Agreed. Don't know what they were thinking. Everyone seems out of place, outside of you know who. No Hakeem, either.

Oscar is not a top 10 player of all-time. I don't even think he is in my top 12, but he is in my top 15. Magic was overrated once again just like in most lists. There is no reason why Magic should be above Bird by that many spots.
My rankings....
1. Michael Jordan
2. Bill Russell
3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
4. Wilt Chamberlain
5. Magic Johnson
6. Larry Bird
7. Tim Duncan
8. Kobe Bryant
9. Shaquille O'Neal
10. Hakeem Olajuwon

Championship or bust

Top 5 looks right. Some could be interchanged but at least the right players are there. The rest looks a little iffy.

i honestly break out into hysterical laughter at these lists that have magic johnson over the likes of wilt, kareem and particularly bird, who was around at the same time.
i believe 80% of basketball fans outside of celtics and lakers fans will tell you bird was indefinitely the better player who actually watched that era of basketball. im not sure what has made magic climb above him and other players who were clearly better than him. might simply be the fact that he is well known to the regular basketball fans due to his HIV incident and the fact that he is the one constantly on tv.
EDIT: furthermore, does anyone have any reason as to why magic is rated above the likes of shaq? better peak, longer peak, better prime, more impactful, was just as much of a winner. what is the reason magic is above shaq on most lists?

I honestly break out into hysterical laughter at these people who deride Magic's ability.
Well, actually... no I don't. That's an absolutely ridiculous thing to say.
I mean, really? You "break out into hysterical laughter..."? Might want to get that checked into.

Oscar is great but he doesn't belong in the top ten imo.

Yea the more I've been watching Hakeem and Shaq's Playoff and finals games at their peaks it's making me realize that Duncan and Kobe have just never been that dominant. That's no knock on them because Duncan had one of the greatest playoffs/Finals runs of all time and Kobe is ....Kobe.
So I guess as of now.
Jordan
Russell
Kareem/Wilt
Bird
Magic
Shaq/Hakeem
Duncan
Kobe
