Wow. This guy is a paid analyst?

[jlauber]

His opinion is just as worthless as your's or mine.

[StateOfMind12]

Sounds like a top 5 I would expect a random fan on the street to have, not a paid analyst.

[RazorBaLade]

His opinion is just as worthless as your's or mine.

He gets paid for having his though. I don't get it.

[lilgodfather1]

I'm not sure who Chris Palmer is. But he sounds like an idiot. If LeBron is going to be top 5 then he needs A LOT MORE RINGS, and if Kobe is going to be number two then he needs at least two more rings. So basically LeBron has to win this year, Kobe the next two, and then LeBron has to win every ring until he is 34 with every FMVP giving him 5 total. That is not going to happen lol.

[jlauber]

He gets paid for having his though. I don't get it.

If you haven't figured it out yet, life is simply not fair. Hell, Bill Simmons, with absolutely no research, and filled with blatant lies, has sold books on the subject of basketball, ...of which he knows LESS than I do.

He didn't say what kobe will end up with but lebron 5 MVPs and 3 rings..

It's not impossible, but it all depends on how he does it. If he wins three rings with 30/10/5 finals then he is not top 5, but if he wins three rings with 35/10/5 it is a lot better case.

Not happening unless Kobe can rack in 2 more rings, 2 FMVP's. Not even sure if thats enough. can't wait for kobe haters' responses to this :lol

You know stats. That is all. You are never in your 50's. I never see you say "Then Wilt dropstepped to the basket for a layup", all I see is "Wilt had 50 and 25 in a season." And you lie more than anyone. You have been exposed more times than Jenna Jameson.

How can anyone still take analysts seriously after all the predictions they made last year? They get payed cause they polarize and generate hits and not cause of their supreme basketball knowledge.

I'm not sure that those two are where people have problems.

It's not impossible, but it all depends on how he does it. If he wins three rings with 30/10/5 finals then he is not top 5, but if he wins three rings with 35/10/5 it is a lot better case.
So not only do, shooting percentages, blocks, steals, defense, role and performance in the regular season, and role and performance in the playoffs in those years not matter at all to those rankings, but 5 points per game (over what could be as few as 12 games) is the decisive factor in where LeBron lands all time? Boy that is not remotely arbitrary.:rolleyes:

And yes analyses done by rings won, or player X needs at least Y rings to ranked in all time list range Z based analyses (without any regard to how the player actually plays) are also stupid.

Anyway yes this is an awful top 5.

[Rake2204]

palmer is a known lebron slurper. I'm almost convinced he says stuff for shock purposes. Had a tweet earlier than lebron had 3 mvps at an earlier age than MJ..yet ignoring that by mjs 9th year in the league he already had 3 titles too. :biggums: :coleman:

Sure, the fast break will come into play a lot. The Dream Team just doesn't have the defense to hold a team like this back.

1. Jordan is probably the only player with the foot speed to stay in front of Lebron unless you want to go with Pippen. Neither have the strength to avoid him from bullying past them or posting them up. You double and good luck buddy. Every player on the new team can hit a FIBA three, except maybe Rondo and Dwight. Lebron doesn't have to be the PG, but why not? He's just as quick as any PG they have on the Dream Team and plays better defense.
He can penetrate and draw doubles, and if there is no double. It's over. Going on to say, a lot of these guys could play the PG position just based off their ball handling and ability to penetrate, score, pass.

The new guys being more athletic, better ball handlers, better defenders, bigger, stronger and pretty much all in their primes doesn't hurt either. Durant = better version of Bird
Kobe = better version of Clyde for sure, arguably best scorer
Lebron = best all around defender out of all of the players
Dwight = best rebounder out of all, best rim protector

Not even worth going on...

The idea that a team of Magic (greatest fastbreak PG ever), prime Jordan, Pippen, Drexler (three of the best open-court/fastbreak players ever), Malone (greatest running PF ever), Barkley (probably the best open-court PF ever in terms of handling/finishing/passing), and DRob (probably the best running center ever) would get "run off the court" is so laughable as to not be worthy of comment. They would also get DESTROYED inside with Ewing/DRob/Malone/Barkley against Howard and...who exactly?

Magic wasn't even in his prime. Jordan, Pippen, Drexler are all slower than most of the players on the newer team. Malone? I'd take Melo or Dwight easily on the fast break. Why are you singling out the fast break? That's an advantage for the newer team. Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard, Tyson Chandler...Defensive look is Dwight and Tyson in the paint or mix it up with Bosh/Chandler or Bosh/Dwight.

Why? Because Pippen is better? Maybe. I watched Pippen his entire career. He doesn't have the size that Lebron has though. It's very debatable.

Great point. Bird was on a top team in his era and had great players surrounding him to share the scoring load. Meanwhile Durant is a better scoring talent with better ball handles. He's on a team without many guys who can either post up or shoot the ball so his scoring is way up. Bird, much shorter, much slower, way less talented scoring wise.

How about Jordan versus either man?

Grover:" Oh, Michael. No question. From a physical and mental standpoint, he's the best I've ever seen. If he were playing now, with the way the refs call everything, and with all the padding these guys wear, he'd average 40 or 50 a night if he wanted. "

And YES their shot attempts from 10-23 ft were EXTREMELY COMPARABLE....the reason Jordan's overall FG% was so low was he was living off of fadeaways and jumpers.

Seriously, that's some of the dumbest shit I've ever read. Pippen with his huge strides in his athletic prime probably got from one end of the court to the other faster than any wing player ever. Jordan, Drexler, and Pippen are all top five open court players of all time. I don't think I ever read anything so stupid when that dumb ass 04mzwach said they would be too "slow".

Everything god damn thing 04mzwach said is stupid. Jordan is the only one with the foot speed to defend Lebron James? When did Lebron James become some kind of speed demon as far as quickness side to side? Pippen could easily stay in front of Lebron. Then you have the audacity to say Lebron James is the best all around defender...because Scottie Pippen disappeared from the original dream team? Lebron is no way in hell the best all around defensive player but a 1992 Scottie Pippen is. Funniest thing was how you said Dwight Howard is the best rim protector...hahahhahah...umm...David Robinson? The guy who just won the DPOY, who led the league in bpg averaging 4.5bpg, and the guy who missed 14 games that season yet still had the Spurs #1 in defense because of how dominant he was when he was on the court. Dwight Howard the best rim protector of the bunch!?...good ****ing laugh.

LOL, you's a fool.

It's funny how kids are tryin to prop Kareem up above MJ these days. Most of ya'll weren't even born when Cap was playing. For years, Kareem was mentioned in the Top 5 players of all time, but most didn't put him #1. Now, it seems like Laker fans (re: Kobe fans) want to push Cap as #1 because they know Kobe will never be seen as better than MJ, so they'll settle for Kareem so that someone in the Laker family will be thought of as #1. I remember for years it was Wilt who Laker fans tried to say was the GOAT, but now it's Kareem.
