Kobe vs Shaq- who do you rank higher all time?

[Fallen Angel]

I don't even need to explain myself.

All-Time lists are extremely opinionated, everyone thinks their list is right and will cry and pout to death that Poster A's list is wrong.

bird being out of the top 10 is pretty asinine and is almost a slap in the face to everything he accomplished as a basketball player.

it's mj - magic- bird

they are all synonymous with basketball greatness. anyone who thinks otherwise probably needs to do some research on him, that is my point.

Remember when Dr. J was MJ status before MJ? Me too, and now he's chilling in the 15-20 range.

Same with Kobe being put in the top 10

Pretty much this.

[Fallen Angel]

Remember when Jerry West was the #1 SG all-time?

Until Michael Jordan came and made him #2.

Until Kobe Bryant came and made him #3.

Until Dwyane Wade came and made him #4.

poor comparison. dr. j played in two leagues, the aba and the nba. it's hard to review his career in its proper context.

but that has nothing to do with bird being out of the top 10. it's one thing to have an opinion, it's another to have a misinformed one.

edit: west has a case over wade.

Nobody separates Juilus Erving's ABA Career from his NBA Career in All-Time ranking, it's a simple habit to include the two even if people ask for All-Time greatest NBA players.

And Larry Bird isn't inclined to forever be in the Top 10. Lebron James has surpassed him in the All-Time rankings, Bird is now known to the general public as the 2nd Greatest SF in NBA History, yet at the same time Lebron hasn't eclipsed some of the NBA's Greatest Centers and of course Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, and Oscar Robertson. You can't try to fit Bird in the top 10 if the player who's already eclipsed him isn't head of 10 other players. Nobody is saying Bird's not great or an All-Time great, the All-Time list is just growing with more accomplished players.

You keep taking this as a bash toward Larry Bird, it's not. Welcome to the future, more players will continue to be great.
