[Fudge]

I'd have LeBron just ahead of Iverson and Garnett, but rightfully behind the first three.

I know people like to hate on LeBron, but Iverson over James? Really? 4 MVPs to 1. 2 championships to none. 4 Finals to 1. Also, are we expected to exclude 1999 and earlier? If so, that hurts Iverson more.

Just a minor correction here. It's 5 Finals to 1.

1] Timothy Duncan

4] LeBron James
5] Dirk Nowitzki
6] Kevin Garnett
7] Jason Kidd
8] Allen Iverson
9] Dwyane Wade
10] Elton Brand: D

Ok, ok. #10 is tough since T-Mac and Melo were both spectacular but neither have the achievements. Nash has two MVPs but faltered in the post season. Chris Paul has the stats but doesn't have the metals. I think I'll just give the Coward the 10th spot for leading a team to the finals.

Nash was amazing in the postseason. He did not win a championship is what you mean to say. He was phenomenal in the playoffs and raised his game every year they contended.

anybody with more rings then lebron should be above lebron period..

I love how D wade has more rings then bron i really do.... lol

[Inferno]

Duncan, Shaq, Kobe, and LeBron are top 4, idk and don't really care for the order :confusedshrug: IMO there should be a distinction between best (looking at stats and actual ability) and greatest (mix of stats and accolades).

LOL I love how 'peak' on here has become synonymous with this borderline-racist idea of white players seemingly never being able to attain the level of their black counterparts.
