Barkley: Lebron already top 10 but no matter what he does can never become top 5

[CJ Mustard]

This is my top 11 as of now

Jordan
Kareem
Russell
Magic
Wilt
Bird
Shaq
Duncan
Kobe
LeBron
Hakeem

Decent list. Replace Kobe with Oscar and Duncan ahead of Shaq though.

[aj1987]

What in the ****? Where is Shaq? The most dominant player EVER, who won 3 FMVP's? Duncan? 4x NBA Champion, 3x FMVP, 2x MVP, GOAT PF, and one of the greatest defenders. EVER. Barkley is ****ing retarded. Lebron, Kobe, West and Oscar aren't better than Shaq and Duncan. West and Oscar aren't better than Hakeem.

Kobe has to be in the top 10, no?

And I always move Shaq, Duncan, and Kobe around at 7, 8, and 9. I can never decide.

[chosen_one6]

No Duncan or Shaq makes me question Barkley's top 10 opinion.

[tazb]

He also said just a few months ago that LeBron was better than Jordan. **** this bi-polar, ringless, fat piece of shit.

[Magic 32]

Maybe he saw game 1, 2,3, 5, and most of game 6 of the finals.

[Rasheed1]

Barkley's an idiot... There is plenty Lebron can do to reach top 5 status..

[tazb]

Maybe he saw game 1, 2,3, 5, and most of game 6 of the finals.

I'm sure he watched Game 7 too, you know, where the superstars rise and carry the team to the finish line. Not where so called superstars go 6-24.

Wow. So glad we didn't hire him as a GM.

[Nuff Said]

I don't get it. During the series Barkley said Duncan was def top ten. What happened?

[Magic 32]

I'm sure he watched Game 7 too, you know, where the superstars rise and carry the team to the finish line. Not where so called superstars go 6-24.

Lebron finally hitting wide open jumpers.

Spurs brilliantly complex defensive scheme backfired ..... after 6 games.

MJ would have killed these Spurs, just like Kobe did in 08 (with Bruce "shutting down Lebron" Bowen on the team).

oscar is not even top 10

Barkley's untouchable top 5:

*Michael Jordan
*Oscar Robertson
*Wilt Chamberlain
*Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
*Bill Russell



Barkley's remaining top 10 where Lebron established his place:

*Lebron James
*Kobe Bryant
*Magic Johnson
*Larry Bird
*Jerry West



I actually like his list.

Oscar in the "definitive top 5" is the weak link in his argument that LeBron can't crack it.

The whole Oscar argument rests on:
- all-around "level of play" at his peak: subjective, but LeBron's not so lacking in this department that you couldn't argue in his favour.
- averaging a 30 point triple double: adjusted for pace, 2009 and 2010 LeBron most likely would've had similar stats.
- leading some of the best offenses of all time: okay, but so did Steve Nash (who is underrated, but still).
- winning 1 championship past his prime by feeding Kareem Abdul Jabbar in the post: LeBron won 2 in his prime.

Shaq and Duncan aren't Top 10?

I mean, Kobe is Top 10 but Shaquille O'Neal isn't? The man who won back-to-back-to-back Finals MVP.
