Why is there a gap between Jordan and Kobe...and Bird?

[AussieSteve]

What's your methodology?

Why do you not have a single center in the top 30?

Why is Garnett higher than Barkley, when Barkley was clearly the superior scorer, rebounder and ball handler?

Dirk, so far above all other bigs? Tells me that you rate shooting range way above all other skills?

I think they are on different tiers in terms of skill level.

[Manny98]

I'm the biggest LeBron stan on this forum and even i don't think he's more skilled than Bird

Nash at 21 just

It is mostly based on their offensive game with their defensive game factored in a little bit.

So why Garnett 2nd highest PF then?

If your rating primarily based on offensive game, surely the greatest offensive PF ever would be pretty high up on the list.

Garnett's offensive game was actually quite widely palleted when you consider that he could play with his back to the basket, had a fadeaway and could use it to draw the defense away from the basket.

Barkley scored a lot more in the paint, which is easier to do when you are that size. Barkley also had his given girth to help him attain rebounds while Garnett's were based more on athleticism.

[72-10]

you act like there's some huge gap between Barkley and Garnett when there's a few players separating them

Can you just tell me something that KG is more skilled at than Barkley on the offensive end?

While you're answering, keep in mind that KG never scored more than 35 points in a playoff game in his whole career.

[MoBe1Kanobi]

How TF was Ray Allen 7 spots MORE skilled than Tracy McGrady smh


TMac was arguably as skilled as Kobe and Jordan, Ray Allen didn't have most of the skills TMac had. Tmac was basically a better shooter too considering difficulty.

[Uncle Drew]

No mention of Duncan whatsoever, meanwhile y'all arguing whether about Ray Allen lmao.

[PickernRoller]

That gap between Jordan and Kobe doesn't exist doe...

we family and all but...

[Sakkreth]

This is horrible tbh...
