Official #24 NBA Player Of All Time According To ISH

[Collie]

Look I dislike Kobe as much as the next guy, but even I have to say he deserves this spot. For him not to be on the top 25 of all time is ludicrous.

My vote is for Drew Barry's father. He took the mothafrugin' Golden Stae Warriors to the NBA title in 1975 over Wes Unseld, Elvin Hayes, Bobby Dandridge and the Washington Bullets. He is the only player to lead the NCAA, NBA & ABA in scoring. He averaged alomst 36 PPG his 2nd season in the league.

I somewhat agree with that, but Rick Barry is clearly more deserving than Kobe for this spot. I think I have Kobe at 25 just ahead of Pippen, only because Kobe has a few more years to accomplish some solo success, while Pippen only had that ECF in 1994.

Rick Barry here gets my vote

I guess it's time for Kobe Bryant.

With Nique, Pippen, Gervin, Barry, Drexler, and English not in yet...or Ewing, Kidd, KG, Hayes, and Willis Reed....no way Dantley is enen up for consideration yet. Hes down in the 60s if not 70s with Mark Aguirre. And yes I know Dantleys numbers. And I saw him play. Put up like 29-30 over 7 years shooting 54-60 percent yearly. But he was never an elite player. In the 80s alone at the 3:

Moncrief
Bird
Doc
King
English
Nique
Gervin
Drexler

All above him in either dominance or accomplishments. Most in both. 2 didnt have long careers but peaked higher. Adrian was productive but not top 24 all time over guys with MVPs and a couple rings like reed and Cowens who have not even been really considered yet. Long long time before Adrian matters.

We've already discussed it... People can read it here. http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37651

I'm not big on awards either... Too many times I've disagreed with awards given.

Would you agree that he did more than Kobe? Sure he didn't play along Shaq and get rings, but can you imagine if he would have?? The Lakers would have been a much better team with AD and Shaq, than with Kobe.

[XxNeXuSxX]

Gary Payton.

[Psileas]

Kobe.

Barry is close, though.

[Collie]

I would rank Walt Bellamy over Adrian Dantley in the overall scheme of things.

Please not!!!! we all know Rick Barry is/was superior than Kobe Bryant!!!!!

And my vote goes to Rick Barry! please let's all gather together and show respect to the great Barry

I would rank Walt Bellamy over Adrian Dantley in the overall scheme of things.

shrug, hard for me to rate guys I havn't seen... Walt averaged 20.1 points off 51% shooting and 13.7 rebounds in an era when rebounds were easy to come by... AD had more points, both in total and on average, and shot a higher percentage.

Though I didn't watch Walt, so I can't say.
