1) You're off-topic, that's not what the lists are about.
2) You're the same dude who didn't know who Lew Alcindor was and yet you're trying to judge who they played against and whether they're overrated or not?

I hope you're just being a homer. Because if you really believe so you don't know anything about basketball and the history of the league.

Not a soul on earth outside of Jerry West's immediately family would rank West over Bird in any kind of all time rankings.

You just don't know too much about basketball. You need to brush up on your, history, son.

You're nuts and don't know anything about old school basketball. Jerry West was not only a great scorer, he was an outstanding defender as well.

OP needs to clarify white American or White in general( Dirk, Nash) and clarify if guys like Ginobili are considered white( imo, no). Also, what about guys that are half white( jason Kidd), It seems the one drop rule is still applicable, even in the 21st century which is crazy to me but c'est la vie!!!

Put bird in the 60s and he would dominate west hard.

If Bird played in the 60s you'd be calling him a white stiff who couldn't play the modern game.

I don't need to show evidence to myself. I know what I saw. :)

and since he doesn't use that name often a lot of people won't know who he is. ofcourse i know who jabbar is. i dont sit around searching peoples names and aliases and what not....

Everyone who wants to comment on something regarding NBA history and doesn't know who Alcindor was is almost as bad as someone who wants to comment about old boxing and doesn't know who Cassius Clay was. His opinion simply has no real bearing.

How do you figure? West was a better athlete and more skilled than Bird.

[miles berg]

1. Larry Bird
2. Jerry West
3. Dirk Nowitzki
4. John Stockton
5. Kevin McHale
6. Bob Pettit
7. Rick Barry
8. John Havlicek
9. Bob Cousy
10. Steve Nash

[Psileas]

I don't think West was more skilled than Bird (both were great in that department), but, yes, he was easily the better athlete. He was probably the best athlete among all players of the top-10-although Havlicek was a more versatile one.
