did, no doubt. But you can’t rank a player who wasn’t a scoring threat on the top 15 all time at his position, IMO. Too many great players out there who were threats on both ends.

Ehh, overall skillset absolutely. But what Rodman did was next level in terms of his impact on the game. I think that has to be factored in here as well. He also played in an era of big men and at 6'7" was one of the greatest defensive power forwards and rebounders of all time. I think that has to be acknowledged. Overall Rodman will have a longer lasting impact in the league than Anthony Davis, IMO.

Hell no, Magic is the #1 pg. Lebron isn't a PG. He is a SF, and I have him number 4 all time.

Bruh.

 

[Mecca]

Holy hell, who is number 3???

Doesn't matter because it's wrong....lol

But, I'd like to know that answer too.

My 3 guesses:

If the poster is 60 and over, Havlicheck.

50-59, Dr. J.

49 and under, Durant.

At 6'5, I would list Havlicheck as a sg. But, I see folks listing him as a 3 sometimes.

40-49

[The Oldtimer]

It's tough to compare eras.

I am terrible at it.

I'm terrible comparing eras too. Maybe because of my age, but I miss the old time NBA.

 

[Shane_O_Mac812]

Nice age group guess there, but it is indeed Durant. and I'm 41.

Funny thing, after looking over the list I'd probably change the SF a bit. Kawhi moved up probably and Scottie moved down. Kawhi I really struggled with as I said earlier, but it's hard not to deny his success and being the #1 guy for championship teams.

But one thing I noticed was that I forgot to include Harden on the list. I'm honestly not even sure where I would put him. Possibly 8-10 range. Then again, if I was starting a team I'm really not sure if I would take him ahead of Pistol, Mitch and Manu to be honest.

I think the real telling thing is that not one person mentioned Harden not being on the list. Says more about Harden than anything.

Hell no, Magic is the #1 pg. Lebron isn't a PG. He is a SF, and I have him number 4 all time.

Hey you should watch some basketball sometime, you might like it!
