    Default The Top 100 Greatest NBA Players Of All Time According To ISH

    TALK ABOUT THE PLAYERS WHO YOU BELIEVE SHOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHER ON THE LIST, ARE WAY TO HIGH ON THE LIST. ALSO TALK DISCUSS PLAYERS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE TOP 100 AND PLAYERS THAT HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING ON THIS LIST.


    Insidehoops has finally gotten through with it’s 100 Greatest Players list in 100 days (well probably 108 days, I wasn‘t here a couple of days and they went on a while longer). There is a bunch of great players, some hall of famers who didn’t even make this list.


    -Gilbert Arenas
    -Rolando Blackman
    -Walter Davis
    -Cliff Hagan
    -Lou Hudson
    -Gus Johnson
    -Marques Johnson
    -Bobby Jones
    -Bill Laimbeer
    -Lafayette Lever
    -Ed MaCauley
    -Jermaine O’Neal
    -Jim Pollard
    -Micheal Ray Richardson
    -Jack Sikma
    -Rudy Tomjanovich
    -Chet Walker
    -Paul Westphal
    Just to name a few…


    Thanks to everyone from insidehoops who participated in these threads over the past 100+ days. I’m pretty sure everyone learned something they didn’t know before after voting and reading up on players.


    #100 - Mark Aguirre. Mark Aguirre played in an era where the small forward was one of the deepest positions. #5, #12, #43, #58, #60, #61, #71 and #83 were all SF’s he had to play nightly. He held his own with the Dallas Mavericks and latter as a Piston. He made all of him NBA All-Star appearances and his highest scoring average (29.5) with Dallas. He was traded for #71 and helped Dallas win back to back titles as he played with #20, #47 and #62.

    I can't believe Jack Skima didn't make it. I'm so ashamed.

    TOO HIGH
    -The first player I think that is slightly too high is David Robinson at #19. He’s listed above possibly 3 players from the same era that were better then him. 5 spots lower around 25 or 26 would have been good.

    -#24 Kobe Bryant, I thought it was a conspiracy when Kobe got 39 votes to be the 24th Greatest player. #26, #27 and #28. Clyde Drexler, Scottie Pippen and Gary Payton. Someone called it “the attack of the 90’s semi-legends.” While Clyde is my favorites player of All-time, he is about 7-8 spots to high, same with Scottie and GP. All three are about 7-8 spots to high. None of those guys should be over Gervin, the other Clyde, Elvin Hayes, ect.

    -Allen Iverson at #31 is also a couple of spots too high.

    -Kevin Johnson at #46 is way, way, way too high on the list …way. I could name tons of players on this list thath should be above him. #47, #48 and #49, Dennis Rodman, Dirk Nowitzki and Steve Nash are about 5 spots high. They should be in the early 50’s.

    -#52 and #53, Pete Maravich and T-Mac are slightly high on the list. #62 and #63, Joe Dumars and Bill Sharman are too high.
    -#75, #77 and #79 … Vince Carter, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce are all at least 10-12 spots too high. Webber, Mullin, DJ, Grant Hill, ect are all better
    -#95, Mel Daniels should have been a tad bit higher. Two MVP’s, Three Titles …



    TOO LOW
    -George Gervin is the first player I thought too be too low at #34. AI,HP, Clyde, ect shouldn’t be above ‘Ice Man’

    -Dave DeBuscherre is too low on the list at #67.

    -#78 Dennis Johnson is lower then he should be. Ray Allen, Vince Carter, over DJ, ha.

    -#82 and #83, former teammates Webber and Mullin are to low. Paul Pierce has a better career then these two guy, yeah right.

    -#93 and 94, George McGinnis and Tim Hardaway are to low. KJ #46 and Timmy #94, LOL. Guys played in the same era and where not that far apart. Hell, some would say Timmy is better.



    WHY?
    #97 Tom Chambers shouldn’t even be on this 100 Greatest List.

    TOO HIGH

    #46. Kevin Johnson - Honestly, this high? No, KJ is good but not good enough for the top 50. Charles Barkley played with both KJ and Maurice Cheeks, and he said Cheeks was the best point guard he ever played with, and Cheeks is way down at #98!! Ridiculous that KJ is this high!

    #47. Dennis Rodman - Probably the worst selection of the entire list. Yes, he owns rebounding titles, but he is just not as good as some people who didn't even make this list!

    #53. Tracy McGrady - Not getting past the first round, he doesn't deserve to be this high... And yes, I am a T-Mac fan.

    #92. Tommy Heinsohn - Not good enough to be in the top 100.

    #99. Ben Wallace - I'm a Ben Wallace fan, don't get me wrong, but I think he just hasn't done it throughout his career or enough to warrant a top 100 spot. I could see other guys taking his place in the top 100. Wallace has been in the league since 1996, but only in 2002 did he really start playing well.

    TOO LOW

    #49. Steve Nash - Two MVP's and a few trips to the Conference Finals warrant more than the #49 spot.

    #71. Adrian Dantley - underrated once again!

    #85. Mitch Richmond - One of the most underrated players in the history of the National Basketball Association. Richmond was a sensational scorer, and played exceptionally for numerous years throughout his career.


    WHO SHOULD HAVE MADE THE LIST

    Glen Rice
    Larry Johnson
    Bill Laimbeer

    I still struggle with the idea of Robert Parrish at #56, Dikembe Mutombo at #80 but Dan Issel at #86.

    I'd have both Willis Reed and Dave Cowens in the late teens low twentys. In with Isiah. I think in clumps that the list is pretty good.

    I'd also have Dennis Johnson way higher.


    It was a monumental achievement on your behalf. Nice work.

    Mark Aguirre is one of the most underrated player in the History of the NBA and one of the best scorer in the 1980's. I think he is also the 2nd best player to ever played in a Dallas Mavericks Franchise.

    In 1986–87 and 1987–88 he made the All-Star Team and averaged 25.7 and 25.1 points, respectively, during the regular season. The Mavericks won more than 50 games each year. The 1987–88 edition of the franchise went 53-29, beat Houston and the Denver Nuggets in the first two rounds of the postseason, then extended the Lakers to seven games before losing in the Western Conference Finals.

    My beef is Barkley at 21 while Rodman is at 47. Yeah, Barkley put up more points, but Rodman was a part of 2 dynasties and had more boards. Basketball is more than just offense.
