Most transcendent player (MTP)

[Marchesk]

This would be the player you would be most confident in still be considered an all-time great being drafted to any team in any era (assume they have similar basketball exposure growing up and in college, if they attended).

IOW, it wouldn't matter who their teammates were, who the coach was, how shitty the organization was, or whether the league had a lot of media exposure. It also wouldn't matter if there was a 3pt line, whether you could hand check, or how fast/slow the pace was.

Guys that played both ways on the court and/or changed the game:

Kareem, Big O, Dr J, Magic, Bird, Jordan, Malone, Barkley, Olajuwon, Robinson, Shaq, Kobe, KG, Nowitzki, Lebron, Wade, Durant.

[Dr Hawk]

Basically all the all-time greats, but I would pick Jordan first.

On the other hand, the most hurt player would be Russell

[Kawhi]

Jordan.

What did I win?

But no mention of Wilt, huh? I'm not sure why some of those names are in a list of changing the game or playing both ways on the court, which I assume you mean defense. Guys like Barkley, Nowitzki and Durant aren't known as exceptional defenders, or having changed the game.

jordan
hakeem
kareem
garnett
stockton
etc..



lebrons too flawed fundamentally to survive in the 50's,60's,70's and too p*ssy to play in the 80's,90's

shaq,wilt are too 1 dimensional and wouldnt fit in todays game due to rule changes, strategies

[feyki]

1970's ballers

[RRR3]

No mention of Chalmers?

[Orlando Magic]

The answer to this thread is Jordan and it's not even close.
Duncan is another guy that jumps into my head immediately, however.

What does this mean? Also, where is Duncan if you're going to name off Malone/Barkley/Garnett/Dirk/Wade/Durant et al?

[jlip]

Kareem

[Fudge]

Kevin Durant, easily.
