Who is the Greatest Of All Time For You?

[N0Skillz]

Now some rules first.

Don't Lie, who do you really think was the best person to ever play basketball.

No hate, the sport of Basketball has been lucky enough to be blessed with many Basketball players.

No era BS, say the name or names and give a reason.


So I'll go first.


I Believe Shaq or KAJ (Im split) where the best players to ever live

KAJ



Reason : He Averaged 20+ Points Per Game For 17 YEARS. Amazing Hook Shot


Shaq


Reason : He is the most dominant player I have ever seen. If he was on the floor in any game during his Lakers Years you would feel it.

14 Years 20+ Points Per Game
Most Dominant Playoff performer ever.

Jordan. But a Slim Margin over Bird and Magic respectively.

[Mr. Jabbar]

KAJ or Jordan. I can live with any of those being the GOAT really.

Kareem

Chris Dudley. Because of his defense.

[sh0wtime]

Bill Russel.

Why? His championship legacy, his rebounding/clutch legacy, his defensive legacy, his productions, achievements, accomplishments, awards, milestones, records and impact on the game.

Bill Russell won 11 championship rings. With that being said I am counting the 2 he won as a player-coach, thats right he played and coached at the same time. These 11 NBA championships were won in 13 NBA seasons. Which means that around 85% of the time that Bill Russell was in the NBA, he won an NBA championship.

Chris Dudley. Because of his defense.

Didn't he barely lose the governor race in Oregon a few months ago? Or is that a different Dudley?

Jordan: The one who "transcended" the Game that now all the current best players copy. Kobe, lebron, wade etc etc etc

Magic: The one who "transformed" the game. He controlled the game from get go. He decided the outcome. He made everyone around him better including greats like Jabbar & Worthy. No one ever ran "offense" better than him ever in NBA history.

Bird: The one who "transformed" the game. showed how the game is played with highest IQ. showed how to control the game without the ball with no athletic ability. the most instinctive player game has ever seen. his clutchness, shooting touch & footwork combination was deadly.

Wilt: we all know why

Kareem: we also know why

For me it was a toss up between Larry and Magic with most of the favor for Larry. Mine was a strong Celtics household growing up when I discovered the game and that's who we wanted to play the game like.

To me there was no one better than those two although watching Michael Jordan was pretty exciting.

Jordan, with a pretty huge gap after him. Nobody dominated the game as much as him.

[Patrick Chewing]

Jordan and Wilt
