what do you think? changes?

Kobe at 17 :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Lebron at 19 is too high right now, Wade should be higher than him.

Im convinced that you ARE bruce blitz because you keep bringing him up.
Blitz has severe issues.

:blah :sleeping Please stop posting this idiots bullshit. Lebrick-19? Kobe- 17? Jordan- 1? :roll: :roll:

nope. I find him interesting. As much as I may disagree...he is passionate and puts lots of time into researching players. I you account for the bias, some of the stats he puts out are worth at least hearing. But yes, he is crazy.

Kobe at #17?

So Dirk and Kobe are only one place apart!!! This man has opened my eyes, i see the light now.

[QUOTE=bruce blitz]11 Karl Malone [/QUOTE]

Wtf? And lol @ Kobe just behind David Robinson.

worst list ever

my advice is to forget about where Kobe is placed when looking at the list. Everyone knows that bias. Just try to analyze it from that light.

Being a grown man who wears MMA style fight club shirts, with a Frank Sinatra hat ... WITH sunglasses on ... INSIDE

Yea, that's putting it lightly.

isiah at 30 robinson at 16 ewing 32 kg 20 malone 11 frazier 34

Hakeem being greater than Shaq is also laughable.

Oscar greater than Shaq and Duncan? :facepalm

SMH @ Oscar even in the top ten.

:facepalm

I never said I thought it was a good list. I just wanted people to articulate what they thought was wrong with it.

that's what i did i pointed out what i don't agree with
i didn't include kobe cause that's just :facepalm
also dream>shaq

Haha, I just saw he put Neil Johnston at #35, above Pippen at #38. Gotta love Jordan stans bringing Pip down! :facepalm

Bron's too high, Kobe's a few spots too low, Ewing and Pippen should be a bit higher.

I'd also like to see Nique over Pistol Pete.

The other stuff is just small gripes I have. Everyone has their own lists though.

Bird should be higher than magic.

igotgame is the biggest ******* on this board.

kobe should be lower.

Dirk should be higher than Jordan...

[QUOTE=IGOTGAME]n.he is passionate and puts lots of time into researching players.[/QUOTE]

And this is what he comes up with???:facepalm

:roll: :roll:

[B]Hakeem > Bird and Magic

Charles > Karl Malone (Get Real)[/B]

[QUOTE=Round Mound][B]Hakeem > Bird and Magic[/quote]
:facepalm

It's a good thing no one takes Bruce seriously...

[QUOTE=Round Mound][B]Hakeem >[COLOR="DarkGreen"][SIZE="4"] Bird[/SIZE][/COLOR] and Magic

Charles > Karl Malone (Get Real)[/B][/QUOTE]
:no: I ll give you Tragic

With the exception of his bias for Kobe and the overrating of Robertson, his rankings are pretty solid. Dirk and LeBron are somewhere between #20-25 all-time for most people.

It's impossible to make a top 50 list without everyone thinking it sucks. I've never seen a top 50 list ever were people thought it was actually good. They all "sucked"

You don't take exception with Oscar being in the top ten?

Kobe #17
Lebron #19

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[QUOTE=Heavincent]Kobe #17
Lebron #19

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:[/QUOTE]
Maybe that was his sister or cousin in Colorado ...

I just don't get it honestly.

I mean LeBron is top twenty, for sure ...

But two spots down from Bryant?

Really?

:oldlol:

[QUOTE=Samurai Swoosh]You don't take exception with Oscar being in the top ten?[/QUOTE]

I don't because he views him like LeBron - a stat-padding junkie. I should have added his bias for LeBron, but that goes hand in hand with his distaste for Bryant.

[QUOTE=catch24]I don't because he views him like LeBron - a stat-padding junkie.[/QUOTE]
Good point. haha

You think if that were the case though, he'd have Pippen way higher too.

Hell, I could see much more of a case for Lebron being over Oscar than Oscar being top 10.

[QUOTE=ShaqAttack3234]Hell, I could see much more of a case for Lebron being over Oscar than Oscar being top 10.[/QUOTE]
Uh, me too.

:oldlol:[/QUOTE]

There is absolutely no evidence that would put Lebron anywhere near Kobe in terms of career accomplishments. Lebron just isn't even close.

Jason Kidd at #44 is also incredibly stupid. He is a top 25 player at worse.

[QUOTE=ShaqAttack3234]Hell, I could see much more of a case for Lebron being over Oscar than Oscar being top 10.[/QUOTE]
where do you have Jerry West then?

Blitz is like Patton Oswalt in the movie Big Fan.

[QUOTE=magnax1]where do you have Jerry West then?[/QUOTE]

Somewhere in the top 11-15 range. Probably 12. I might put Mikan 11 ignoring the fact that I doubt he could compete in later eras and just including him because his play vs his peers would make him top 10 and how much he changed the game.
