Top 10 White NBA players of All Time

Because that player doesnt exist?

Thought he just didn't know who Mikan because he made his comment after a poster who correctly spelled Mikan's name.

No way does Bird get #1 over Jerry West.

LOL @ Laker fans. Just taking homerism to new levels every day.

[Loki]

If this doesn't prove that Laker fans are the most ridiculous homers in existence, I don't know what will. West over Bird -- now I've heard it all.

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.

The context that I uses "more skilled" is playmaking ability: ball handling, finishing at the rim.... Not saying that Bird was a slouch, but I give the nod to West.

Well I guess the NBA is a homer as well since they made Mr. Clutch the logo of the league

[Mr Know It All]

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

Good list, I don't know if I'd put Dirk over Josh Stockton just yet though. Would I take Dirk in his prime over Stockton in his prime? Yes, but right now Johnny still has the credentials and the stats to be over Dirk IMO.

I'm surprised that Billy Cunningham is not getting any love...

The homerism is beyond compare. This is why the world hates Laker fans.

Then he just disappears and doesn't reply to your post.

Only in your world Loki, only in your world.

Sarcasm... or ignorance?

I should ask you the same question.

Eh yeah I know who Mikan is, since I'm a Laker fan I know him quite well.

Dude you come in here name calling like a little kid. Yet you still haven't offered any objective basis for saying that Bird is better than West.

From what I can tell, your whole argument is that I'm a so-called homer.

[Paladin55]

So I take it that Henry J. (Hank) Finkel does not make this list?

Dang, Dirk Nowitzki rated higher than John Stockton and Kevin McHale? Please tell me that you never watched a day of basketball until 2005-ish.
