New question: player who isn’t showing up in many top 3’s who should: 

 

Kareem

Yes, a lot of Houston folks are subbing Hakeem in.  Hakeem is solidly somewhere in spot 7-12....he is not a top 3 all time player, and generally sits behind Kareem and Wilt at C, much less all time top 3.

Whatever the fuck happened there with the post.  Point is Hakeem is getting a home town discount...it's understandable, I personally would not agree with it

I can't believe I've only seen Russell once other than my original tweet. 

I tend to not rate guys that I never actually saw play.    I do believe Russell was great I don't necessarily think he is a top 3 player even if I did rate players that I never saw play.    My three that I listed earlier and Magic are pretty much the only 4 I would really consider with a legit GOAT claim.

Cap doesn't get anywhere near the respect he should.   I dont really understand it.

He didn't work hard enough on defense and lots of times, he didn't even run downcourt, and he didn't really try except during the playoffs

Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes.

Dirk LOLz.

 

an absolute defensive liability has no place in this discussion.

 

Put him in the Favorites thread, and you could justify it, but in this thread, it's bullshit.

Yall must be trolling about Kareem or only remember him from 1985-89.  

And he was finals MVP in '85 at age 38.  

I'm kind of kidding, but:

We really forget how great Mikan was. He led to rules changes (shot-clock, lane width, goaltending), was the star of one the NBA's greatest dynasties, averaged 20 points a game during a playoff series with a broken leg, and set all kind of scoring records.

In some ways, Wilt is undervalued due to the championship issue, but he was the most dominant player ever.

And in-shape, motived Shaq was maybe the most unstoppable force ever.

I'd feel good about putting Kareem above Shaq, but not so confident about the other two. This is looking at their entire careers, not just their time on the Lakers.
