Everyone may post in this thread but only votes from serious contributors will be considered. Not everyone has to write an essay but there should be some justification or explanation and some coherent arguments being presented. I encourage people to be open-minded and willing to adjust their rankings in response to strong evidence. Debate and discussion is encouraged.

[Ryoka Narusawa]

Shaq

[Nike D'Antoni]

I would pick Larry Bird, but seeing it's a race between Shaq-Duncan I will make my choice later. Need some time to think between those two.

Larry's white too, so make sure you're cool with the woke crowd.

[jlip]

Shaq

[Lebron23]

Larry Bird

[MadDog]

I'll go Larry Bird as well

[Thenameless]

Die hard Lakers fan.

Larry Bird.

I don't care that Shaq and Duncan are starting with a big lead, Bird was better.

[Kenny Griffin]

i again vote for moses malone




wake me up when the 12be or 14be threads start.

[1987_Lakers]

Great project so far, can't wait to see Kobe miss the top 10.

[Kenny Griffin]

Great project so far, can't wait to see Kobe miss the top 10.

well i say lebron is top 3 and arguably top 2 right behind Jordan


yes thats right. a kobe fan said that


now you can move on and get a family and do something i failed to do because i was once as obsessed with bringing down another mans legacy as well.

its just a tiny message board bro. we don't matter. don't waste your life like i did

[1987_Lakers]

Waste my life? I've averaged 3 posts a day since I joined. :oldlol:

[Kenny Griffin]

Waste my life? I've averaged 3 posts a day since I joined. :oldlol:

i'l literally say whatever you want me to say if you quit the board and take your life seriously. lebrons the goat. kobe sucks


lebron is 10 times better than kobe


i made all of you so angry over the years and i'm sorry. and ok i believe that you almost never post here and you have a great life and you're amazing. but seriously if you can even take me seriously and yourself seriously for one moment. just please stop devoting your life to hatred of another man. it takes priority and its not healthy.


your priorities should be finding a great career to get a great woman and starting a family. however hard your working now. double it. you can still be great at something. you can still achieve what i didn't

trash me all you wan't. take whatever frustration you have out on me. and i'l agree with all of it and not bring you guys or your idol down ever again

the time for healing is now. this place is cancer. please don't repeat my mistakes

and i didn't spend a ton of time on here either. but i was here almost every day. i was checking threads. and i know you have at least one alt you use to go on long rants. you exposed it before saying you drove me off the board remember. and yes i was overwhelmed. you're so good at debating because you have the passion i once had. just direct that energy to achieving your own success instead of living through lebrons


lebrons better than jordan and kobe is barely 15th all time! he will continue to fall too! its agreed. you have it in writing. goodnight buddy.

I'm not that Saintzfury poster like you claim. :oldlol:

But thanks for admitting Kobe is inferior to LeBron.

[Kenny Griffin]

ok this is your only account

is there anything else you need me to say?

and yes kobe is vastly inferior to lebron

i think its stupid that anyone has him on lebrons level or higher. see... no reason to hold in that hate now. i am your scalp. you drove me into submission with your amazing debate powers and now you can move on

no need for ISH now. no need to ever spend time debating kobe fans or lebron haters. whos really left anyway.

3ball? don't waste your time with him or jordan. lebrons the goat bro

[Gudo]

I will go with Larry. It's hard to mention Magic and not have Bird in the same breath.

[Nowitness]

Tim Duncan.

Won 4 titles without a teammate making an All-NBA Team. Magic did it twice but played when there were only 2 All-NBA teams. No other player has done it more than once.
Top 3 longevity (was an MVP candidate as a rookie and was making All-NBA teams at 39).
Top 3 defender ever alongisde Russell and Hakeem.
Best player on 4 title teams.
2003 is either the biggest, or second biggest carry job ever. (Still to this day most Win Shares and highest VORP for a playoff run).
Most All-Defensive teams by a hefty margin (3).
Tied 2nd most All-NBA teams (15).
Won titles as the best, or second best player in 3 different decade.
Played in the golden era of PFs (Malone/Barkley/Dirk/KG) and came out clearly on top.
Per 100 statistics, have him as good a scorer as Bird. Had he played on faster teams and cared about stats, he'd have averaged 25+ consistently.

Current Vote Tally

Shaquille O'Neal - 12 (1987_Lakers, Jasper, dankok8, SouBeachTalents, RRR3, jlip, Honor Boost, Bankaii, Overdrive, Reggie43, Ryoka Narusawa, jlip)
Tim Duncan - 12 (8Ball, Jasper, Manny98, Magic is Magic, Nowitness, ELITEpower23, SaintzFury13, DevBooker'sMask, nayte, Dbrog, TheCorporation, Nowitness)
Larry Bird - 6 (Wally450, colts19, Lebron23, MadDog, Thenameless, Gudo)
Moses Malone - 1 (Kenny Griffin)

[dankok8]

Honestly Bird's longevity is terrible. He had five prime seasons from 1984 to 1988 plus five more non-prime all-star seasons. Compare this to someone like Shaq who had ten prime seasons plus six more non-prime all-star seasons. It's not that I don't value Bird's peak. Quite on the contrary but his longevity is just too terrible to put over Shaq and Duncan and probably Hakeem and Kobe as well. I'm not even big on longevity but when someone's prime is half as long that is an issue.

[Airupthere]

Choosing between TD and Shaq. Duncan has longevity but Shaq has a much meaner peak and still has decent longevity. I go with Shaq then.
