The results are in from the previous vote and Shaquille O'Neal was voted as the 8th best player of all time (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=349818").

Current ISH All-Time List:
1. Michael Jordan - SG (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=348939).
2. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - C (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=348961).
3. Bill Russell - C (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=349040).
4. Wilt Chamberlain - C (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=349136).
5. Tim Duncan - PF/C (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=349216).
6. Larry Bird - SF (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=349328).
7. Magic Johnson - PG (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=349510).
8. Shaquille O'Neal - C (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=349818).

To vote on who you think the 9th best player of all time is, simply comment their name below and I will keep track of the votes in the post directly below this one. Once a consensus is reached (after 30 total votes or one day) we will add that player to the list and move on from there.

Also, any rep would be appreciated :cheers:

My post from the other thread:

:no: No disrespect intended OP, but this is russwest0's project. Don't do him like that.

Just a note though, it's a disgrace that not only has Hakeem not been voted in yet (which isn't a huge deal, since momentum is everything in these polls), but has received limited support (which is much less justifiable). I think we're giving too much weight to accolades if he's dropping this far.

I started watching in 92-93, and Hakeem/Shaq were the best two players I've seen live. I of course missed peak MJ (though I've made a point of watching as much tape of him and other older players as much as I can), but those guys were monsters (and besides, Jordan was already voted in, so he's a nonissue).
Hakeem's my vote. Still one of the most underrated players in league history.

[K Xerxes]

Hakeem gets my vote.

Kobe will probably win this round though.

Hope this one stays official Russ.

I vote for Kobe Bryant.

I think a lot of people will vote against him to spite the Kobetards who have been trying to vote him in since #2, but ultimately, from a basketball and career standpoint. Kobe deserves this spot.

Wow, didn't expect this from you...

And this list is best, not greatest. So accomplishments shouldn't matter as much as how good you were on the court. So, LeBron is my vote.

[fpliii]

Damn, Kobe got a lot of quick votes. What's the count at so far?

[rhowen4]

LeBron

[IMObjective]

Kobe. please stop picking hakeem just because of your burning hatred for kobe. lebron i can understand. And i love hakeem, was one of the most fun to watch.

This is GOAT list, not BOAT list. Accolades should be more heavily weighted.

Check the OP, it says the 9th best player, not the 9th greatest player.

I agree. If best ever was the case then Bill Walton should make top 15.

Op is a moron. Kobe took lead for at start so he ended that in hours, while all other threads kept for days. + alt votes and stuff like voting for ur friends... (only when votes are for kobe) wtf.

[KBaller33]

Why are #9 and #10 threads both open?

Kobe got ahead in #9 voting in first few hours so he ended the voting as soon as he saw that (other threads were kept open to vote for days).

Only reason russ even started this list is because he thought Kobe was gonna make top 5. :lol I'm honestly surprised he didn't, as this is the most pro Kobe non Laker board I have ever seen.
But yeah, as soon as russ noticed Kobe had a slight lead he closed the voting as quickly as possible. Fcking clown.

So if LeBron comes back and wins this thread and wins he #10 thread what is OP going to do?

It's all in fun and Kobe probably would've won anyway (and call me a homer if you will, but I don't mind him making it all that much). Still though...there haven't been 9 players better than Hakeem. SMH at all the nitpicking over accolades. :facepalm

That has nothing to do with anything. The issue was stopping the thread early...so keep the thread going. I didn't want to say it, but it's painfully obvious the only reason you're pushing so hard to start a re-do thread is to have Lebron over Kobe, despite the fact that Kobe was far and away the majority vote in this thread. If an early decision the problem, keep this thread open :confusedshrug:

I honestly do not care if more people on here have Kobe over lebron, because I know the average poster on here isn't all that bright. Everyone is entitled to their opinion none the less.

My issue is I knew russwest0 would **** it up and he did. I know everyone could've continued to post in here but that was never gonna happen, look out on the first page and you'll see about 5 different threads about rankings now. Russwest0 is a troll and today that sad oriental got the response he craves.

By the way don't try and tell me it's "painfully obvious" why I'm acting in such a way, you don't know me from a bar of soap. What is painfully obvious to me is judging by your joining date and post count is you need to get out and live life a bit mate. Have a nice day.

I think it's funny how people on here make it a contest about who is less effected by a dispute. "This shit doesn't effect me in real life". "I'm not mad". "Are you mad?" you wouldn't be arguing if you weren't mad.

oh and just for the record, milkybarkid ... to any outside perspective, it's milbuck who is making you look stupid, not the other way around. just a word of advice, you might wanna just give up on this one.

It amuses me the amount of shit some posters talk, but I largely credit that to the anonymity of being on an Internet forum. At least I hope that is what it is.
If we were to judge people through the lense of stereotyping (which I avoid doing as it can be quite inaccurate) I could say much of the garbage that is said on here is typical of your average ignorant, stubborn American who will not even entertain the idea of viewing things from an altered perspective.

In real life people would shake their heads at you if you spewed unjustified sh*t. Or maybe not depending on how ignorant and classless the people you spend time with are.

Look at that I've just put together a logical response, but dismiss it all by telling me I'm mad. Just remember you only think I'm mad, I know I'm better than you.
