I am gonna go with wade because of his finals performance

Pettit, Baylor, and Mikan belong in the top 20 imo, but that's not going to happen on this list since there's 2 spots left in the top 20. Either one of those guys are deserving, along with a couple of others like Robinson and Dirk maybe.

I vote Bob Pettit
NBA Champion
2x NBA MVP
11x All-Star
10x All-NBA First Team

He had 50 points and 19 rebounds in the Finals Game 6 clincher to win the '58 Title over Bill Russell's Celtics. Pettit also has been top 5 in MVP voting 8 times, and won the first NBA MVP award.

If Dr. Js ABA career isn't being factored in, then theres no reason IMO he should be that high. And if it factored in, he should be much higher IMO.

that sums it up pretty well

with ABA he's probably just outside the top 5; without it he's fringe top 30 at best

I guess people just split the difference?

Correct.

The list started off well but the lack of Elgin Baylor nominations is criminal and taints the list.

I really have no clue who to pick here, but these are the guys I'm considering:

Baylor
Dirk
Pettit
Pippen
Rodman
Thomas
Wade

they probably round out my top 25 in some order

It's going to get hard after the top 25 because you will have a huge group of players that don't really have that much over everybody else.

that's why I'm trying to come up with some objective criteria

problem is, when I do that I always end up with 9 of the top 10 and something like 17 of the top 20 players as bigs

I think what I need to do is carefully study the rule changes:

Baylor? Pettit(who?)? Robinson? Dirk carried his team to a title without any other HOF player playing at an elite level which is something only a few guys in the history of the NBA can say. a Decade of consecutive 50+ win seasons while being the only player on those teams year after year. Now this is a guy you can build a winning atmosphere around. One of the biggest dongs to ever play in the NBA.

[StateOfMind12]

Dirk Nowitzki, he should have been ahead of Barkley really and David Robinson should have as well.
