Your website basically offers resumes for each of these players. You do not explain why a player is ranked where he is. For instance, how can Lebron be 20th all-time (two spots behind Kobe, who is behind KG )?
I also noticed that you referred to Oscar Robertson as the best "all around" player. I thought you, when pushing another agenda, claimed you do not believe in the concept of "all around" play, that is a mere media concoction?

Why would Oscar Robertson who led his team to only one 50 game win season despite playing with hall of fame teammates like Jerry Lucas and Jack Twyman be a top 10 player of all time? Your top 10 list is sloid, but having the Big O on it makes it flawed, Kobe has proven to be a top 10 player of all time.

I answered this in another thread already. Kobe's resume doesn't stack up with the players I have above him. Take time to read the information I presented.

Forget Kobe. I am curious as to the reasoning behind your rankings. We know why you consider MJ the GOAT but what puts, say, Kareem 2nd, Bird 5th, Hakeem over Shaq, a guy with no rings 11th, etc.?
BTW I agree on Kareem being 2nd and Bird 5th.

Lebron's definitely does not. Having Lebron in the top 30 all-time at this point, let alone top 20, is a joke.
Edit: I was curious about where he placed Pippen. He has Pippen 39th. What is funnier is his commentary on him:
"Scottie was a streaky scorer but arguably the best sidekick in NBA history. Scottie's scoring peaked out at 22ppg, his rebounding peaked out at 8.7rebs, and his passing peaked out at 7.0 assists per game. There is no question that--more than any other player--his career was enhanced by the good fortune of playing with a superstar. He made eight All-Defense First Teams. Only Gary Payton and Michael Jordan had more. Many question Pippen's abilities as a leader due to his arrest while Jordan was gone, and the fact that he had problems in Chicago and Houston with teammates."
Citing his gun charge is as lame as citing MJ's gambling problems and alleged gambling suspension. Problems with teammates? Did Scottie ever punch a teammate during practice? The record shows that Pippen was one of those superstars who made his teammates better.
As to his career being enhanced by playing with MJ, that has been refuted several times. Pippen made MJ the consensus GOAT. Without Pip MJ would have a few rings but would be just another player in the GOAT discussion like Bird or Magic, not the consensus GOAT.

And I answered in another thread that you rank players by both individual and team success, not just individual success.
