I am not so sure if I agree with this Karl Malone never got much credit because he was over shadowed by Michael Jordan. I would not dispute MJ been better then Karl but Karl gave MJ enough problems to deserve to be listed.
Let me tell you the facts. Shaq won the championships in the 2000's for the Lakers. Who was MVP? SHAQ all 3 championships period! Another thing; Shaq was UNSTOPPABLE and if you are a true Laker fan you would know this. Stop hating on Shaq. If the Lakers wouldn't of had Shaq in those days the Lakers would never have won those Championships. Kobe is a good shooter; I will give him that but he does not belong in the top 10 but he would make it in the top 40's period.
Kobe and magic in front of michael jordan??? What?! You can tell your a lakers fan kobe first of all wouldn't have a chance against michael jordan. Hands down jordan is the best player ever.
Let me put this clear anybody who said thet Kobe should be on that list doesn't know anything about Basketball so give me a fuckin break!!! And stats prove i am right!!!!
@HaroldTheDog Kobe has no business on that list. He's the third best player of the last decade. Duncan and Shaq have had a much bigger influence on their teams than Kobe. Shaq destroyed teams in the Finals, Kobe hasn't come close to that, not once. Earning titles is a one thing, just having them is another. Replace Kobe on the first Lakers championships with Mcgrady/Ray Allen/fill-in-your-favourite SG at that time, and if you think they would lose, you are crazy. Shaq was a dominating force.
@75samuel75 Wow. You are so stupid. If you watch the playoffs game 7 from 2000, who was the one who had 25 points, 11 rebounds, and 4 blocks. Kobe. Who was the one who didnt make a field goal in the 1st 15 minutes. Shaq. and in the playoffs versus San Antonio in 2002, Kobe always bailed them out in the last minute. And look how many buzzer beaters he has. and the 81 point game. and the 12 three-pointer game. and the 62 points in three quarters. Kobe is worth being in the top ten at least.
pistol pete was an incredible player but he wasn't top ten in nba because he couldn't go more than 10 seasons and he never won a championship... In college he is arguably one of the best all time but I wouldn't put him on my list. 10.Tim Duncan 9.Kobe Bryant 8.Jerry West 7.Larry Bird 6.Oscar Robertson 5.Wilt Chamberlain 4.Kareem Abdul Jabbar 3.Magic Johnson 2.Bill Russell 1.Michael Jordan
@KB20four I am so sorry that I can comment so late. You gave it a year ago. There is no way or will any expert in the game of basketball will ever agree that Bill Russell or Kareem was better than Wilt. Wilt used to crush Bill, Bill was on a better team. Wilt held his own against Kareem and Wilt was at the end of his career. If he had met Kareem in his prime he would have blocked Kareem's skyhook more often then he did when they met.
Hakeem should be in there no doubt. Pete Maravich was great in NBa but not top 10(he would be probly the best in college all time). and Jerry West shouldn't be in there.
LiveByTheBall, please explain how Pete Maravich made your list. I want your reasoning behind the one man in your top 10 who did not win a championship among other things, I can't fathom how you put him ahead of well, man please just explain.
Ok, let me begin here: Elected to Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame (1987); All-NBA First Team (1976, '77); All-NBA Second Team (1973, '78); All-Rookie Team (1971); Five-time NBA All-Star; One of 50 Greatest Players in NBA History (1996). And also averaged 24.2 points as a career average. I think that just about hits the nail on the head.
If we are going strictly on accomplishments, then your #10 Lew Alcindor would be ahead, Hakeem Olajuwon, Tim Duncan, Karl Malone, Isiah Thomas, Shaq, George Mikan, Kobe (and I hate Kobe), John Stockton, Elgin Baylor...I could go on. The easiest base to go from is valuing players of the 70's at a higher level but not putting the Iceman at Pistol's level.
@LiveByTheBall So let me get this straight then how isnt charles barkley better then him or thes players, tim duncan, kobe bryant, KG, Shaq, D-Wade, Patrick Ewing, and Drazen Petrovic?
@LiveByTheBall Not a terrible list, and I think Pistol was great, but he really has no business on that list. You might like him, but no sir. Not to mention you put him in front of Kareem, and if Kareem is anywhere outside of the top 3, obviously you don't follow basketball very closely. That guy had a prime of 15+ yrs, at a time when they were flying commercial flights. But again, not a bad list, Pistol just doesn't belong.
@LiveByTheBall I don't understand how that "hits the nail on the head." Kareem has many, many more accolades than Maravich, yet you kinda just ignored them. 6x NBA Champion (Maravich never even played in a finals - college or pro) 3x NCAA Champion 6x NBA MVP 3x NCAA Tournament MOP 2x Finals MVP (16 years apart!) All-Rookie Team, Rookie of the Year (70) 19x All-Star 10x All NBA First Team (5x Second Team) 6x All Defense (5x All Defense Second Team) 50 Greatest Players (96) And there's more.
kareem at 10? he is alltime leading scorer, 2nd all time in rebs, 3rd all time in blocks, has made more fgs than anyone else, 2nd in free throws and most games played? he should be 1 or 2 split with wilt who btw to all the people who are teens on here and never watched old school ball, they are probably both better than mj
Believe me...I'm the first one to debate Jordan vs Bird...which I'm not EVEN going to get into again...let's just say I'm a huge Bird fan and they are definitely top 2...I would even flip flop Bill Russell and Magic Johnson...
first of all for those of u idiots who keep saying lebron and kobe let me tell u one thing.... lebron doesnt deserve to be on here yet u know why.... because he doesnt have any CHAMPIONSHIPS!!!! kobe could be on here but he aint done playing yet he's trying to add more CHAMPIONSHIPS to his finger.... and even then shaq would go on this list before he did.... kobe and lebron are beast... but if anything kobe deserves to be on here more than lebron. he's got more rings.
Rings mean everything, you dumb ass...what the Hell does mean something then? Dunks? Being a thug? Every person on that list would think your a freaking idiot for saying that...what the Hell do you think everyone plays for each year? RINGS, dumbass!!!
i know what you ment but come on LeBron got MVP this year he should be in the top ten not just for that but he tok a team who had noting to a team who is bout to win an nba championship
yea but 40 other players have gotten mvps not to mention how many players on top of that took their team to the finals by themselves...he is not ranked all time for rebounds or assists or blocks in the top 25 but he is coming up on 25 all time for scoring...so that means that there are alot of players who over the span of a career did alot more than he has done so far
Kareem is number 3, Magic and Bird should be tied, Russell was so much better then Wilt, Pistol Pete is in the top 20! And that's not how you spell Erving!!!!!!
u seriously dont kno who jerry west is seriously just stop watching basketball all together ur stupid as shit lemme make it easy for u 1 hes a laker hall of famer 2. hes the nba sign!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
