Where are Stockton and Nash on your list ? They didn't have much in the way of size or athleticism, but still had HoF careers because of their skill. They should be top-5 at a minimum.

Stockton literally had no left hand either to be fair. You should’ve mentioned Mark Price instead. He was basically a quicker version of Nash with better defense in a more physical era.

I think that those players are about as skilled as Pete Maravich.

[LostCause]

I think Ginobili should be on this list before Reggie and maybe even Clyde

if u not putting wilt on the list gtfo with ur all 80s 90s players

[Gileraracer]

Lebron if stiff arms, offensive fouls, travels and flops are a skill


Edit: are collusions also a skill?

[72-10]

Would Wilt have been better than Hakeem in the 80s and 90s?

[3ball]

Stockton should be on there

And his left hand wasn't a weakness for him or any NBA player, and probably 90% of D1 players, and the majority of HS players and probably at least 1/3 of junior high players

Most high schools won't put you on varsity if your left hand isn't on point.. it's a standard part of the game

most collusions

I agree, plus I think Lebron should be lower on that list as well.

old wilt played prime kareem to a stand-still in 70' and 71'.. it wasn't until 72' that Kareem started to outplay him

I think prime wilt would've dominated all of today's centers.. Kareem's peak stats occurred in 72', and wilt destroyed those stats 6 years earlier in 66', which were still way below his peak 50/25 stats (and 48 mpg, never fouling out)

according to Phil Jackson, wilt was stronger than Shaq with more endurance... Idk, it seems like Phil is saying wilt > shaq below - he doesn't say exactly, but he seems to give wilt more props:
