You guys are all way too low on Oscar. I think Nos would agreeHonestly, not just saying this but Kareem needs to be in tier 1 as well. The reason being is that there is, IMO, a clear cut 1-2 in any all time draft and it should always been MJ and then Kareem (open format obviously without restrictions). After that the argument gets wider on who to draft and where. Just like in baseball tier 1 should be Ruth and Bonds, but you can designate an order.
For me this is how I view the tiers:
Tier 1:
MJ - Clear A
Kareem - Clear B
Tier 2:
Magic
Lebron
Wilt
Hakeem
Shaq
Bird
Tier 3:
Duncan
Oscar
West
Kobe
Tier 4:
Karl Malone
Moses Malone
Robinson
Dirk
KD
Steph
Dr. J
Barkley
Tiers 2-4 aren't in any particular order either. Those are subjective and wouldn't have a problem with anyone taking those guys in a particular order

And I hate you too . FWIW my football team has what I would consider the GOAT at QB, RB, WR and TE. Although I'm sure most would differI'll help you out. Nobody take offense to this, thank you...
Round 1
Randy Moss - some say he is the best WR...even though he isn't. Could be the most talented and a top 2 WR of all-time but at 4, it's a reach. Still as dangerous of a weapon as they come.
Round 2
Bill Russell - no explanation needed
Round 3
I love all these picks in this round but grabbing Musial before Teddy doesn't make sense imo.
Round 4
No problems here.
Round 5
Mel Blount - Blount is one of the best but just a little early, other than that some nice picks in this round.

Dirk and Barkley in tier 4 but not KG? Hmmmm
Wait, maybe not, sorry
I think yer still OTC
Wait, maybe not, sorry
Absolutely I agree but I'm used to it so...
I hear you but it also depends on where you rank him and what the replacement value is for his position imo. I'd personally have him in my top 5 or 6 all time, but you see him ranked as low as 10 or so. There were 3 NBA players off the board when he went, and I think Hall would (or just did) admit that LBJ is the best SF of all time, but there are certain ways you can build a team with Larry vs how you would with LeBron and vice versa, so that selection came down to matter of taste. I don't argue that from a straight value perspective, LeBron or a guy like Wilt or Shaq could have been a stronger pick, but when it's said and done I don't think the pick hurts his NBA team at all vs taking one of those other players, because of how he built around it - it all fits really nicely. That said there are some LOADED NBA squads in this
Doesn't happen if all 10 teams cared about basketball tho.
