Russell, MJ, Magic, Wilt, and Kareem. Shaq and Duncan are just on the outside looking in, and then the next tier has Bird, Kobe, and perhaps Hakeem.

How can you justify having Bird two tiers lower than Magic? That's ridiculous.

It's difficult to rank players half-way through their careers, especially when using a number of different sources. Remember, these aren't my own rankings, although I suppose my methodology influenced the rankings somewhat (LeBron would be a lot lower if I didn't weight the rankings more towards the most recently published rankings).
I am sure LeBron will retire ranked ahead of Elgin Baylor on the all-time list. For now, I think it's fair to see him ranked 25th. Trust me, there is enough outrage from people at RealGM that he is above the likes of Stockton and Pippen, let alone if I started moving him ahead of all-time legends like Elgin Baylor.
