Replace Hakeem with Lebron, and possibly Moses.
And then where do you rank Dr. J if you include his ABA years?

Re: Your Definitive Top 10?
I don't think top 10 is a good number, because clearly 12 players sticks out from the rest of the pack.
1. MJ
2. Russell
3. Wilt
4. Kareem
5. Magic
6. Bird
7. Kobe
8. Duncan
9. Shaq
10 Hakeem
11. Lebron
12. Oscar

For the record, Lebron only isn't ranked there because he can still do more. He could be ranked anywhere from 9 through 5 when it's all said and done.
So yea , those of you who already have him at 10 or higher , be my guest.
Dr. J is Top 15 , 11 if you count AB years imo.

Re: Your Definitive Top 10?
Top ten's getting too crowded. top 15 should be the new meta for discussion soon.

I agree. It'd really let the list breathe. Guys like West, Moses, Dirk and KG wont feel so removed from the discussions.

I think anyone can make a case they're somewhere around that range.

Dunking on everybody in the park
Re: Your Definitive Top 10?
The only change to be made in your top ten list, and it was also brought up by another poster, is the addition of Lebron James and the removal of Hakeem. It isn't a knock on Hakeem, he used to be in my top ten, too, but Lebron has now surpassed him with four MVP's and five final appearances with two titles.
Hakeem is now 11th on my all-time list.

Regarding Oscar Robertson and his averaging a triple double in the early 60's, it was a different era and he couldn't duplicate that today. I am not trying to diminish him or his accomplishments, because he is an all-time great, obviously.
But the pace of the NBA back then was almost 20% faster than today and he played almost 45 minutes per game. Player's today don't have the luxury of that type of frantic pace to give them the necessary possessions, nor would they be allowed to play that number of minutes.
Oscar's in my top fifteen though.
