Top 50 Player Pool

For an updated player pool and vote breakdowns see the link (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ARaI3VCNauULLYL1Yu24HIRY768FYQdip56sp6uRFGk/edit?usp=sharing).

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.

Opening Vote Tally

Allen Iverson - 6 (gonzaldo, Nike D'Antoni, Phoenix, francesco totti, LBJ, Lebron_James)
Willis Reed - 4 (jlip, L. Kizzle, TheCorporation, Honor Boost)
Kevin McHale - 1 (Round Mound)
Clyde Drexler - 1 (Reggie43)

I've made a bunch of threads in the past about how Iverson is underrated but I'll support Willis Reed here. AI is a decent top 50 candidate but it's a little bit early for him IMO. As Kizzle said in the previous thread 1970 Reed actually thoroughly outplayed Unseld and gave both Wilt and rookie Kareem (who was already a beast) a run for their money in the playoffs.

Time to get Russ some votes. Otherwise ISH will vote him out of the top 1000 players.

Westbrook

And then we can concentrate on Walt Clyde Frazier, the real Knicks goat.

I say if we get no more votes in the next few hours you should call it. I think it's going to be difficult for guys to get 10 votes in the rounds going forward.

Yup, you could tell for the last several votes that the overall level of interest is going down. Most of the players people 'care' about are already in.

Interest is still ok. We have 21 votes in. We've been in the mid 20's for the most part since the beginning. The only difference now is there are more players to vote for which spreads out the vote and makes it tougher to call races. Right now is Reed 9 AI 7. I'll give it a bit more time.

Just seem like the votes are more spaced out. The last round had more posts of people arguing than voting. But in any case, looks like Reed has this one in the bag.
