1 Michael Jordan
2 Magic Johnson
3 Oscar Robertson

12 Pete Maravich
13 Nate Archibald
14 Earl Monroe

What year was this list put out ?

Looks like sometime around the 50 greatest players list as no Kidd, Payton, Kobe, AI, Miller, ect.

That's my thought too, as I saw no Kobe, Wade, Iverson, etc...

It's cool to see Gervin regarded that high (although, I think he's overrated on that list).

The list was produced in 1997. The rankings are excellent.

I'll go unseld again

Pierce?? He shouldnt be any higher than 60 IMO...

I want to see Gary Payton get in, i could keep wasting votes on Rodman but none of you turds appreciate him

ill be voting for rodman pretty soon

[turnaroundJ]

Don't worry. In 10 years when Durant and Dwight already have MVPs (which I fully expect) and when people look back in hindsight, they'll be regarded as top 30 players for sure.

- brought team to finals
- top in the league in statistical categories
Etc. etc.

And all of this despite being near the top of their games at this present time already. With a considerable amount of accolades (Especially Dwight).
