Do not post about Kobe. I'd say 7-12 range is accurate for him and I have him at #12.

Also there's a highly chance of forgetting someone. But I think this list is pretty solid. At least for me.

Rondo is an elite NBA PG. The guy is a better passer than Derrick Rose and Russell Westbrook. Celtics are gonna surround him with a younger supporting casts once the Big three retires.

It took them 2 decades to recover after their original big three retired/moved to another team. Yea, good luck with that.

I have no idea how or why Dwight Howard is already on there. Pierce should be on there as well.

Wow, way to make yourself look stupid.

Suddenly your Top 50 list is completely irrelevant if you don't even know who Connie Hawkins is.

Who the **** is Connie Hawkins?

Reggie had a much more electric/charismatic/entertaining career/legacy..... and without him, there would have been no Ray Allen.... considering Ray admit himself he patterned his game after Reggie and watched most of Reggies games to copy his screen tricks & of the ball tricks and so on.....

So much goes for all-star selections when Reggie was no stat filler / stat padder / shotjacker to get more all-star selections amongst SGs in the 90s like Jordan, Mullin, Richmond, Rice, Ellis, Petrovic and so on... it was stacked and i dont think even Ray Allen would have got so many all-star selections there... Reggie was instead an assassin, a specialist, he loved to wait until 4th quarter and score most of his points there, kill the opponents, especially in playoffs and then point fingers & laugh at the guy who lost and had 50 points and stole his all-star spot....

So much goes for 1 championship when Reggie was arguably the most loyal player ever, he didnt ringchase unlike Ray Allen... he was begged millions of times to go to a championship contending team, but he wanted to do something which nobody has ever done before, bring a Championship to Indiana and if not... then die trying...

However the case, its pretty close... but none of them deserve top 50 imo, but they are right there knocking on the door

Why has everyone left rodman off? 5 championships, 2 dpoys, the rebounding titles, the all defense teams.

There's alot of guys that shouldn't be on that list before rodman

Take a look at my list.... would you really leave somebody out for Rodman?

Take the last guy on my list for example... Billy Cunningham...

1 x MVP
1 x NBA Champion
