I disagree with the order but there is no question you included all of the correct players. :applause:

You wanted us to rate your top 10, it's so bad it should be reported.

How about putting Lebron over a 6-time champion & a 6-time MVP?

[FrobeShaw]

he's the last in a top 10

I guess the fact that he was even on there was too much :roll:

Without a rookie Magic Johnson, Kareem's legacy would look vastly different. He's the most overrated player in the NBA history and it's not even close.

[Smook A.]

Look up his stats and achievements.

Also, go on YouTube and look at his highlights. Easily a Top 10 player of all time.

[Pushxx]

Every player's legacy looks vastly different if you take away members of their teams. That makes no sense. You could say that about every player.

[MichaelCorleone]

Here's the number (numbers don't lie):

MJ: 6 FMVPs out of 6 rings

Lebron: 2 FMVPs out of 2 rings

Kareem: 2 FMVPs out of 6 rings (lmao:lol )

Kareem has ONLY 2 FMVP out of his 6 rings, he underachieved in his career.

[fiddy]

Reported for being stupid?

:biggums:
Yup

[ImKobe]

Without a rookie Magic Johnson, Kareem's legacy would look vastly different. He's the most overrated player in the NBA history and it's not even close.

Carried Oscar Robertson to an NBA championship, had a title, a finals MVP & 5 MVPs without Magic, won a regular season and a Finals MVP(at 38 years old!) playing with Magic. 19x all-star, 15x all-NBA team, 11x all-NBA defensive team selections, 4x leader in blocks, all-time leading scorer. Dropped 22 and 7 with 2.5 bpg against arguably the greatest Celtics squad ever in 1987, at 40 years old. Overrated my ass, he barely gets mentioned.

[Akrazotile]

Without a rookie Magic Johnson, Kareem's legacy would look vastly different. He's the most overrated player in the NBA history and it's not even close.

I would argue that if you took away Magic from Kareem you would still have a much better chance of winning than if you took away Shaq or Pau from Kobe.

[MichaelCorleone]

Yup
I have an actual proof as to why Kareem is so overrated. It's not stupid, it's smart even.

2 FMVPs out of 6 rings, he's not that good bro.:confusedshrug:

I suppose you honestly believed that everyone here would agree 100% with your list?

[Audio One]

If Hakeem's a top-10 player, than Elgin Baylor's the GOAT

If Hakeem's a top-10 player, so is Kevin Garnett, Isiah Thomas, Karl Malone

If not making it past the first round more than half your career makes you a top-10 player, than Chris Paul's a GOAT PG candidate

If highlights and fancy skills equate to a top-10 career, than Tracy McGrady > Earvin Johnson

I love the logic this website uses :applause:

[MichaelCorleone]

At the end of the day, we don't count rings (Horry has 7 so...), we count FMVPs.

FMVP >>>> rings

MJ has 6

Shaq has 3

Magic has 3

Lebron has 2

Hakeem has 2

Kareem, who should have more, has only 2. For all the greatest of all time talk, he really underachieve in the FMVP department. Skyhook one-trick-pony.

[ImKobe]

Because he should have won every Finals MVP playing with young/prime Magic while he was way out of his prime? Are you serious? Dropping 22 and 7 against 1987 Celtics at 40 years old is nothing because he didn't win a Finals MVP at that age?

Years from now, NOBODY will ever care to look up the stats, they'll just see Kareem has 2 FMVPs out of 6 rings and like me, assumes he's not that great of a player.

2 FMVPs out of 6 championships is just :facepalm .

hakeem won two titles as the clear cut best player and dragged a team without any other all-nba players to a championship

in a single year, he won DPOTY, MVP and finals MVP

he easily peaked higher than all the names in bold

he is one of the greatest shot blockers and defenders of all time if not the best

Yours is actually suprisingly good. I've got:

1-MJ
2-Kareem
3-Shaq (if only for his insanely dominant peak)
4-Bird
5-Magic
6-Russell
7-Lebron
8-Duncan
9-Hakeem
10-Wilt

We're not that far off on most of these. I fully expect Lebron to break into the top 3 by the time he's done. Durant will be a top ten player as well in my opinion.

And if we're gonna rank players using your arbitrary criteria, Walton's a top-10 player as well

When comparing Duncan and Garnett, people seriously overlook how much Duncan had to put into his team.

I mean, Tim played more postseason minutes from '03-'05 (2295) than Garnett did his entire Minnesota career (2003).

You can list KG's versatile skillet (which is more versatile than Duncan's), but at the end of the day Duncan impacts the game more than Garnett, and he's a much more fitting leader for a franchise :confusedshrug:

Lebron's numbers would amount to, taking into account inflation of stats, 50/9/9 in the 60s and that's only his averages.

Nope. Old Wilt played against prime Kareem and held his own beating Kareem's team in the playoffs and winning FMVP in 1972. And Kareem won his last MVP in 1980, the rookie season for Magic and Larry. Larry would later on beat MJ in the playoffs three years in a row.

Lebron averaged 22 and 18 ppg for half his Finals :oldlol:
