  • At the time this was made, West was probably a better choice for SG, but by now I think Kobe surpassed him. He does have 5 titles to Logo's 1 and passed him as the all-time leading franchise scorer. You just can't deny the franchise's top scorer a spot in the all-time 5 of the franchise.

  • Underdog!!!! lmaoooooo that the lil white dude sitting in the chair. if you watch Inside the NBA you know who i'm talkin about

  • Magic, Kobe, Worthy, Kareem, Shaq

  • lol at the white midget

  • lakers is too hard, too many great players, magic, shaq, kobe, west, baylor, worthy, kareem, wilt, mikan its too hard!!!

  • wtfis the point of the dj being there lol

  • ill pick kobe now cause hes the all time leading scorer in a lakers uniform

  • MAGIC

    KOBE

    WORTHY

    KAREEM

    SHAQ

    WILT

    Theres no argument there"

  • This is such a tough choice.

  • Smh.. I Know For A Fct, If Kobe Played In The 60's and 70's, he wold have avg. at least 50 pts. a game.. thats why Chamberlain doesn't get much credit today..

  • @CaliAhjee24 I hate when people do that. Thats just not fair to the people who played in their respective era's. Plus, Kobe Bryant copied the moves from Michael Jordan, if he was born in the 40's, he might not even be playing basketball

  • I agree with the picks he made, it was tough to go against George Mikan, Shaq, Wilt and Kobe but you can't argue with the logo and the fact that Jabbar won 5 rings while he was there, all-time leading scorer, minutes, MVP awards, at least he didnt stuff the PG up, could you imagine?

  • @DaUltimateKiller man, probably 5 years after Kobe retires he will be the SG, but right now... how can you go against The Logo ?

  • @the1sin: 2 by your f'ed up count now! Sucka! LOL

    Hater.

    Everyone knows Webber is Laker hater anyways! Ever since that ex-Laker-Vlade tap to Horry!

  • ROFL of course C-Webb doesnt like kobe coz kobe shitted on his kings in the playoffs for like 3 years... LOL

  • @jgerundo24 yea and 1 year tnx for the refs too

  • KAREEEEEM!!!!

  • lol webber is never gonna pick kobe or shaq because they whooped his kings

  • @therocksownss they never whooped them in the playoffs, they had dick knick bavetta and that other clown manipulating the games.

  • Shit give me Shaq at PG, Kareem at SG, and Wilt at SF, and Mikan at PF and we'll play 4 against 5...and it'll still be unfair..=)

  • stop figthing this is C-Webbs own opinion on who is his fab 5..

  • Give it to Kereem cuz he had moves u couldnt stop but i take Shaq over Wilt Sorry Wilt Competition level was so low shaq went up against more quality players wilt didnt c no comp till Russell n Rus wasnt even a 7 foooter

  • Top 3 Laker Centers of All Time

    1. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

    2. Wilt Chamberlain

    3. Shaquille O'Neal.

  • kareem over shaq any day....all time leading scorer...plays better in his old age than shaq..he was a laker for more years...shaq is jus chasing rings now...while kareem WON his rings

  • Of course he would pick the guy who is the NBA Logo over Kobe. And of course he will pick the NBA All time leading Scorer over Big Shaq. Plus they won more Championships.

  • he didnt chose kobe and shaq because they beat cwebs ass

  • hes hating on kobe and shaq cuz they beat him on the play off.

    1.magic

    2.kobe

    3.baylor

    4.rambos

    5.wilt, kareem, or shaq

    (its hard to pick, they did great!)

    lakers all the way baby!!!

    ~:>

  • number 1 alot of professional nba players decided that jerry west is better than kobe

    number 2 worthy is defenitly better than baylor

    number 3 kareem is the best center of all time dont even but shaq or wilt over him

  • @the1sin you must be up outside your mind saying james is better than elgin baylor

  • @thenutsisgood how isnt he? He is a triple double threat. Stats better mvp did elgin baylor even get one? And lebron was runner up for player of the decade with only 6 years in pro. True elgin baylor did a lot but nothing compared to what lebron did to his team

  • @the1sin james worthy played on the 2nd most stacked team of all time. elgin played against the greatest team and squad of all time. no one was beating the celtics with the talent they had,so i dont really mind the elgin has no ring.i think he was in 8 finals.i never sed anything about leborn james i was talking about james worthy. was lbj really runner up?

  • @thenutsisgood yes lebron was runner up. Elgin is good but U got to give credit to james worthy. He played with magic and kareem best center and pg and he won finals mvp. He was a piece needed. Plus I think James should be sf and mikan PF because mikan plays that position better. And baylor should be 6th man

  • @the1sin you cant leave baylor out of that team.its that simple.nor can you leave out worthy.what website is that on cos its a fucking joke that lebron got player of the decade. more than likely the next decade but not this one

  • @dalinrockz rambos?

  • 1. magic johnson

    2. kobe bryant

    3. baylor

    4. worthy

    5. shaq

  • Kobe is better than west aite?

    Just shut the fuck up.

  • @Kevinsuperior13 do you think Jerry West can guard kobe one on one? c'mon! kobe would rape his as$ all day, probably drop 60 even 70 on him

  • @bobolink222 What are you talking about? He wouldn't score 60-70 against a prime Jerry West, but he would probably win. And in my comment that I naively posted 2 years ago, I said Kobe Bryant was better than West.

  • West- 1 Championship ring with Lakers

    Kobe- 4 rings.

    I think we all know the answer for the 2 guard.

  • Kobe was only the best player on those teams for the one ring. 3 of them he played second fiddle to Shaq.

  • Comment removed

  • @DaKs777

    now he have 4rings and going for 5, and West told that kobe bryant is best all time lakers player so stfu

  • Comment removed

  • @kevinsuperior13

    3 of kobes rings is thanks to shaq for 3x finals mvp

    so basically kobe only deserves 1 ring

    also the time he got the ring he was stacked with good players

  • @the1sin shaq couldnt win those rings wihtout kobe. kobe was the number on the team and gettin 22 a nite. also shaq in 18 years has never hit a game winner.

  • @the1sin you fuck shaq got his ring cause of kobe too so shut up you bitch .. he got the mvp cause kobe was like 20 years old and he got no respect even from phil .. most balls got to shaq no to kobe .. so shut up you faggot ..

  • @myri0191 lol shaq doesnt need kobe he doesnt say i need help like kobe. After shaq left kobe said i need back up or im out. The reason i say that kobe only deserves one ring was cuz u faggot lakers fans say kobe has 4/5 rings and lebron got none so kobes better. Shaq didnt really need kobe that much in the finals. In most of their finals it was a blow out cuz shaq was a big man guarding at the paint and almost recorded a quadroople double. kobe was just their.

  • @the1sin what finals were u watching lolsss

    

  • @aceboogiecartel1 u have the latest reply this was one year ago fail

  • @the1sin still doesnt change that ur wrong lol

  • @aceboogiecartel1 uh u didn't even say what was wrong so how am i wrong

  • crack head cwebb

  • eversince CB started to do this program at the end of the season i've being waiting for the lakers team, and for CB not to have kobe your on crack CB. why didn't you just put: 1 dereck fisher:2 eddie jones:3 devine george:4 brian cook:5 kwame brown. man you just insulted the hell out of kobe dud thats wrong and this is after he won his 4 ring or maybe this is a sick motivation strategy by u for kobe to destroy everone this season.

  • Comment removed

  • You suck for taking Kobe over Magic, Kareem and WTF Shaq at 6? Read some fucking history you'll see what he's done for the Lakers instead of sucking on Kobe's nuts

  • wow get off the air, west over kobe at 2, how bout west at 1 , kobe and magic on the wings? hmmm

  • Mine five would be:

    1. Magic

    2. Kobe

    3. Worthy

    4. Baylor

    5. Kareem

    6. Shaq

  • jerry west...

  • I thought about jerry west but I think I rather have kobe.

  • this is a tought team to do but in my opinion

    1. Magic

    2. West

    3. Kobe

    4. Kareem

    5. Wilt

    6. Baylor

  • You cant compare West to Kobe. Kobe has the best bball skills ever.

  • Jerry West over Kobe? This guy is retarded

  • west is the logo

  • 1 Magic

    2 Kobe

    3 Elgin

    4 Kareem

    5 Shaq

    6 West, or Wilt.

    That's for sure.

  • this one is too hard and you can never get it right....lakers best nba franchise and maybe best sports franchise right up there with the yankees

  • What's the song at 0:50 please

  • Starting 5: PG Magic Johnson SG Kobe Bryant SF Elgin Baylor PF James Worthy C Shaquille O'Neal Reserves Gail Goodrich Jerry West Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Wilt Chamberlain George Mikan
  • shaq over kareem abdul????? nooo sirrr

  • It is not an easy choice, but I feel that Shaq was a bigger nightmare to go against in his prime over Kareem. Not saying that Kareem was a tough matchup, but Shaq is >300 lbs. Thats a lot of weight to match up with.

  • at chilitower:

    not to mention the kobe outside threat to complement him, must have been a nightmare

  • can someone post the fabb 5 clippers?? that 1 is hilarious, how he makes fun of them!

  • yeah right, jerry over kobe, i bet even jerry disagrees with that. kobe's one of THEE best. him and jordan should be in a different list, like the "unstoppable" or like "you cant do anything about these players, guard them, foul em, slap em, it dont matter" lol jerry's good but not that good.

    1.magic

    2.kobe

  • i got to feel for cwebb this countdown aint possible at all the lakers had too much every decade they an allstar how the hell do you put 6 man when they atleast have 10 to 15 all stars in all time

  • A huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuge BULLSHIT... what the fuck is wrong with CWebb, I mean his other Fab 5s are OK but this? JERRY WEST over KOBE BRYANT? Dude, Kobe is for sure the second best basketball player EVER behind the one and only MJ. No one will even get close to Jordan as much as Kobe did. Get the fuck outta here Webber.

    West vs Kobe 1 on 1. That's it. 21-0 Kobe, no doubt, who ever has the first possession.

  • The reason why C-Webb didn't pick Kobe at the 2 Gaurd is because Kobe literally owned him during his time in the NBA. Jerry West is great but Kobe is greater.

  • Man,Jerry is an awesome playa but will all do respect,Kobe is better!Call me silly and young,but dude Kobe is Kobe!Jerry is super,but The Black Mamba is better!

  • i think kobe and shaq must me there in that list....

  • Yeahhh!

  • West had 13 seasons of 20+ points... Kobe has 10... West had 4 seasons over 30+ points... Kobe has 3... (at this point, West only has one more season than Kobe has had so far)

    West had 9 finals appearances... Kobe has 5...

    i still pick Kobe because he's got the MVP award and he's got 3 more rings... but its still debatable. maybe not in 3 or 4 more years, but for right now.

  • @paveguitar its not debatable...u can't compare them cuz they played in different era's

  • you guys really need a history lesson if you think Kobe would dominate over West. id pick Kobe barely over West, but its not an easy choice at all. and i can see West being the 2.

  • Im surprised that he did not chose smush parker over Magic. lol

  • @zvocnik24

    me to

  • No Kobe, no Shaq !!???????? C-webb needs some professional help. Who the hell would chose west over Kobe. Ok i can understand that Shaq isnt on the team, but Bryant. How can you not put the best player ever in the first five. I think webber was a little drunk or i atleast hope so cause if not i would suggest him a therapy.

  • haha buddy...silly kid only lookin at todays days...you see that NBA logo in the blue and red? THAT my man....is Jerry West...

  • You see that man, that scored 81 in one game, and is the best player ever?THAT my man....is Kobe Bryant...

  • amen

  • What? Best player ever?? Kobe is NOt the best ever or one of the best ever.

    MJ is the greatest and will always be, Kobe is not even a wannabe...

  • @zvocnik24 mj better and magic is the best laker

  • HOW IS KOBE NOT 2 MAN

    dont get me wrong West is good but if kobe played @ his best vs. west @ his best kobe would win no doubt

  • Why is it always about who wins one on one? West led the Lakers to 8!!! finals appearances...he even won one (damned celtics.)

  • C-Webb how you pick Jerry West Over Kobe Bryant

  • man very tough one

    1) Magic (easy pick)

    2) Jerry West (NBA logo, sorry KOBE)

    3) Elgin Baylor (Dont know many Laker 3's)

    4) James Worthy (If i could put a center hear i would but i cant)

    5) Kareem (All-time scoring leader)

    6) Kobe or Shaq (Can't choose)

  • i agree with biggiedude33.

  • 1) Magic

    2) Kobe (4 titles - jerry neva one a ring)

    3) Baylor

    4) shaq

    5) Kareem

    6th-wilt

  • shaq is not a 4 if anything i would put him at 5 and kareem at 4

  • ummmm West won a championship in 1972 sooo He DID win a championship

  • @biggiedude33 yes jerry won in 1972 and had 9 finals appernce while kobe 5 and jerry lost because botson was unstoppable

  • magic  and shaq as the sixth man

    kobe

    baylor

    worthy

    kareem

  • are you dumb? jerry west is eaisly.

  • He's right- this is probably one of the hardest ones you could do.

    Mine is:

    1) Magic (easiest choice in the world)

    2) Kobe (4 titles with possibly more to come)

    3) Worthy

    4) Pau

    5) Kareem

    And Shaq off the bench. Shaq would be starting if Kareem wasn't such a force.

    Mine comes with a disclaimer- I'm too young to know who the hell Elgin Baylor is.

  • Its like this...

    PG)Magic Johnson(best pg of all time)

    SG)Kobe Bryant( sorry to say but the second best player of all time behind mj)

    SF)James Worthy(helped lakers win championships)

    PF)Pau Gasol(his future with the lakers will be a bright one)

    C)Shaquille O'Neal(this guy is great, 3 championships with the lakers, cmon)

    6th man is Jerry West(i dont even like the dude, but what eva, cant think of any thing else)

  • Pau gasol? hahah no wayyyyy man =P

  • @lapalapa15 no kareem or eligin fail

  • 1. Magic

    2. Kobe

    3. Worthy

    4. Pau

    5. Kareem

    6th man. Shaq

    period

  • @kurisu0 pau wtf has he done, elign was better

  • my fab five is exactly the same as the guy in the video.

    Orlando can have Shaq and Philidelphia can have Wilt.

  • kobe over jerry. love the logo, but Kobe got more rings, and has played more games with the lakers. Jerry had as many oppurtunities to win championships as kobe, but only took home one ring. He also lost to the celtics six times too many.

  • I think Jerry fared pretty well when Celtics had Bill Russel, John Havlicek, and Sam Jones.

    From what I read, Lakers had weak center back then.

    I imagine it's hard to find good center because NBA wasn't profitable back then.

    I'd put Jerry on starting SG for being hell of a good SG, GM for the Lakers.

    Although he lost many to Celtics, you still can't forget about the fact that Jerry deserves credit for the 3peat championships for the Lakers.

    my opinion though. :)

  • Kobe Bryant Is The Best Laker Ever!

    My Lakers Team Ever:

    PG - Magic Johnson

    SG - Kobe Bryant

    SF - James Worthy

    PF - Pau Gasol

    C - Shaquille O' Neal

  • check mine out..

    PG - Magic Johnson

    SG - Kobe Bryant

    SF - James Worthy

    PF - Bob McAdoo

    C - Kareem-Abdul Jabbar

    6th MAN - Pau Gasol

    haha!

  • kobe is the best SG in the lakers history... obviusly... jerry wasn't play to the team... kobe play to the team... jerry play in a diferent time when phisic game doesn't exist... kobe was an all-star when he was 19... obviusly...

  • this one's too hard mangggg.

  • Let's get a few things straight. I think the respect for older players has gone too far. All the picks are right, except I think that if Kobe played Jerry, he would kill him. Look away from the stats and you'll see this is tough. I don't blame C-Webb. This is probably the greatest basketball franchise ever. If you look at his Fab 5 on Memphis it's disgraceful. OJ Mayo, Rudy Gay, but the 6th man was GM Jerry West. How sad is that?

  • man i love those babble-heads

  • i agree with C-webb on jerry west, but I might be inclined to pick showtime shaq at center, although all three centers are great picks.....

    kobe is just right at the sixth man - he was a near-perfect 6th man on a great showtime lakers where he regularly contributed, the thing is while kobe has moved on and up , he is playing with legends here, hence i agree that he is a perfect 6th man on this all-lakers team....

  • Haha, I love his show man, silly and hilarious. How C-Webb starts yelling for no reason lmao !!

    Awesome dude.

    As much as I dislike Kobe fans' attitude towards their God, and I still feel he should be on the list over West. West was clutch and all, but Kobe just perfected the artillery of the 2 spot.

    And Shaq over Kareem, with no further analysis than this: he was more dominant. I don't care if Kareem got more points. Play 25 yo Kareem VS 25yo Shaq, Shaq'll eat him up, grab more boards.

  • actually kobe have 25.1 5.3 4.6 and 1.5 steals it's pretty close..and it will just get better

  • and kobe over shaq???

    wow this is stupid Shaq is better than Kareem too kareem would get eaten alive by shaq if the played against each other

  • Cwebb got the 1, 2, and 3 correct

    JWest has a higher ppg, apg, and rpg than kobe for his career and is the logo he's better than kobe

  • @munir99 what u mean karren was a beast and is better than shaq and wilt he is the scoring leader and won 6 rings also 6 time mvp

  • That was horrid. This is good

  • Comment removed

  • no way jerry west should be over Kobe....west is the logo but Kobe bring 4 rings to the lakers and have a better all around resume and more dominate....

  • dude do u know who jerry west is? he is better than kobe, period. Kobe's good, the best right now, but nothing compared to west. Reason being jerry was more influential than kobe.

  • kobe more well rounded? haha

    are u joking?

    Jwest -27.0, 6.7, 5.8, and 2.6 stls pergame

    kobe doesn't touch those numbers its not even close

  • why are you so caught out in stats...? Kobe is more dominate for sure...ask anybody...and Kobe's stats are pretty close to west...do your homework between both players before you compare them...

  • Comment removed

  • wahs tha song in the background its bumpin!

  • 1. Magic

    2. Kobe

    3.Worthy

    4. Shaq

    5. Kareem

    Had to get shaq in there,even at the 4, hed kick ass

  • Jerry west is better then Kobe, let's not argue about that one. I mean Jerry West was an all star every single year of his career. He avereges more points, Assist, and rebounds then kobe.

    There's a reason this man is the logo.

  • I disagree. Kobes been a starter since he was 18 and made his all star debut in 98,when he was just 19. The guy put up 81 in a game also. Kobe is by far the best player since MJ, not even LeBron can touch him. Jerry West was amazing,no doubt. But if i was forced to pick between Jerry and Kobe...theres only 1 winner. Kobe everytime

  • Give me a reason why Lebron, Dwade or even tmac (before injuries) can't be considered at the same level if not better then kobe.

    Kobe may have put up alot of 60, 40 and even one 80 point game. But the guy averages 25 for his career.

    Wilt put up 100, that doesn't make him better then kareem, shaq or even Hakeem Olajuwon.

    Apart frm his rookie season, Kobe has been in every all star game since, But Jerry west was in every all star game from his rookie season to the year he retired.

  • Your reasons are the shit iest i have read in my life. Kobe only averages 25 ppg for his career because he had to wait 3 years before he could play,rookie season hardly played,2 and 3 season had injuries. He finally had a full season after his 3rd year. Wtf are you talking about,wilt is better than shaq and hakeem stupid,maybe not kareem but the other two he is for sure. wilt average 50points and 24 rebounds !! Just shut the fuck up cuz you obviously dont know shit about basketball or anything.

  • Wilt is 5th of the best centers ever. So what he averaged that high. Who the hell was he playing against. NOBODY!!! You put T-Mac, Wade or Lebron against the D League and they will average over 50 points easy. You obviouslt dont know anything about basketball if you think Wilt is better than shaq and Hakeem

  • There you go !!!

    I just made you contradict yourself !!!

    You say jerry west is better than kobe because of his numbers,who did jerry west play against ??? Nobody !!!

    Hahahaha your pethetic really,you contradicted yourself big time,and you say i don't know anything,atleast i stick with one reason why a player is better than another,you just say anybody is better than kobe because you hate him but when it came to somebody else,the reason you where using why somebody is better than kobe didn't work

  • I never once said anything about Jerry west. Or his numbers you pathetic little man. I didnt contradict myself at all your just an idiot trying to pick fights so you can tell us how great kobe is. Kobe is good illl give him that. He can dunk, hes got good handle, crap shooter and has the smallest arc ever in basketball.

    Just shut up and try not to embarass yourself again

  • That was another hater i accidently thought it was you,he isn't a crap shooter wtf,he has the best mid ranger in the game,and about the arc that is true but if it goes in you cant bitch about it.

  • He might play shooting gaurd but hes one of the worst shooters in the game. Best Mid range in the game?

    Ever hear of Dirk Nowitzki??? 2007 MVP??? 2006 3 point shoot out winner???

  • Worst ??? where do you come up with this assumption,now i know for a fact you know nothing about the game and your just arguing for the fuck of it,u know nothing. Dirk is one of the best shooting Big Man i know that but we are talking about mid range dumbass Dirk is a 3 point shooter,thats what he is know for, Lebron himself said kobe is one of the if not the best mid range shooter in the game,video to prove that its in youtube look for it.

  • Dirk isnt a 3 point shooter. He was back in 2000-03. But not anymore. Yes hes known for being the best shooting big man and the best mid range man. Dirk is an actual shooter unlike Kobe. Dirk takes shots he doenst go to the hole as much as Kobe. Im the dumbass for saying Dirk is a mid range man??? Then your an idiot for debating it. Kobe shoots twice as many 3's than Dirk and is Kobe a 3 point shooter no hes not you basketball know nothing. Dirk is by far a better shooter anywhere on court

  • Actually dirk jacks up more threes than kobe. yes he is you just said he won the 3 point contest yourself lmao. somehow now that its against your arguement he is no longer a three point shooter ?? Just because all he does is shoot doesn't mean he is the best at it,if so then sasha vujacic would be the best cuz thats all he does. Dirk is the better 3 point shooter,kobe is the better mid range shooter,no arguments there.

  • Well actually there is arguments.

    First. Dirk only shot 170 3 point shots this season compared to Kobe who shot 336 to be exact.

    Second. Larry Bird won 3 3 point shoot outs and hes not a 3 point man hes a shooter. The greatest of all time to be exact.

    Dirk is a shooter and if hes not shooting from outside the arc or driving to the hole to dunk like Kobe he must be shooting from mid range.

    So he shoots from mid range and he has a better percentage therefore better mid range shooter.

    You fool

  • I am talking career wise dirk has jacked up more threes. Larry legend is a way different story,he is like top 10 all time and dirk isn't near that. Everybody has a better mid range than 3 point dude,the highest people have shot from 3 is 49%. Mid range the highest is 60 % so that argument you can just throw out of the windo

  • And once again your taling crap as Kobe has shot 3500 and Dirk has only shot 2800 in their careers.

    So once again you prove you know nothing about basketball.

    I was talking about Kobe against Dirk percentages. Not inside and out.

    Dirk shoots 0.472 for his career.

    Kobe shoots 0.447 for his career.

    And he get alot of points from laying up and dunking rather than shooting so that brings up his FG%

    Dirk gets his points from shooting mid range and he has a better % and therefore better shooter

  • He is a better shooter,not mid range shooter though

  • He is a better shooter from everywhere.

    FULLSTOP

    Just admit it. youre backing down already now youre saying hes a better shooter and you werent saying that 2 days ago.

    Save yourself embarassment and just say Kobe is a crap shooter and has got nothing on Dirk from anywhere on court when it comes to shooting

  • I have been saying that dumbass,just not a better mid range shooter

  • You really are stupid if you think Kobe is a better shooter than Dirk

  • They played in two different era's,everybody knows the time jerry played was much easier,not to say he wasn't great but he would not be able to do what he did with the guys now .

  • You guys are... retarded.

    Shaq over kareem? Are you fucking kidding me? Kareem was the greatest center of all time.

    And dont give me that wilt chamberlain bullshit, Wilt was a man playing among boys. Just like JIm brown in the NFL.

    He only dominated because of his size, and at that time size was able to dominate more than today. In Todays NBA, or even Kareems NBA days, Chamberlain would never have averaged more than 25 ppg.

  • kareem was the second best.. Bill Russell was the first, 11 rings. he can use one as a toe ring.

  • You can argue russel.

    Anyone else and I'll laugh in your face at your stupidity.

  • stupid i didnt say anyone else.

  • consider these facts. or this fact. lol

    if you look up the all time 50+ pts in a game, you'll see three names on the top of that list.

    1. Wilt Chamberlain 118

    2. Michael Jordan 31

    3. Kobe Bryant 24

    how can you say wilt doesnt desrve to be the lakers center? when he has scored 50 or more points in 118 games and he scored 100 pts in one game! he is a beast!!

  • Did you not read a word I said? The ONLY reason he was so good, was because his height.

    He played in a time with different rules, tall players were allowed to dominate, and he was by far the tallest player in the NBA. In the NBA today, he would be no better than Yao or Howard, While Kareem today would STILL be the best.

    Oh, and Bill Russel DOMINATED Russel everytime they played. The one player close to him i height outplayed him every single time.

  • I meant to say dominated Chamberlain

  • just because Wilt was too tall isnt his fault. in basketball you gotta use your size, especially if your a center. the fact that it was a mismatch all the time really wasnt his fault. that doesnt mean he isnt one of the greatest.

  • You COMPLETELY miss the point.

    The point is, he ONLY dominated because of is height, not his skill.

    Also, if he played today, he wouldn't dominate. If kareem played back then, he would dominate even more.

    You can't say he's the best player ever just because of his advantage during his era. He's simply not the best. He just got lucky to play at a time he could dominate.

    Kareem, Russel, and Olajuwon were all far greater centers.

  • true. u got very good points

  • Kareem was Hight and skyhook...that was him...that of course gave points like no other player but that was it...Yao Ming is just as tall comparitively but he has yet to average 50 points and 30 rebounds...thats just sick...

  • Wrong.

    For starters, yes they are tall However, the rules have DRASTICALLY changed so you can't dominate like that anymore. That alone just shuts out any argument you have

    Secondly. Look at Wilts videos, And then look at Kareems videos. Kareem was FAR more skilled than chamberlain, and he went against players around his height in almost every team. And by the time he came into the NBA, the rules had already changed

    The ONLY reason wilt was able to dominate was because of the rules at his time

  • Respect for u!Awesome coment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • It's also worthwhile to say, that later in his career, they changed the rules drastically, and he never dominated again, hmm, I wonder why.

    If Kareem played back when Chamberlain was younger, he could have averaged 60-70 ppg.

  • Shaq has tobe the sixth man. Theres no disputing that kareem was better than shaq. But Shaq is leagues better than Kobe. Hes the most powerful and dominant player in NBA history. Nobody has ever been harder to defend than Superman

  • No chucko. Wilt can't be on this list. He's on the sixers list.
