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

Anthony Davis - 6 (OOO, dankok8, kawhileonard2, SouBeachTalents, RRR3, Phoenix)
Dwight Howard - 3 (gonzaldo, Phoenix, TheCorporation)
Dave Cowens - 2 (jlip, L. Kizzle)
Paul Pierce - 2 (fsvr54, 1987_Lakers)
James Worthy - 1 (Reggie43)
Ray Allen - 1 (Manny98)
Damian Lillard - 1 (blazers32)

[LBJ]

Somebody throw a name. I dont think DAVIS deserves it. But so many choices.

[LBJ]

Dave Cowens

[Go Getter]

Dominique Wilkins

[LBJ]

I'll switch to Dominique Wilkins

[RRR3]

Lmao Walton what a joke this list is so bad now. Switch my vote to T-Mac. **** it.

[Round Mound]

Paul Pierce.

[1987_Lakers]

Pierce

[LBJ]

I am thinking of switching to Pierce. For now, I want to keep Dominique Wilkins, depending on who the last two battle.

[SouBeachTalents]

Took till the 48th spot to get a truly bad pick, not bad for this place I guess :lol I'll go Nique here

[HBK_Kliq_2]

I have a hard time seeing any argument of Pierce over Manu.

Manu has the better single season playoff run in 2005

Manu has more titles

What does Pierce have? 1 extra all nba 2nd team selection i guess

[francesco totti]

Dominique Wilkins

[Nike D'Antoni]

Anthony Davis - 4 (OOO, dankok8, kawhileonard2, Phoenix)
Paul Pierce - 4 (fsvr54, 1987_Lakers, Round Mound, Nike D'Antoni)
Dominique Wilkins - 4 ( GO getter, LBJ, SouBeachTalents, Francesco Totti)
Dwight Howard - 3 (gonzaldo, Phoenix, TheCorporation)
Dave Cowens - 2 (jlip, L. Kizzle)
James Worthy - 1 (Reggie43)
Ray Allen - 1 (Manny98)
Damian Lillard - 1 (blazers32)
Tracy Mcgrady - 1 ( RRR3 )

I am giving it to Paul Pierce.

[fsvr54]

I guess my vote from the previous poll counts here, Mr clutch city Paul Pierce

[iamgine]

Nikola Jokic deserves a mention. What's a 'never even close to sniffing MVP' Paul Pierce doing here? Clearly a much inferior player.

[Airupthere]

I will go with paul pierce

[ELITEpower23]

Nikola Jokic deserves a mention. What's a 'never even close to sniffing MVP' Paul Pierce doing here? Clearly a much inferior player.

+1

I will vote for Dwigt Howard

[Lebron_James]

Dwigt Howard

[Blazers32]

Make sure my vote counts , will go Dominique Wilkins.

[Naero]

It's washy at this point in the rankings, but I'll vote for Dominique Wilkins. Out of all the still-unranked players, he's probably the best to never win an MVP (runner-up in 1986), the most prolific scorer, best ringless player, and the best Small Forward.

Some might hold his relatively unstoried postseason career against him, having won only three playoffs series, but how blameable is he for that? It's not as if he faltered in that realm; it's more so that his prime coincided with the Golden Age of the NBA wherein he had the late-Eighties and early-Nineties Eastern gauntlet to contend with (Bucks, Celtics, Pistons, and Bulls). Not to mention, he's probably the only household name on those Hawks teams to today's ahistorical fans.

He just needed hardware—or even just a Finals appearance—to immortalize himself as an ATG, and that nonachievement is more due to circumstances than his ability as a player.

[colts19]

I'll go with Dominique Wilkins. Thinking maybe Cowens next but not sure yet.

[Honor Boost]

Dave Cowens

[Nike D'Antoni]

Anthony Davis - 4 (OOO, dankok8, kawhileonard2, Phoenix)
Dave Cowens - 3 (jlip, L. Kizzle,Honor Boost)
James Worthy - 1 (Reggie43)
Ray Allen - 1 (Manny98)
Tracy Mcgrady - 1 ( RRR3 )
