:cheers:

PS: Clearly Dr.J isn't meant to be included as one of the Era/Decade Leading/Defining Individuals. Just happened to defend him.

I like that there isn't Kobe also. Very good touch moe.

[BasedTom]

Is Lebron doing that supposedly anti-semitic gesture that got those French players in trouble a while back?

Only 2 players per era. Kobe and Wade didn't make the cut. Those spots belong to Duncan and Shaq, and it's not even debatable.

No he's just brushing Kobe's soul off his shoulder

[20Four]

OP is a kobe hater

[pastis]

The picture is accurate. Reality is a Kobe hater

I just realized all 9 from the Pictures are in the Top 10... They built the Top 9 to be exact.
1960's: Wilt/Russell
1970's: Kareem
1980's: Magic/Bird
1990's: Jordan
2000's: Duncan/Shaq
2010's: LeBron

The 10th Spot still belongs to Hakeem, 1990's.

Kobe was the reason that collage was made.

Also, why should I appreciate a PED user who has to collude with two other superstars so he can cruise to easy titles?

LeBron = weak sauce

[Rocketswin2013]

No Moses "no defense" Malone in the picture for the 70's . :applause:

Good point. I have Hakeem over Lebron though.

Yeah definitely an Option... I mean, then you got the exact Top 10.
Also kind of shutting the myth of "weak era", Individually. Every Era has one Top 10 Guy, so far.
Hakeem was simply overshadowed by the GOAT, which makes it hard to include him right there with Mike... while the others were pretty close.

[BasedTom]

I'm not a fan of comparing between eras. People try to discredit Wilt and Russel's achievements because of the "weak era" and "6ft tall white guys" but how is it their fault that they weren't born later?

I like to use this GOAT Ladder. I think all NBA fans regardless of their fan alignment can agree that it's a pretty good ranking of players in NBA history for their accomplishments, unique skills and legacy. Though of course there's room for debate and disagreement.

LeBron should be in GOAt tier instead of Bird or Hakeem.
Hakeem si way overrated.
8 first round exits and lebron has already owned him accomplishment wise at age 29:applause: :applause:
but nice pic

It's from a few years ago, so it's not really up to date. You can tell by the fact that they used Blake's dunk contest picture and how Rose isn't in tragic tier.

not very accurate but still nice:applause:

[ArbitraryWater]

Also, it's exactly 5 for each tier.... so CLEARLY thats not a coincedence, but he forced himsef to give out 5... it really isn't done in tiers. Otherwise you'd have 3 here, 5 there, 4, 7, etc... he simply told himself to include 5 for each tier, that's doing it wrong... That's exactly the opposite of tier logic. To ignore those fancy numbers, and simply base it off of level... I doubt it's 5 every time on accident.

[moe94]

very weird... and wrong, imo.

I also made it while on 4chan. :coleman: :oldlol:

loooool forreall? lmfaoo prolly 90% of the gifs/memes I know, all originally stem from you :lol

Make some for movies too... you know, like the holy grail of mafia moves :rockon:

Or actors, or some ish

[moe94]

The thing started like half as big as it was and after a bunch of threads on /sp/, I kept changing it due to complaints and additions. Admittedly, it was aesthetics first and let's be real, no one will ever agree with any tier list.

If you have a list you like, I can make it PS to look good. I can make it, but you have to do the thinking.

[Black Mamba's B]

Another troll thread

[imdaman99]

So someone with 5 rings who has more than the 2 pictured in the 2000s, is not on there :biggums:

I find it hilarious that you included a picture of them 2 together, meanwhile it was Kobe who would dominate the series between them :bowdown:

[Relinquish]

Another troll thread

Not sure what part of this thread is trolling? Can you clue me in?

[bagelred]

I'd rank this thread #4 on threads asking us to not compare things. How do you rank it?

[Kiddlovesnets]

I agree with the OP, people keep talking about how 60s/70s were weak and how today's era is weak, why cant we just settle down and enjoy basketball?

[KD35willbeGOAT]

Is Lebron doing that supposedly anti-semitic gesture that got those French players in trouble a while back?

Looks like he's just fixing his blouse :confusedshrug:

[Jailblazers7]

How is Dr. J not an era defining player? Have you ever read about how guys from that generation (and people who grew up watching him) talked about the guy?

You really think it would be necessary to rank Dr. J among the others? Did I say he sucked? No... Did he "define" Basketball? Yeah, did he define it to the extreme extent that the others did? No.... That's all what this is about...

You never seen Rankings like this? I have, and I have never seen the Doc included for the 1970's... It was always Kareem only. You would set Erving right there next to Kareem, you telling me? Someone who isn't "even" Top 15 All Time?
