So apparently Duncan managed to edge out LeBron here, whereas on their "Top 50" list that was released just a few hours earlier, Duncan is barely top 10 and LeBron is placed @ #5 ... ?

Makes sense.

It's because each list was written by a different person.

Thus why these lists are a joke and its hilarious to see LeBron Stans falling all over themselves and patting themselves in the back. Kind of sad, really. Since they know this will be the only "winning" the LeBron fam will be doing in the foreseeable future. :oldlol:

I have no problem with this list. Wade and Bron are both top 5 :applause: And I can understand Duncan being 1, incredible consistency on both sides of the floor

Calling each list "Sports Illustrated" is just really confusing then.

Not like I took either seriously, but at least this one is pretty sensible.

I think the variety in these lists might actually be a good thing upon thinking about it. Every list has different orders and almost everyone leaves happy with at least one of them (except maybe Kobe fans)

I don't see how a Kobe fan could be any more mad at these lists than a Wade fan. Kobe is probably 11-14th of all time. Both lists placed him at 12.

Whereas Wade should be around 20th. These lists put him at an average of 30. And one of them had him behind Durant, when he's basically played at a similar level as Durant for twice as long.

hey look! finally a list where kobe isn't 12th.:oldlol:

Not really, considering one list is based on "all time" where as this thread's list is based on players from just the last 20yrs.

So Tim Duncan > Lebron in the past 20 years, but is below him in an all time ranking?

lol does that even make sense to you?

yeah, you're right. I was looking at it the wrong way.

[sd3035]

These lists are for fun people, it would be the same as people on inside hoops making a list. They don't mean anything, no need to get worked up lol

[Nash]

still behind lebron even though Lebron has participated for only 13 of those 20 years.
