[Im Still Ballin]

Durant too high; he should be below Curry. Duncan too low. O'Neal should be above Kobe.

[SouBeachTalents]

Tbh, that's probably the most respectable list I've ever seen :lol No list is perfect, so the rankings I think were truly bad

Guys ranked way too high: Baylor, Iverson, Melo, Dame, Unseld, Bosh

Guys ranked way too low: Frazier, Reed, Dwight, Luka, McGrady

And I feel like Butler & PG were shafted

[Im Still Ballin]

Switch Duncan and Kobe, and KD with Oscar.

[jayfan]

Karl Malone 11 spots above Charles Barkley is ridiculous. Affects overall list credibility.

11 thousand more points will do that for you.

[jayfan]

11 thousand more points will do that for you.

13 thousand more, actually. And 403 more games played.


Lazy list.

[L.Kizzle]

Whoever voted for Robert Horry needs to be revealed.
Never got an All-NBA vote, but gets a vote for a top 79 player of All-Time.

Nate Thurmond, Jimmy Butler, Dennis Johnson,

That's crazy they didn't make the cut

But there two orders are downright criminal...

70 Kyrie Irving
72 Luka Doncic

I can understand Kyrie and Doncic being ranked over Tiny and Pistol but Dame and Ray...and saying Russ the guy that no team wanted after 30.

And then these just really insult me..

9 Shaquille O'Neal over 20 Julius Erving
12 Kevin Durant over 18 Jerry West
28 Scottie Pippen pver 47 George Mikan
36 Steve Nash over 59 Clyde Frazier

[Nowoco]

22 Giannis Antetokounmpo
23 Nikola Jokic
24 Dwyane Wade

No way is Wade below those two as it stands right now.

[SouBeachTalents]

Seriously bro, "no way" :lol

What's this ironclad argument over them besides 2nd option rings.

[Nowoco]

Nothings "ironclad", its just a bunch of douchebags talking shit online. However if Jokic and Giannis didnt play another NBA game from now, I'd have Wade over both of them all-time. More rings, more iconic moments, better Finals run, much better to watch etc.

Completely offensive to deadname the GOAT

[warriorfan]

Durant too high; he should be below Curry. Duncan too low. O'Neal should be above Kobe.

This

and obviously lbj and jordan

[bison]

Right off the bat, they immediately tell you that the list is a joke. No need to further scroll down.

My thoughts exactly.

[John8204]

Sam Jones, Hal Greer and Dave Bing should probably be over Pistol and Earl Monroe. They didn't even make the list.

Maravich was the top SG for like 5 years in the league so I would have him in my top fifty even if he didn't have team success. Bing only makes these lists because of all the good he did for the guys post career. Jones and Greer should belong over Monroe

[fsvr54]

Lebron being first invalidates the list. He should be 6th or 7th. KD is too high and Giannis, zero ball skills, is WAYYY too high

[1987_Lakers]

Few observations, more so in the 30-79 spots

Lillard over Walt Frazier is a joke

Worthy over guys like Carmelo, Pierce, McHale, McAdoo seems wrong

Dwight Howard should be ranked ahead of Parish & Gasol

If Rodman is on the list, so should Draymond

Would knock down Iverson a few spots

But overall, not a bad list compared to others.

I feel like Iverson, Lillard, & Worthy were rated way too high.

Walt Frazier & Dwight should move up some spots.

[Phoenix]

Is it me, or has Magic started creeping up into top 4 on more of these lists recently? Seems like a decade or so ago he was more like 6-7th. I also feel like there aren't 3 spots between Magic and Bird. Many( myself included) feel Bird was the better peak performer, Magic mostly overtaking him after Larry's back injury in 88. Or they use the finals record as a tie-breaker in Magic's favor. I don't know...it just feels wrong to have them separated by 3 spots regardless of who you rank higher. They're too intrinsically tied to each other's careers for their rankings to not be neck and neck ( if Bird is 7th than Magic is 6th).
