    -The ultimate goal will always be to win a championship

    -It's very difficult to evaluate individual player contribution in a team sport


    -My criteria for evaluating players:

    1) Titles as#1,MVP,FMVP

    2) Advanced stats,H2H battles,supporting cast

    3) Team/individual records

    4) Titles as #2


    -Some examples of advanced stats

    Playoff Leaders for Win Shares

    Jordan 39.76
    Kareem 35.56
    Duncan 33.08
    Magic 32.63
    Wilt 31.46
    Shaq 31.08
    LeBron 29.54
    Kobe 28.26
    Russell 27.76
    West 26.75
    Playoff Leaders for PER

    Jordan 28.60
    Mikan 28.51
    LeBron 27.26
    Shaq 26.13
    Hakeem 25.69
    Paul 25.48

    I know you're biased, I am the same way with Kobe, but Shaq should be higher and LeBron should be off that list for now IMO
    Shaq higher? That means Shaq is over Magic/Bird and perhaps Wilt/Russell/Kareem... MJ? Hm... do as you wish though....

    As for Lebron.... look i do like Lebrons game and thats about it, i love basketball to much to disrespect it in honor of a single player though, i am not biased/immature THAT way.... i prefer logic and facts, thats my only bias, this is because facts are impossible to argue against and facts in this case show for example:

    ....................................Lebron........ ..Hakeem........Kobe....
    MVP...................................4........... ......1...............1......
    FMVP..................................2........... ......2...............2......
    Championships as the man.......2.................2..............2......
    1st All-NBA...........................7.................6. .............11.....
    1st All-Defensive....................5.................5.. ............9......
    and so on...

    .......sorry but anybody trying to keep Lebron out of top 10 at this moment is suffering from some specific agenda or delusion... its either Hakeem or Kobe replaced, your choice.... you cant keep a player of that magnitude out of top 10 forever....

    Magic- 5 rings in 9 tries in 11 seasons. Greatest passer ever.

    Kobe- 5 rings in 7 tries. Greatest scorer of all-time.

    Bird- possibly the most clutch player ever. I've seen enough of his games in playback to know he'd be a force to reckon with in any era.

    Duncan- greatest PF ever. May not have eye popping, flashy games, but still a great winner. 4 rings in 5 tries.

    Shaq- the most dominant player not named Wilt. He'd be ranked higher if he actually bothered to try more often in his career. He came into seasons out of shape, undedicated, and he became a journeyman towards the end, but he still is among the top 10. It wouldn't make me cringe to see him on some top 5 lists.

    LeBron- overtook Hakeem. 2 rings in 4 tries, and 4 MVPs in 5 yrs. He'll be reaching the top 5 sooner than later.
    Based on what?

    The thread title states:

    "YOUR top 10 players of all-time"

    Why are some posters arguing who should be in the top 10 of someone else's list? Make your own list and get on with it. No point asking why a certain player should be in and the other shouldn't, nor questioning the reasons of someone else's arbitrary list.

    No one's satisfied with making their own arbitrary list; everyone else's list has to be a reflection of theirs as well.

    To be honest, I don't actually have one of my own. I would have to actually think hard about and keep career separate from playing ability.

    I would also to have to think about eras of competition, peer competition, skills, etc.... I can tell you this, I would value consistency the highest on my own list when in regards to players.

    For the record, the read of others opinions here does have some good insight, despite the questioning by other posters.

    Scholar >
    If we're going to say that Bill Russell has 11 rings in 13 tries, then the real numbers are 2 rings in 10 tries for LeBron, 5 rings in 13 tries for Magic, and 5 rings in 17 tries for Kobe.

    I think Tim Duncan would disagree with the idea that he didn't "try" for a championship in 2004 and 2006...
