Forgive me for the jLauber-like wall of text.

Mark Jackson and Mike James?

Nah, Marko Jaric and Mervin Jackson.

[necya]

Robertson by the slighest of margins



What's up necya? I know for most, the combination of accolades, peak play, longevity, and impact go into these type of rankings...and in this case, most people have Kobe ranked above those two. Why do you see it the other way around? Just curious.

Hey W.

yeah i know, i personnally don't take into account accolades, longevity or stats. titles happen with time, team work and good management.
you can't blame a player who doesn't have the same teammates or coach than another player. it depends of so much things. that's why i don't see the goal to rank players by their career achievements.

i judge the players on how they fulfill their role with the team they have (bad, good or championship caliber) in their own era.

got the games btw ?

Who is Mervin Jackson, didn't he play guitar in the Jackson 5??

[QUOTE]In terms of stamina and toughness, West was in a league of his own. For his entire 14 year NBA career, West averaged nearly 40 MPG. And keep in mind, the league during his time played at a much higher pace than the modern NBA, and players would frequently sprint up and down the court and change posessions multiple times, sometimes in the span of less than a minute. Also, the league during West
