Rabid Laker fans attack in 3...2...
For me, after Jordan it's:
Wilt
Kareem
Magic
Bird
Russell
Oscar
In that order. I've soured on Russell a bit the past couple of months. I used to have him in the top 4.
before mj is kobe, so after mj is probably iverson, lebron category.

...
Everything included Bill is a top 3 player in my book. However, individually he is not, if that makes any sence.

It won't be long before people start saying that Wade or LeBron will be GOAT. Sad but true.

At my comment that Wilt should unquestionably be second, if not first, is simply because of his domination.
If you go by the numbers, it would seem Wilt would be, inarguably, the greatest of all time. This does not mean the numbers mean everything, but they do accurately portray how dominant one man was for a whole era in basketball. If you can average 50 points and 20 RPG then you should automatically start being considered G.O.A.T. But Wilt never really got the rings to go with the stats.
Anyway, Wilt is #2 All time on my list.
He got the stats(Arguably the best ever), dominated the league by a wide margin, and was able to finally come out with a ring in the end.
Just scratching the surface, I'm really hammered right now.

Bill Russell
Hands down.
My man has 11 rings, and only 10 fingers.

The man also had the best team mates. He's up there, but you can't judge a player solely on rings.

is there really one?
I really can't say there is anybody better than Bird, same with Magic and MJ...
Well maybe Wilt, he was like the Paul Bunyan of Basketball, but it's hard to say because he played in a different era.
