Greatest NBA Player in History

[Aids Johnson]

:facepalm: at Lebron getting any votes.

 

[Bort]

Agreed.

 

[Danielson]

I know, I said the same thing

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Top 5: MJ, Magic, Bird, Wilt and Kareem.

Russell was the greatest champion in sports history.

Next 5 would be Oscar, Kobe, LeBron, Shaq & Duncan


LeBron isn't top 5 yet... but he is in line to become top 3 easily if he can come through with the dynasty that Miami has lined up for the next few seasons.

Question: who's the greatest post-MJ player? It's between Kobe and Duncan, but Kobe takes it, IMO.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

It's between Kobe, Shaq, Duncan & LBJ actually.

I lean Duncan, but 99-00 Shaq was a bad, bad man and LeBron is doing crazy things himself.

MVPS: Duncan 3, LeBron 3, Kobe 1, Shaq 1
Titles: Kobe 5, Shaq 4, Duncan 4, LBJ 1
Finals MVPs: Shaq 3, Duncan 3, Kobe 2, LBJ 1

As a complete NBA newb, who's the Messi of NBA atm? Or is it like a duo between Kobe and Lebron?

Also what is the standard age someone reduces in quality? For example, 30's in football is the start of down hill.

If Jordan doesn't win I'll have rustled Jimmies

LeBron is the best player in the world. It was a debate between Kobe/LeBron for a while, but at this point it's more LeBron is 1 and Durant is 1A

As for players declining.. just depends. If you are a guard who depends on quickness it could be 29-31 but if you are a big man who depends on strength and technique you can last until your upper-mid 30s.

Tim Duncan who I was just posting about is 36 (plays Power Forward) and playing his best ball in years.

 

[Crayo]

Never heard of Durant, damn. Quite shocked Lebron is still only 27.

 

[Bort]

LeBron is not the best, he hides way too often in big games, it's between Durant and Kobe. Kobe still proves he's an unparalelled talent, even with 34 on his back. LeBron has the best physique, though.

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

Durant is 6'11 and has the handles and shooting touch of a 6'4 shooting guard.

He's legit as fuck, might win MVP over LBJ this year

Yawn. You are the same hater who thought OKC would beat Miami in the finals. LBJ piggybacked Miami to a title last year, I don't give a fuck about his previous shortcomings in big games when he was going ape shit in the playoffs all of last year and came up huge in the finals. The LBJ hate rhetoric is as played out as it comes.

Kobe can't even get LA above .500 this season playing next to Dwight and Pau.

 

[Bort]

Fuck the MVP choices, why are you bringing them into conversation?

 

[Dolph'sZiggler]

No idea why I would do such a thing, or bother talking NBA with you now that I think about it lol

LBJ sucks, you were right all along!
