Wasnt Peja 6'10?
or David West?

Duncan cant be top10........just look at his FT% over the years just all over the place. For some1 called Big Fundamental he was never fundamentally sound as a shooter

1. Dirk
2. Durant
3. KG
4. Aldridge
5. Bosh
6. Zach Randolph or David West (the list gets shaky here and up to opinion).
7. Horace (haven't watched much)
8. Anthony Davis
9. Pau Gasol
10. Horry (made 1.5, 2.0, and 2.6 tres on 38%, 40%, 40% in the playoffs and won 2 chips out of those 3 years).
*If Peja is a legit 6'10 he'd be at the top 3 of this list.

Peja was 6'9"

Same with Bird and Horry. Otherwise, they'd all be in the top 5.

you do realize the card brand is "topps" right?

theyre the most respected trading card in basketball

theyve partnered with the nba for decades ....and thats where they get their information


kobe bryants best rookie card = topps chrome refractor



you dont end up making cards worth 10 grand by not being reputable

Bird wasn't 6'10

Pretty close to it (w/o shoes). Today he'd probably be listed as 6'10 or 6'11.

Peja Stojakovic
Ryan Anderson
Dirk Nowitzki
Andrea Bargnani
Danilo Gallinari
Vlad Radmanovic
Kevin Garnett
Chris Bosh



I probably messed up every single one their f*cked up foreigner names but that's my list

Must be a lot of youngsters on here cause I saw Detlef Shremph only mentioned once and Patrick Ewing not mentioned at all.

If Bird is considered 6'10, then the Mt. Rushmore for this all time is Bird, McAdoo, Dirk, and Durant. All four redefined the SF (Bird and Durant), PF (young Bird, McAdoo, Dirk), and C (McAdoo) with their shooting. I didn't see peak McAdoo but I wanted to give him some props.

But when it comes to guys I've actually seen at their best, I gotta roll with Bird, Durant, Dirk, and Peja. All four could dominate games with the three ball, deep midrange, and midrange shooting. All were a threat to be 50-40-90 kind of shooter. I think that separates them from great midrange guys like KG, LMA, Bosh, etc.

Bird wasn't 6'10

Either:

Bird is 6'10 and Magic really was 6'9"

or

Bird is 6'9" and Magic really was 6'8" maybe even 6'7"'

Choose...

This thread makes you realize how special Dirk was because if you asked this question for 7'0" or taller, you would only have one answer.
