Average ish list is better

Why is Oscar over Russell? Because Peak play > accolades? Then why isn't Garnett higher than Frazier, Pippen, etc?

A list that doesn't include the goat (top 3 AT LEAST) peak in Shaq in the top 10?

New title should read "which one is more facepalm: Shaq at 15 or Dirk at 37"
