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

[The Giant]

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:

[Mr KLC]

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

Yes and yes!

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

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

[daneblazer]

[jjgold]

all these guys played with great players except Lebron and Jordan

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Lebron let Benghazi happen.

He should be in prison.

[The Giant]

Mo, happy Valentine's Day.

Lebron let Benghazi happen.

He should be in prison.

Dis is tru.

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.

[rm18]

How is Magic always so high? overrated. Could not shoot or guard anyone.

[dlunc3]

all these guys played with great players except Lebron and Jordan

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

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

Mo, happy Valentine's Day.

Do you know how to tie a noose?

You need to speak to TTWarrior.

He can tie them so strong they hold his own weight.

kareem not top 5
Duncan is

[MoMoneyMoVaughn]

He will always be Lou Alcindor to me.

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.

[lakerboy]

Espn announced that if lebron loses another finals he will go to #1.

[Jeffie]

Espn announced that if lebron loses another finals he will go to #1.

And Kobe will go from 12 to 22.

[darrell74]

ESPN is retarded

You guys are better than that!!!!

[DrunkHorseplayer]

No way is Kareem top 10 and probably not top 20; LeBron should be #1.

[WalkingLuckCharm]

What my dog thinks is more important than what Espn thinks

[gregm]

No way is Kareem top 10 and probably not top 20; LeBron should be #1.

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

[DrunkHorseplayer]

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

[Ballin24]

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

Not really this is basketball not baseball rings matter in the NBA for comparing individuals.

[ttwarrior1]

iverson way better than his rank. Love in top 100

[Chi_archie]

11 rings but when Bill Russell played there were 8 penetrating teams

and he played with like 4 Hall of Famers

[capping40pct]

Horrible list

Where is Osker Rabbetsin?

Where in Elljin Bowers?

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

where is Sam Bowie and Greg Oden??

[Seto]

iverson way better than his rank. Love in top 100

They seriously put Kevin Love in the top 100? That discredits the whole list right there. Not even gonna bother reading it now.

[Flashmo]

no Jerry West? no Oscar Robertson? seems bogus to me..should have been divided into 2 eras

[Don_Omarion]

They seriously put Kevin Love in the top 100? That discredits the whole list right there. Not even gonna bother reading it now.

+1 .. agree

[DOM-Ganador]

Howard...yup that Howard made the fukkin list....

Anyone who knocks Kareem or Magic are clueless. Wilt I could get on board with being placed that high.

[Harry N. Lloyd]

He will always be Lou Alcindor to me.

I don't wanna be that grammar police D-bag........but it's Lew Alcindor.
