    Durant too high; he should be below Curry. Duncan too low. O'Neal should be above Kobe.

    Tbh, that's probably the most respectable list I've ever seen No list is perfect, so the rankings I think were truly bad

    Guys ranked way too high: Baylor, Iverson, Melo, Dame, Unseld, Bosh

    Guys ranked way too low: Frazier, Reed, Dwight, Luka, McGrady

    And I feel like Butler & PG were shafted

    Karl Malone 11 spots above Charles Barkley is ridiculous. Affects overall list credibility.

    Whoever voted for Robert Horry needs to be revealed.
    Never got an All-NBA vote, but gets a vote for a top 79 player of All-Time.

    That's crazy they didn't make the cut

    But there two orders are downright criminal...
    44 Anthony Davis
    56 Wes Unseld
    60 Robert Parish
    61 Willis Reed
    79 Bill Walton
    48 Russell Westbrook
    52 Damian Lillard
    57 Ray Allen
    66 Nate Archibald
    67 Pete Maravich
    70 Kyrie Irving
    72 Luka Doncic
    I can understand Kyrie and Doncic being ranked over Tiny and Pistol but Dame and Ray...and saying Russ the guy that no team wanted after 30.

    And then these just really insult me..

    9 Shaquille O'Neal over 20 Julius Erving
    12 Kevin Durant over 18 Jerry West
    28 Scottie Pippen pver 47 George Mikan
    36 Steve Nash over 59 Clyde Frazier

    Nothings "ironclad", its just a bunch of douchebags talking shit online. However if Jokic and Giannis didnt play another NBA game from now, I'd have Wade over both of them all-time. More rings, more iconic moments, better Finals run, much better to watch etc.

    Sam Jones, Hal Greer and Dave Bing should probably be over Pistol and Earl Monroe. They didn't even make the list.

    Right off the bat, they immediately tell you that the list is a joke. No need to further scroll down.
