Not a bad list all things considered. Giannis will jump KD and Wade when his career is done. Jokic will probably move up a spot or two. Steph and Dray could both move up if they somehow find a way to contend one last time. Markannen trade...

KG too high. I’d have the three below him over him.

Shaq too low.

I'm not going to say it's an awful list but it is a bad one.

Dirk Nowitzki should be ahead of Shaq

Carmello Anthony is top ten all-time in points...he belongs on the list

Kwahi, Giannis, CPIII, and Jokic should all be roughly together in rankings

Wade wasn't better than Iverson
Nash wasn't better than Kidd
Draymond wasn't better than Klay
Allen wasn't better than Pierce (and a bunch of other guys from his generation)

17.Manu Ginobili
18.Allen Iverson
19.Anthony Davis
20.Ray Allen
21.Tony Parker
22.Draymond Green
23.Russell Westbrook
24.Pau Gasol
25.Luka Doncic

Jimmy Butler, Tracy Mcgrady, Dwight Howard, Paul Pierce, Damian Lillard and Carmello would make the list for me.
1-5 - Lebron, Kobe, Duncan, Steph, Dirk
5-10 - Shaq, KG, Giannis, Kidd, Jokic
11-15 - CPIII, Kwahi, Durant, Iverson, Wade
16-20 - Harden, Nash, Butler, Pierce, Carmello
21-25 - Luka, Howard, MCGrady, Dame, Gasol
