#41 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops

[Fudge]

Not before Kidd, GP, Arizin, Hayes, Unseld, Wilkins, Gervin, Cunningham, ect.

Yo Kizzle don't forget about Tracy McGrady as well.

Anyway, I vote for Payton.

[JoshCoward]

Kidd. No way is Pierce ahead of Kidd. Remember the Nets - Boston series back when both were in their prime?

[L.Kizzle]

How is Pierce a better small forward than Wilkins?

Cause Stone Cold Said So

[Freedom Kid7]

Gogogo Jason Kidd. Longevity, vision, rebounding, defense and all play a big part in this.

E. Hayes

[Boston C's]

Yes, he deserves to be over all of them. The only one I wouldn't mind making it over him is GP and Unseld. Pierce was better than the rest.

paul pierce is one of my favorite players of all time but I just dont see him above all of those guys...to me hes in the 55-60 range...but if he gets voted in by ish ill be ecstatic...i mean hell iverson got voted in at 36

[RaininTwos]

Kidd

[G.O.A.T]

Paul Pierce, he should have been voted above Iverson. He is at the very least a top 50 player of all-time, it's time he gets his recognition.

I consider Iverson to be in a tier above Pierce. He was unquestionably a better player at his peak. Pierce was certainly never a top five player and rarely was he even in the top ten for any given season. I consider him top ten from 2002-04 and again in 2008, but no other seasons.

Iverson, Kidd an Payton (all a tier above Pierce in my mind) were all top ten at least 6-7 seasons and all peaked as top four players in at least one season.

As franchise players all of those other guys won more playoff series than Pierce and got their teams to the playoffs more often. Their stats were as good or better in most categories and they have more impressive and complete individual resumes based on accolades and awards

Why Hayes over Unseld?

You can quit pretending to be a Celtics fan now. Everyone already knows you are only a Celtics fan because you hopped on Ray's *******s because the Sonics were stolen.

[Legends66NBA7]

Paul Arizin just because his stats look awesome and I feel like being different

Heh, I thought I would be the first to mention Arizin, but it's good to see him get some love. I dont' see him this hight but Top 50-60 range seems legit, just going off the top off my head here.

Other 40's-50's players that are still out there and probably should make the Top 100 ISH list:

Neil Johnston, Bill Sharman, Ed Macauley, Joe Fulks, George Yardley, Tom Heinshon, etc..
