    ESPN ranks the greatest NBA players of all time...

    Interesting list.

    Here is their top 10:

    #1. Michael
    #2. Kareem
    #3. Lebron
    #4. Magic
    #5. Wilt
    #6. Larry
    #7. Russell
    #8. Duncan
    #9. Shaq
    #10. Hakeem.

    I do not believe Kareem should be ranked that high. Probably a little early to put Lebron way up there. Personally, I thought Hakeem was better than Shaq. It's interesting they don't have Kobe in the top 10, he comes in at #12.

    Here is the entire list:

    I'd put Wilt before Kareem. Hakeem should be ahead of Shaq and Duncan.

    Horrible list

    Where is Osker Rabbetsin?

    Where in Elljin Bowers?

    ESPN proving once again that they are the Vietcong of sports media.

    I know right wade and bosh were trash, Lebron was winning rings left and right without them. This might be the worst rankings list I've ever seen.

    Jordan had the best shooter in the league, the best co-star in the league, the best rebounder in the league, the best 6th man in the league, and the best coach in the league

    Don't forget the rejection scenario mixed in, as well. It could be toxic.

    Isn't JJ hilarious how he bumps threads without even reading what's going on? He's almost computerlike.

    kareem has 6 mvp titles and 6 rings, russell has 11 rings! jordan has 6 rings, magic has 5 rings . duncan had 5 rings, kobe is not even listed here and has 5 rings .

    lebron is 31 and has two titles in 12 seasons. Magic had five in his first eight seasons ,Jordan had 5 in twelve seasons,etc.

    lebron is not duncan either, the way duncan plays gave him those 5 titles and he can play with age, lebron plays a very physical game and like someone who is going to wear down with age

    Rings is about the team, not the individual. Without Magic, Kareem would have only one.
