[kelleyboy4]

@whocares2023 i meant he isn't better then them. kobe is the most over-rated player in the league today.

[MegaFunnydude23]

Ed Nealy is the best player of all time!! Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, and LeBron James don't even come close!

[bootiack]

@gummygal404 amen

[ThomasHRaps1]

where is kidd



[MemphisTigersDRose23]

he has the top 15 right,but there are people who shouldnt even be on the list yet. lebon & wade are too young and that goes for amare too. eventually they will be on this list but rught now it is too early to say wether or not they should be on the list of best nba players ever. and also he has people that i have never heard of. like whos michael jordan? jk we ALL know who he is but to be serious whos ever heard of numbers #98,97,96,94,90,89,88,86,85,66­,63,62,58,51,36,or number 31?

[AdreasTheGreat]

@MemphisTigersDRose23 i agree that there are some players to be higher like wilt,in my opinion should be top3 for sure,bird-oscar should be top 5-6,j.west top 10,baylor top 20 at least or isiah thomas and also some players should be lower....come on shaq no 4 and duncan no7?NOWAY...shaq should be no 9-10 and tim not higher than top 15-20 BUT i disagree with u saying those players should n't be in the list cause u do n't know them!for example no90 is the first player avg 30+p in ΝΒΑ history !

[AdreasTheGreat]

@AdreasTheGreat no 85,thompson was those guy he enter jordan to the HOF...great player and dunker in 70's!the same for haywood...but u don't even know dantley who was one of the best scorers in 80's,the golden NBA era!cunningam was a great all-around forward of 60's-70's and great leaper to,his nickname was the kangaroo-kid and so goes on!what i want to say is the fact u do n't know some of those great legends doesn't mean do n't deserve to be at this list,in 50 years kids would n't know mj to!

[superamazingcats]

Ok shaq is not better than kobe wade pierce ray allen or lebron!

[EatSleepIceHockey]

@superamazingcats in his prime he was better. just maybe not better than James and Bryant

[kristiann1able]

1 place michael jordan 2 kobe bryant 342432432432 lebron james said it.

[xZenqaa]

This was as of DECEMBER 2007 a lot has changed since then and nbaballer this was Durants rookie year! and too make the top 100 all time as a rookie is impossible.

[lakersrock24kb]

And Shaq sucks

[lakersrock24kb]

KOBE is way better than Karl Malone

[josemour100]

Not true, one player is The Greatest by a long long way because he gives the world what Ronald Reagan, Bush and United Nation cannot. Ron Artest gives us world peace.

[keyon11000]

@NBA2ksportsceltics I think that D Wade should be on here since he lead miami to a championship especially in the fashion that he did it. I agree with you regarding lebron. He hasn't earned a right to considered one of the all time greats although he's all time talented. Kobe to me should be around 7 or 8. He's contributed to too many championships. And he's still playing great now.

[whocares2023]

@keyon11000 kobe sux

[NoRegretsForOurYouth]

You never see John Havlicek high enough on these lists. Perhaps the most disrespected NBA great ever.

[NoRegretsForOurYouth]

West too low, MIkan too high, KG too high, Robinson too high

[NoRegretsForOurYouth]

K Shaq and Karl Malone are too high!

[pinkkriskaya]

The NBA did an official 50 best of all time, but I think this is some f*ckery. I looked up Neil Johnston who is apparently #31, and big up to Chillicothe, but it looks like he had a great career but 31? I got beef with Kobe at 11, he should be higher. Duncan IS one of the greatest PFs ever, but he is too high. James Worthy was way too low. GP 37, really? Steve Nash is much, much, much better than AI. 21 is too high for Lebron at this juncture. Olajuwon and Duncan should switch spots.

[castrobonomo]

WHAT? Pippen is lower in rank than LBJ? c'mon >.<

[alex13845]

worst video in the world this list is mest up

[niksinthe916]

@alex13845 mest up? 

[fxa93]

this list is full of shit

[finnyissmall]

why is tim duncan 7 thats just weird

[Agureghian]

@finnyissmall 4 time nba champ. 2 time mvp, he was all nba and all nba defense in 13 straight seasons. this guy is one of the best PF's of all time

[finnyissmall]

that is so incorrect i mean derrick rose isnt even there

what the hell

[MrBullsTalk]

There is no official list dumb ass. It's like asking someone "What's your favorite ice cream?"  Everyone is going to have their own opinion.

[MegaFunnydude23]

really. Tim Duncan is better than bird? IT should be this. 10.shaq 9.worthy 8.chamberlain 7.kobe 6.erving 5.bill rusell 4.magic johnson 3.kareem 2. bird 1. JORDAN! Bird is better than magic because magic going into the nba already had fame and respect, but bird actually had to work for it. 4.

[keyon11000]

@MegaFunnydude23 lol you must be white? Bird # 2? Come on mane. lol

[southsidehell]

do you realy think that Shaq is better than Kobe? Anyway...this is all f***** up!



[whocares2023]

@southsidehell shaq is way better than kobe

[Hodbrook]

Pete Maravich is number one: why? because Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, Elgin Baylor and anyone who actual plays and study's basketball knows it: because he has moves that Michael Jordan would look like a kindergardener trying to perform: and this is the dumbest list of all time: why? Because lebron james - the self proclaimed "the king' - shouldn't even be in top 100: this is a joke and everyone here is dumber for watching this.

[str8tsole684]

I ain't a heter but how the hell did LeBron get in top 21 nd most of the players before him were way better than him. LeBron u bad but u over rated in this list. U would've been in the 60's or 70's in mine. Nd Kobe's my fav. but i can't argue with his place, even though he would've been in my top 5 or 6. No Offense. MJ is truly the greatest. I luv the top five, but the rest is kinda messed up. Nd as for the NBA, do a better job in picking the greatest players.

[mohio23]

will chamberlain will stay the best till some one scoers 100 points

[McNallySkateboarding]

where is elgin baylor..

[TroubleinParadise000]

WHOA Jordan at #1?! didnt see that one coming

[gaytan05]

Wheres Derrick Rose?

[TroubleinParadise000]

@gaytan05 he wasnt a star yet when this was made. Actually I dont think he was in the NBA yet either

[str8tsole684]

He wasn't even found yet and if it was made now he probably wouldn't be on it bcuzz he's only like three years pro. But he is a badass. Dis is why i questioned LeBron's place. He was only like 2 or 3 years pro when they made this list.

[jamesdante1101]

WTF Shaq is TOP 5?! he shouldn't even be in the list

[lilboyroyj]

steve nash is not better than allen iverson

[nadeemabolail]

scottie should be in the top 20

[str8tsole684]

Das wassup.

[nadeemabolail]

dwayne wade is underrated

[mohio23]

@nadeemabolail how the fuck is he in the 50th spot and steve nash is 33

[imad076]

Shaq should not be in the top 10..thats just stupid

[dann234234]

john stockton was a beast definately deserves a higher spot and mark eaton should be there somewhere and deron williams to

[montypythonfanatic1]

Larry Bird is totally ahead of Kareem. Hell he should at the very least be in the top five.

[IOWNYOURTURFNOW95]

whats with all the old guys they wouldnt be shit if they played nowadays

[zimbreator]

I like the TMac position in the list. Without injuries he would be on top 15

[dubc1976]

Wheres Bill Russell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[FierCeSC]

@dubc1976 you serious lol?

[413slim]

Wow. Karl Malone ahead of Kobe. Pat Ewing like number 40 and Sir charles in like the top 15. What was the difference between the two? Both were good players with no rings in the same era

[dann234234]

dont be hatin on karl malone

[osakakid]

this guy has Tracy McGrady ahead of Wade, enough said.

[ULTIMATEcoltsfan4247]

Larry Bird #8?!?!?!?!?!!?? BS

[hratchig80]

Amare #100.... nice...

[nba2klover94]

hakeem needs to be in the top ten and tim duncan better than larry bird and oscar robertson and shaq ahead of wilt did shaq ever score 100 points in 1 game wtf man

[grumploks]

really??? do you really think tim duncan is a better player than dwayne wade or kobe bryant or even john stockton??? i mean tim duncan is cool but kobes top ten...

[choochoogoesit]

@grumploks It says as of December 2007.

[MrAirsoftdude6]

dude your stuped lebron is not the 21st!!!!!!!

[STAT132]

@MrAirsoftdude6 "Stuped"

[badpdx]

@BNS224: Excellent points. Again, I can't argue. I'm old enough to remember when Moses was HYPED by the league, and for good reason. When MJ came along, a lot of the older players who'd gotten publicty (even ones with cool nicknames like Iceman and Chocolate Thunder) were pretty much forgotten. Not MJ's fault, but it's nice to see somebody who remembers that Larry, Magic and Michael weren't the only players in the 80's.

[badpdx]

I'm not a fan of either Tracy McGrady or Reggie Miller. However, I don't see why McGrady rates 20 slots higher than Miller. That doesn't exactly make sense. No way is T-Mac one of the 50 greatest of all time.

[badpdx]

@BNS224: Can't argue with your list. I might quibble and put Shaq in there instead of Moses, or Karl Malone instead of Duncan, but I'm not going to.

[mozelimunada]

We all know it's Jordan, Magic, Bird and then you can put some centers if you wish

[mozelimunada]

Bird can never be only 8th!!!

[tamtam120]

im surprised dennis rodman wasnt in here

[7wordssssssssss]

make labron 10 and make KG 13

[THUGThe31]

all them tha fucking besttttttttttt

[hameleonas10]

Nash & Iverson is better them 30 ;/

[sarge34sam]

wat song this?

[serge647]

Tim duncan better than Olajuwon, Kobe, Robertson, Bird, Malone WTFFF

[splashty09]

@serge647 ya i can see why hes above kobe and malone but olajuwan and bird no way

[mrmikespence1964]

HONKY!!!!!! MICHAEL JORDAN! IS THE BEST GODDAM PLAYER! EVER TO PLAY! IN THE NBA! DAMMIT!!!!!!!

[recoil97]

Chris Webber ahead of Big Game James by about 20 spots? No wayyyyyyy

[supahcanfly]

Vince was noticed mostly for his dunking... Allen Iverson WAS NOT better than Scottie Pippen...

[TheFDrScAnLoN]

Great, the NBA thinks TiM Duncan is better than Larry Bird. Larry Bird, the leader of his team and rated no. 8 by whoever the NBA is supposed to be here, beat a team in the 1984 finals that had no.2, Kareem, and no.4 Magic. You think if you replaced Bird with Duncan they would have even gotten out of the 2nd round of the playoffs? You don't think if Bird played for the Spurs during the same weak years the Spurs probably would've won 7 or 8 championships? Debusschere at no.70? NBA=NoBballAcumen

[lukeman352]

@TheFDrScAnLoN but they took them down the next year and in 1987

[SpcMedia21]

1. Michael Jordan

2. Kareem A Jabbar

3. Wilt Chamberlain

4. Magic Johnson

5. Kobe Bryant

Love the Song. JESUS IS KING. JESUS IS GOD. JESUS IS OUR ONLY HOPE OF REDEMPTION WITH THE FATHER.

[djhns451]

kobe at 11 uhhhhh nooooo shud be number 2.....must be a kobe hater

[lil3dwade1]

@djhns451 dude said he didnt make the list. he said the nba put this out in 2007. not him

[Xx11256xX]

@djhns451 you must be dumb or 12

[Boff122]

@djhns451 He's not even close to number 2, hell he shouldn't even be as high as 11.....must be a kobetard

[1Ace1Spade1]

How is Steve nash better than A I ?!

[masterlegend10]

lebron would be in the top 5 now if not #1

[Xx11256xX]

@masterlegend10 wait and see first

[masterlegend10]

@Xx11256xX ok

[goofythebest1]

how in the world is kobe 11 must be a kobe hater

[doomy88kent]

[Xx11256xX]

@doomy88kent yea one of the most dominant players of his time

[rsizzle991]

i think billy cunningham at 52 and and artis gilmore at 51 had their pictures switched

[TheNamibianGuy]

Its as of 2007 idiots

[blinkthugz]

1. Kobe Bryant 2. Lebron James 3. Dwyane Wade 4. Carmelo Anthony 5. Kevin Garnett 6. Dwight Howard 7. Kevin Durant 8. Derrick Rose 9. Dirk Nowitzki 10. Rajon Rondo DREAM TEAM! :) LOL i wonder what would happen if they're gonna be put up on one team. o.O

[KOBEandCAMBRIA24]

1. Kobe

2. MJ

3. Magic

4. Russel

5. Wilt

6. Bird

7. Kareem

8. Duncan

9. Shaq

10. Oscar

[KOBEandCAMBRIA24]

if Kobe played in his prime, im talkin back in the 81 point days, with the Lakers team he has had over the past 4 years or so, he would have won every year and would have 8 rings by now. its all timing, and MJ played vs white people.

[ZeroPrince15]

u have no knowledge of the game at all if youre putting shaq and duncan over oscar. sorry but no.

[Xx11256xX]

@KOBEandCAMBRIA24 magic johnson,barkley,bird, shaq,hakeem the dream, the admiral,karl malone,gary payton,the 90s was white?lol and just because kobe's more skilled doesn't mean he's better.how is he a better scorer?im pretty sure 30>25.in what way is kobe better?he's a shot jacker...mj's FG% is higher than kobes by 4% if i remember.you are way over exaggerating,8 rings?lmao he got sweeped by the mavs.every player grows old and out of their prime (exceptions for a few players)

[KOBEandCAMBRIA24]

the most skilled player ever is Kobe Bryant. when compared to MJ, Kobe's better at shooting, hes a better scorer (although his numbers say hes not. its beacause Kobe came in the league at 17 and his first 4 years brought his career average down. also, if Kobe played w/o shaq, he coulda scored 40 a year), he has better footwork, hes the best perimeter tough shot maker in NBA history (BY FAR), he has better fundamentals. MJ's better at drivng, defense and post game. Kobe is the best... Ever.

[ncsufan33]

Why isn't Pistol Pete in the top 10?!

[johnmiami18]

why is dwyane wade 50 thats bs

[berserkerm0de]

no lie i hate lebron cause i was a heat fan, but right now he's the best player in the nba. i mean he's not human. and yes i like D.rose better

[woohoo989]

amare stoudemire should be way higher



[CenationTroop]

Patrick Ewing and Dwayne Wade should be higher

[bostonfan971]

i agree with this except kareem should be #1 and MJ #2

[superheadfreak]

1. Michael Jordan

2.Magic Johnson

3.Larry Bird

4.Kobe Bryant

5.Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

6.Wilt Chamberlain

7.Hakeem Olajuwon

8.Shaquille O`Neal

[Xx11256xX]
