NBA Mount Rushmore

[DoctorP]

60's - Wilt / Russell / Oscar
70's - Dr. J / Kareem
80's - Magic / Bird
90's - Jordan
00's - LeBron

Is this the cream of the crop? I think it is.

So many other names deserve to be talked about. But this is the Elite. The Gucci brand. The top-shelf in Wal Mart. The brand that is most likely overrated but no one gives a shit and mindlessley follow anyways.

[warriorfan]

Russell Bird Magic Jordan Kobe

[Cleverness]

"Mount Rushmore"

[DoctorP]

Hmm.. Wilt or Russell??

After further simplifying Ill pick Wilt over Russell. 100 pt game trumps all scoring outputs.

60's - Wilt / Oscar
70's - Dr. J / Kareem
80's - Magic / Bird
90's - Jordan
00's - LeBron

I'm trying to simplify it to one name per era

[DoctorP]

Dr. J or Kareem? I'm picking Kareem.

60's - Wilt / Oscar
70's - Kareem
80's - Magic / Bird
90's - Jordan
00's - LeBron

[DoctorP]

Magic or Bird? I'm picking Larry. I value shooting.

60's - Wilt / Oscar
70's - Kareem
80's - Bird
90's - Jordan
00's - LeBron

[DoctorP]

Wilt or Oscar? I'm picking Wilt. Westbrook reduced Oscar.

60's - Wilt
70's - Kareem
80's - Bird
90's - Jordan
00's - LeBron

no further reduction seems necessary.

How the hell is LeBron the best player of the 2000s lol. Sure you could easily say he had the best peak of anyone in the 2000s (2009), but he also didn't play in 00, 01, 02 or 03 and wasn't even a superstar in 2004.

LeBron only played 6 years in the 2000s and was only a superstar for 5 of them. Do you understand how decades work?

[SouBeachTalents]

LeBron is definitely not the 00's :lol I'm assuming you mean 2010's. 00's is either Duncan or Kobe

You listed 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and then 00's. Any sane person would infer you are going by decades. You then bizarrely state that the 00's somehow are different than all the other listed time frames and are still ongoing :wtf:

Your 5 on 5 got me thinking, what about the best 5 by position?
Kareem, Bird, Lebron, Jordan, Magic
Wilt, Russell ( move to PF) Dr. J, Oscar , West
Shaq, Duncan, Garnet, Kobe , Nash
Trying to keep players together by era - this is an awesome 15 man roster!

No Kareem?
No.

Larry / Magic saved basketball. Best perimeter players by that time, ever. Better than West, and Oscar.

Kobe, as popular as he was ... was derivative, lesser, cover band version of Jordan.

Russell, dominated the fundamental stages of the game. LeBron has been the greatest player post the Jordan era, I guess. And has carried the league as the biggest name from the late 2000s, until now.

People are out of their minds that LeBron isn't the face of the league for the 00's. He missed the first few years but he grew into a superstar almost overnight and the rightfully attained media attention makes him Mr. Mount Rushmore. Most iconic player of the decade.

The guy was on sports illustrated and had high school games on national television. The hype on him made him the face of the league right away.

lebron is definitely a sensibvle choice even for 00-09

kobe: 5 elite seasons (01, 03, 06-08), 1 great (09), 1 good (02), 1 meh (00), 2 trash (04, 05)
duncan: 3 elite seasons (01-03), 4 great (04-07), 2 meh (08-09)
lebron: 4 elite seasons (06-09), 1 good (05), 1 meh (04)

I mean I get it bro, he made the Finals with a trash ass team at only 22 years old, but there's such a massive disparity in play between '07 & '09, it just doesn't seem right to have them both in the same category

he made the Finals with a trash ass team Yeah you are correct that the Cavs were ¨trash¨ back then in the Playoffs.

Basketball is a game of possessions where the goal is to score as many possessions as possible.

If we take SRS (Simple Rating System that takes into account point differential)

The Spurs were 1st in the league (8.35)

The Cavs were 7th in the league. They posted a SRS of (3.33).

There is a 5.02 difference.

Also the Spurs were 5th and 2nd in terms of Dtg Rtg and Off Reg.

The Cavs were 18th and 4th in Dtg Rtg and Off Reg.

Keep in mind all of the stats shown does NOT include in factors such as pace and age.

If we add context to better improve our understanding the Spurs were facing a young inexperienced Cavs team that didn´t know how to win at the highest level of NBA. The Spurs were a experienced team.

The Cavs were simply not up to par to the Spurs team to win the 2007 Finals.

[Turbo Slayer]

This is a better stat to better determine how much better a team really is. PPP(Points Per Possession)

The Spurs had a 0.91 PPP

The Cavaliers had a 0.82 PPP

This means that the Spurs scored more efficiently on more # of poss.

Bruh Kobe was absolutely elite in 2002, 2004, and even was very good in 2005 before injury. I can tell you weren’t even watching basketball then.

Real breakdown?

I go:
MVP
MVP caliber (Top 2 - 3)
Elite (Top 5 - 8)
All Star (Very Good)
Good
Meh

01 - Elite
02 - Elite
03 - MVP caliber
04 - Elite
05 - All Star
06 - MVP caliber
07 - Elite
08 - MVP
09 - MVP caliber

LeBron

04 - Good
05 - All Star
06 - MVP caliber
07 - All Star
08 - Elite
09 - MVP

His 10’s however?

10 - MVP
11 - MVP caliber
12 - MVP
13 - MVP
14 - MVP caliber
15 - MVP caliber
16 - MVP caliber
17 - MVP caliber
18 - MVP caliber
19 - Bad

Kobe was absolutely the best player of the 00’s followed closely by Duncan.

LeBron was trash last year after his groin injury. Are you kidding me? That was the most hollow gunning for superficial counting stats while having absolutely NO impact on winning, even engaging playoff mode LOL and played no defense. He barely made the cut for his all NBA 3rd team. And probably shouldn’t have even got that. Bill Simmons regrets even doing that. He was a terrible leader.

There's no way you can consider last year "bad" and his rookie year "good" when he was a substantially worse player as a rookie. Shit doesn't make any sense

You’re right for his “standards” and the bar he holds himself to (IE calling himself GOAT) ... and moron sycophants like you, ISH’s multiple sock accounts Simon aka Wheels, aj1987, Smokee117, Nick Wrong, Shannon Sharpe compare him to ... IE the real goat, Jordan ... he wasn’t just bad.

He was steaming hot trash. Absolutely horrendous job at leader ship for a 33 to 34-year-old man. He pouted so much that year it was pathetic.

It was arguably his worst season ever. I’d argue even worse than his rookie year, because at least then he has an excuse. He was an 18-year-old rookie in the last remaining vestiges of a very physical NBA on the perimeter, with difficult scoring climate and minimal pace and space.

He was actually a running joke. All those lack of defense Memes. Luckily his sports agency was linked up with one of the five best players in the NBA, the best big man in the NBA, and they scooped up Anthony Davis this year to entirely flip his reputation around in his final seasons

[RRR3]
