Top 5 natural talents all-time

[WillC]

Why did you write KAJ's name as Lew Alcindor ?

Because he wasn't called Kareem Abdul-Jabbar until he was 24 years old.

My article assumed all the players were 20. He was called Lew Alcindor at that age.

Top three in no order:
Lebron,Shaq,Wilt

These three guys were so talented even without the work they put in they would still be very successful.

I dont think anybody stands out like these three

Of course a lot of honorable mentions
Vince Carter
Both MJs
David Robinson
Durant(everybody forget him)
et.

great picks. those are the three players that came to mind for me.
Durant is a great choice too now that I think about it-- that combo of height, length, touch, speed, finesse, and of course shooting ability is unparallelled.

As for the Barkley mentions, I don't quite see it. I understand he was fast, athletic, and incredibly strong, but from what I've seen, he shouldn't sniff a list of "top 5 natural talents." And was he really that lazy? From what I've seen, much of his greatness was because he outworked everyone on the court. He was fierce.
