[SpecialQue]

Shaquille O'neal or Kareem Abdul Jabbar


I'm just going to focus on this one. Two unstoppable players. Shaq at his peak is pretty much going to destroy anyone, but you've got a handful of years of that, plus a bad attitude that alienates teammates. Kareem's got an unstoppable move and had insane longevity in the league, but could also be apathetic at times and not give it his all.

If we're going for career, it's Kareem. At their peaks with both players fired up? Fvcking Christ. I want to say Shaq, but Kareem was all around the better player. It's like The Mountain vs. The Red Viper. You don't want to fvck with either of them, and you can't go wrong with backing one over the other. Based on my personal preference, I'm sticking with Kareem, but that's some Sophie's Choice shit right there.

[SHAQisGOAT]

Dirk Nowitzki or Kevin Garnett (not an easy choice by any means)

Tim Duncan or Hakeem Olajuwon (I can't go against Timmy's longevity on this one, plus their peak is pretty close although I'd roll with Hakeem there)

Bill Russell or Wilt Chamberlain (strictly for peak I would've picked Wilt)

Larry Bird or LeBron James (basing this on peaks as overall players mostly, Larry gets the edge there)

Julius Erving or Kevin Durant (at least at this point, still close and I'll probably change it down the road)

Dominique Wilkins or Carmelo Anthony

Paul Pierce or James Worthy

Kobe Bryant or Jerry West (can't go wrong with either though)

Karl Malone or Charles Barkley (extremely close)

John Stockton or Isiah Thomas (tough choice too)

Steve Nash or Jason Kidd (another very tough choice)

Ray Allen or Vince Carter (probably due to longevity)

Scottie Pippen or Dwyane Wade

Shaquille O'neal or Kareem Abdul Jabbar (both had top5 peaks but Kareem just better longevity and work ethic so I gotta roll with him, strictly for peaks I would've picked Shaq in a very close race)

David Robinson or Patrick Ewing (Pat was slowed down by injuries though, and I'd probably still pick for the playoffs lol)

Chris Paul or Garry Payton (tough af)

Dwight Howard or Alonzo Mourning

Blake Griffin or Amare Stoudemire

This is factoring in injuries, but not factoring in the coaches/support the players have had. Basing the list on who I would rather have on my team, assuming the supporting cast and coach is the same for all of them.

Some really hard ones. Really wanted to go Blake over Amare but prime Amare was a better shotblocker and I think he had a second gear that Blake hasn't shown. Blake has better ball skills but Amare just had a beast mode that he would turn on (ask Tim Duncan).

The most surprising for me has got to be Barkley's margin over Malone. I've always felt Charles was better but I got the feeling that the consensus was in favor of Malone. Pleasantly surprised.

I considered that but I'm pretty sure everybody would take Magic. Magic and Michael really don't have a legitimate All-Time rival at their positions.

I also wanted to do Rose vs Westbrook but I figured everybody would take Westbrook cause of the knee.

There is extremely limited footage on Wilt/Russell as well. Are you saying we should completely ignore them when discussing all-time players?
