who the hell is chris palmer

Whoever he is, I have NEVER heard of him. If someone is paying him for his opinions, then they are truly wasting their money.

[OmniStrife]

Kobe at #2....

[jrong]

When its all said and done.

Wow. This guy is a paid analyst?

Amazing, isn't it? You have to sort through a lot of garbage on forums, but with the exception of a few notable writers, you can find much more substantive and insightful analysis on message boards than you will find from any professional sportswriters.

Wow. This guy is a paid analyst?

Does he have a Lakers flag on his car?

[G-Funk]

sounds about right

[d.bball.guy]

[keepinitreal]

His opinion is worthless.

fixed

chris palmer tryin to become the next skip bayless?

[NumberSix]

I'm not sure who Chris Palmer is. But he sounds like an idiot. If LeBron is going to be top 5 then he needs A LOT MORE RINGS, and if Kobe is going to be number two then he needs at least two more rings. So basically LeBron has to win this year, Kobe the next two, and then LeBron has to win every ring until he is 34 with every FMVP giving him 5 total. That is not going to happen lol.

Ahhhh, yes. Ring counting. Fantastic analysis.

[OmniStrife]

Ahhhh, yes. Ring counting. Fantastic analysis.

Indeed.

If you haven't figured it out yet, life is simply not fair. Hell, Bill Simmons, with absolutely no research, and filled with blatant lies, has sold books on the subject of basketball, ...of which he knows LESS than I do.

You know stats. That is all. You are never in your 50's. I never see you say "Then Wilt dropstepped to the basket for a layup", all I see is "Wilt had 50 and 25 in a season." And you lie more than anyone. You have been exposed more times than Jenna Jameson.

[Floppy]

How can anyone still take analysts seriously after all the predictions they made last year? They get payed cause they polarize and generate hits and not cause of their supreme basketball knowledge.

MJ too high. KAJ too low. #1 Kaj #3 MJ, now that's more like it.

I'm not sure that those two are where people have problems.

It's not impossible, but it all depends on how he does it. If he wins three rings with 30/10/5 finals then he is not top 5, but if he wins three rings with 35/10/5 it is a lot better case.

So not only do, shooting percentages, blocks, steals, defense, role and performance in the regular season, and role and performance in the playoffs in those years not matter at all to those rankings, but 5 points per game (over what could be as few as 12 games) is the decisive factor in where LeBron lands all time? Boy that is not remotely arbitrary.

And yes analyses done by rings won, or player X needs at least Y rings to ranked in all time list range Z based analyses (without any regard to how the player actually plays) are also stupid.

Anyway yes this is an awful top 5.

[Rake2204]

Ahhhh, yes. Ring counting. Fantastic analysis.

I am glad someone else feels the way I do.

[GOBB]

Bron not top 10 let alone top 5 to me. With rankings criteria has to be set however.

Hilarious.
