Top 50 All-Time List - Shot Clock Era = #48

[L.Kizzle]

How is Dave Cowens not really even in these conversations? He had a "Willis Reed-esque" career. It was relatively short, but during the course of it, he was a ROY, league MVP (I know many feel that Kareem should have won it that year, but anyways...) an 8x all star, 2x champion as a 1b on his team, and had multiple all NBA and all defensive teams.

I was voting for Dave about 5 spots ago until the Kevin McHale votes started to pour in.
I'm back to Dave Cowens voting.

Current Vote Tally

Bill Walton - 7 (colts19, Round Mound, LBJ, Lebron_James, Go Getter, francesco totti, NIke D'Antoni)
Anthony Davis - 3 (OOO, dankok8, kawhileonard2)
Dave Cowens - 2 (jlip, L. Kizzle)
Paul Pierce - 2 (fsvr54, 1987_Lakers)
Dwight Howard - 2 (gonzaldo, Phoenix)
James Worthy - 1 (Reggie43)
Dominique Wilkins - 1 (SouBeachTalents)
Ray Allen - 1 (Manny98)
Damian Lillard - 1 (blazers32)

I'm thinking we can call this one for Walton. I mean he doesn't have 10 votes but he has by far the most and we did call with 8 a couple of times...

What do y'all think?

[SouBeachTalents]

I’ll vote for AD, Walton has no business making the top 50 over guys who were elite for 7-10 years off the basis of 2 seasons.

I voted for T-Mac. But if it’s down to the last few AD. Walton isn’t even top 100. I don’t care how good his peak was.

In the name of consistency I would call it, because you've hit the 20 vote minimum and there's way too many names left you could vote into this spot and drag this whole thing out. Hard disagree with Walton at this pick, but whatever. Hell, he didn't peak as high but Dave Cowens checks all the team/solo award boxes and had a much more prolific career.

[Akeem34TheDream]

Never made it out of the first other then the season the Lakers won. Might as well vote for T-Mac here.

False

[dankok8]

Alright then we have Walton 7 Davis 5 as our finalists. Let's vote for one of those two!

[Phoenix]

Lol well if we keeping it open, I'll switch my vote back from Dwight to AD then.

[L.Kizzle]

False

I corrected myself. They beat Portland in 17 or 18.

Damn, why it gotta be out of those two lol. I don't have either close to my top 50 lol.

[ELITEpower23]

You know what Elite? In a rare moment of humility, you're right. I'll change my vote to D12 because I'm not married to voting for Brow here.

Real recognize real


I'll vote D12 too

[dankok8]

Damn, why it gotta be out of those two lol. I don't have either close to my top 50 lol.

That's how most of the people voted. We have to call this race sometimes soon!

[Airupthere]

Not a fan of the two top selections. I'll keep my non-vote on the two.

Yeah but I had to reverse course again because it's basically down to Walton vs AD . If Dwight somehow gains steam over the next few hours I'll go back to him just to muddy the waters

OP, consider my vote for AD conditional on it being between him and Walton. If Dwight somehow manages a 3 way split I want him in this spot over either of them.
