not sure who I'm voting for yet, but order aside it looks like the top 30 will match my own

leaning Cousy, but he, Wade, and Pip are all top 25 guys in my book so the voters can't really go wrong

Wade, once again. Great resume, greak peak, great consistency through 9 years. His only problem has been injuries.

[Round Mound]

Stockton :confusedshrug:

[Deuce Bigalow]

Hard to chose someone right now. But what do you guys think of Dwyane Wade? Do you think that 2006 was legit? It seems to me that if everyone thought that 06 was legit Wade would easily be top 25. One of the greatest playoffs runs of all-time, one of the greatest finals performance of all-time, finals MVP, and now 2 Championships, his peak was great as well. But it looks like people just don't count it (06). I'm not saying the refs did it or not, just assuming what many people outside of Miami think.

But it looks like people just don't count it (06). I'm not saying the refs did it or not, just assuming what many people outside of Miami think.
I don't think I've ever seen a good case for Miami being helped much in the 06 series. I've seen lots of bad angles on fouls that were clearly fouls, and I've seen some questionable calls, but nothing that pointed towards the heat being given some sort of edge constantly. What happened in the 06 finals was pretty simple really. First off, the Mavericks probably gave an aging Shaq too much defensive attention for a second option, even as it became clear he wasn't going to be the one swinging the series (A couple Mavs players even said at one point that Alonzo was making more of an impact when he came in then Shaq did and I wouldn't wholly disagree), and then secondly the Mavs just weren't a great defensive team. Not awful by any means, but they really had no defensive perimeter talent. Wade blew by everyone they put on him once he finally put his mind into scoring every time down the court in game 3.
Also, I just think the Heat were plainly better. They won 52 games despite having some injury problems, and they had 8 guys who were capable of making an impact, two of whom were all stars.
Then on top of that Dirk didn't really show up, which really isn't brought up that often. He played a pretty awful series, which I think is just something that's going to happen to shooters from time to time. I feel that guys who rely on range shooting primarily won't be as consistent as guys who get inside, and Dirk has been a pretty good example of that.
So, I don't think there is anything to argue about in terms of the legitimacy of the championship. In fact, there is more to argue about with Wade in terms of what sort of wins his team could have put up without injuries in 05 and 07. The 07 team put up a respectable win loss ratio despite not having Shaq and Wade half the season, (and that season was a particularly weak one in the east which they could have taken advantage of) and Wade being out in the 05 ECF might very well have been the determining factor of that series, if not the championship.

[WillC]

Bob Cousy.

This is getting ridiculous.

[WillC]

The case for Cousy:

- 6 x NBA champion
- 10 x All-NBA 1st Team
- 1 x MVP
- 13 x All-Star
- 2 x All-Star MVP
- Led NBA in assists for 8 consecutive seasons

How he wasn't voted into the top 25 is beyond me. He was the most famous and impressive basketball player of the 1950s and, other than perhaps Magic Johnson, has the best resume of any point guard in NBA history.

Pippen

that is even top 15 worthy, not to mention he was the man in at least 2 of those championship runs, hypothetically had at least 2 fmvps

[arifgokcen]

I am still trying to understand why wade is not even in discussion.He is seriously underrated.Even though he had some injuries,his peak was better than most top 11-25 guys.His finals performance is probably top 5.He is 2 time nba champion.

Wade

[Kblaze8855]

The case for Cousy:

- 6 x NBA champion
- 10 x All-NBA 1st Team
- 1 x MVP
- 13 x All-Star
- 2 x All-Star MVP
- Led NBA in assists for 8 consecutive seasons

How he wasn't voted into the top 25 is beyond me. He was the most famous and impressive basketball player of the 1950s and, other than perhaps Magic Johnson, has the best resume of any point guard in NBA history.


He has a better resume than Magic id say. 2 less MVPs but 1 more ring, 1 more all nba first team, more all star games, led the league in assists 4 more time than Magic and relative to his era was probably more beloved and maybe...just about as well rounded. Believe it or not...bob Cousy actually played center just like Magic did. At his size...he was put at center more than once. Dont ask my how it worked out...I didnt see the game. But I read the recap and read Red saying he did it now and then for mismatch purposes.

That said....

If his resume were the issue he would be top 10. But it isnt. And to me there is one very good reason for that....

He had a team with 3 all nba first teamers on it and didnt even make the finals before Russell much less win. He wins Bills rookie season powered by the frontcourt(Bill and Heinson went off...Cousy and sharman combined to go 5-40 in game 7)...loses when Bill is hurt in the finals(cousy going 5-15, 5-17, and 4 of 15 in 3 of the games Bill was injured in no doubt didnt help...considering 2 of the 3 were one shot losses and the other was a 3 point loss). never loses again with Bill playing....by the end hes openly wondering in the press if he should even be starting over KC Jones. He had gone like 5-35 over a stretch and thought he was hurting the team being a started just because of his name....

So he retires. Russell ranks the first season without him as the teams best...and the greatest team of all time. Why? because they played the best defense. He mentioned that Cousys style was not going to help them win so he changed his defense for the express purpose of letting Cousy off the hook for letting his man by him so often...and they set up a deal where Bill blocks the shots and gets cousy the ball on the break as quickly as possible so he can run and do his flashy thing. Cousy himself said he was a capable but not always willing defender.

That...kinda sickens me. A guy whos greatest legacy will always be being a winner on those teams....got drug into respectable basketball by Bill Russell. And admits he didnt even want to play defense.

His resume is what it is because of Bill Russell. And them winning 5 rings without him should make that painfully clear. I dont know how his legacy really stacks up to a guy like even....Dolph Schayes or Pitchin Paul considering that.

These guys were warriors. Dolph was out there playing in the finals with a gotdamn cast on his broken arm. Dude was top 5 or so in asssits, led the league in rebounds I believe, dropped 50 on Bill Russell, led his team to a tlte(before Russell arrived), I think...didnt miss a game for like 10 years.....retired the all time leading rebounder and scorer. He was a 25/14 player in his prime. Could do it all. Ive heard Wilt praise his toughness, rebounding, shooting(he shot 90+ percent from the line several times), and defense(ive read that when his arm was broken he would pretty much just hit guys with the cast as a weapon...which I kinda like).


Plenty of guys like him. Arizin is out there dropping 30ppg to lead his team to a title and not shooting 32% on the way as cousy did some years they won.

But he will never be remembered by history because he wsnt lucky enough to be gifted Bill Russell and win 6 of his 11 rings.

You can call it unfair to knock Cousy for the greatness of his teammate...it might be unfair. But its sure as hell not fair to the guys who managed to get it done without a guy who oozed victory next to them that cousy gets all this love for shit he clearly wasnt the driving force behind.

Plenty of sidekicks are lucky to have their #1...sure. how many can say the guy won 5 rings without them at all?

Some find it disrespectful of Cousy to say. I find it disrespectful of the other guys who worked just as hard and dont even get mentioned despite doing what Cousy never could. Winning without Bill Russell.

And cousy flat out saying hes a capable but not always willing defender disrespects the game more to me than me pointing out that he said it and that bill russell covered for him and made him the winner hes remembered as.


Give me Stockton, Barry, Wade, willis Reed, Cowens, and a hell of a lot of others over Cousy. They didnt win like him. But he didnt win like him on teams that needed him to do it.

And its time more people would just be real about it.

No disrespect to anyone. Im paying more respect....to the people who worked all their lives to be great and dont get remembered like Bob because they played fundamental ball and didnt get Bill Russell to bail them out.

Id vote Paul Arizin in before Bob. Wanna give someone pioneer credit...he and Joe Fulks pretty much invented the pullup jumper. But since he didnt get the greatest winner ever....and since he joined the Marines in his prime during the Korean war...he cant have Cousys legacy. But he did lead his team to the title.

More than we can say for Cousy. Though im sure plenty of people at the time wanted to credit Cousy anyway. Im told it was tough for a guy like Russell to get love in the 50s. Not cousy though. wonder why that could be......

The Answer

[IGotACoolStory]

When ESPN ranked PGs a while back (like 05 or 06), I believe they had Stockton ranked just ahead of Cousy. Year doesn't matter since they both retired by then.

But I will vote Cousy just so people will stop bitching. He should be in the next 3 anyway.
