#17 NBA Player Of All-Time According to InsideHoops

[ThunderStruk022]

Ring Crap Again...

Then Russell > Jordan Right?

Watch the Games and See Who is More Dominant. Barkley is the Most Dominant PF Ever

No, Jordan >>> Than Russell. I Just Can't Put A Player In My Top 10 Who Has Zero Rings.

Moses Malone before Karl Malone? WTF.

Not sure if serious..

If you are, but if you're not, good one.

Barkley>Malone and Dirk

A single championship difference between Dirk and Barkley is not enough to forget all the failures Dirk had with stacked teams. If a championship was enough to put him above Barkley and Malone, then what the heck are Bird and Wilt doing above Kobe, Shaq, and Duncan? Why isn't Bill Russell at least top 2 and Lebron almost top 10?? Then championships should help Robert Horry jump to at least top 50, right?

Championships are a great accomplishment that should be considered, but so are longevity, consistency, level of competition, rules and pace, skill-set and productivity, athleticism, health, and I would say that three other things should be considered in these type of evaluations: team-chemistry, character, and development or growth.

Because team-chemistry defines how a player was a factor not only during games statistically, but also how he exemplified leadership and promoted a winning mentality to others. Character defines the type of professional that a player strives to be, the type of effort a player gives on and off the court, almost like a visual measurement of a player's competitiveness. If a player fulfilled his potential, exceeded the expectations, and made the most out any situation in his career, then he grew into the best player he could possibly become, and that not only shows character, but straight up "love" for the game.

Gotta give it to Zeke, the greatest little man.

Rick Barry won a title with role players(14ppg rookie Wilkes as #2) and nobody gives a damn.
