Reasons for the choices are in the link.

1. Larry Bird
2. Julius Erving
3. John Havlicek
4. Elgin Baylor
5. LeBron James
6. Scottie Pippen
7. James Worthy
8. Rick Barry
9. Dominique Wilkins
10. Paul Pierce

[DaPerceive]

I agree with the first three but I stop after that.

As much as I like and respect Elgin Baylor, he shouldn't be in the top 5. Rick Barry was also terribly underrated. 8th? The dude should be in the top 5 at the least.

Yes, he doesn't deserve 8th, IMO. However, Top 5 might be streching it. And LeBron isn't done either and his resume is probably already surpassed Barry's for the most part. Barry over Pippen and Baylor seems logical, I suppose.

IMO:


[LIST=1][*]Bird[*]LeBron[*]Havlicek[*]Erving[*]Pippen[*]Barry[*]Baylor[*]Worthy[*]Wilkins[*]Pierce[/LIST]


Barry at 8 is definitely too low. He's around 5-6. Definitely no lower than 6.

hahahahahahahahahaha

hahahahahahahahahaha

His pure talent alone puts him there, and I don't even like him.

Baylor not top 5, cause he couldnt beat the Celtics??

Paul should not be here.

[Sarcastic]

hahahahahahahahahaha

None of the guys ahead of him were every considered the best basketball player on the planet, except for Bird.

4, 5, and 6 are pretty interchangeable

worthy over wilkins is very, very odd

All I'm saying is he's top 5 material as the list suggests for now

when it's all said and done, I think he'll be 1 or 2

Same with Worthy over Barry.

They didn't call him Big Game James for nothing. He'd be even higher if he wasn't a sidekick to Magic and Kareem. Worthy was much more efficient, a better passer, and better defender. He was a better defender than people gave him credit for.

He won a Finals MVP playing alongside two of the top 5 players in the history of the game. He is unbelievably underrated.

LeBron is not the second greatest small forward to ever play. Will he be? More than likely but it is a little pre-mature to make such a statement.

I really don't agree with LBJ being above Barry. Barry single handily won his team a championship in 75, which is a better accomplishment than anything LeBron has ever done. Barry should be above LeBron and in the top 5.

1. Bird
2. Dr. J
3. Hondo
4. Barry
5. LeBron
6. Pippen
7. Baylor
8. Worthy
9. Pierce
