west at 4.

wade is maybe at 5.

jordan, kobe & iverson are top 3.
Iverson? Top 3? :smh:

If he was top 3 he'd still be playing right now.

He's 39, Jordan was putting up 20ppg at age 40. Kobe if he doesn't hurt again prolly will be putting up at least 15 too.
But obviously we can't put Iverson up there with MJ and Kobe

You can't even put him past wade unless you Ignore all of Wade's success and Rings
But ignoring that....You still can't

Even with Wade's lazy defense he played last year at age 32 he was still better defensively than Iverson was in his prime.
Wade is a two way player Iverson is a One Way player.

And he isn't even that much better on offense than wade.
Iverson highest career shooting percentage for a singe season is 46%. :heh:
If Wade shot that percentage it would be the lowest he's ever had.

Imagine if Jerry West played in this era, winning only one championship out of eight Finals, playing with the likes of Wilt Chamberlain and Elgin Baylor (both of whom would also get shyt on)... he'd be the biggest media target in history.

i think Jerry West is the best dresser out of all three though.

Iverson still thinks he's in a 1993 naughty by nature music video.
Wade thinks he's in a 1993 episode of family matters.

Who is shytting on Wilt tho?
Hibbert? :heh:
Dude is basically shaq without the wieght problems.
He would beast more easily today then he did back then.
He at least had to play against people like kareem on occasion.

Kareem still beasted as an old man against people like Hakeem

Hakeem beasted against people like shaq

and even when flabby Shaq was doing this to the current best center in the league :heh:

Nah, I don't mean other players would shyt on Wilt. I'm talking about how the media and fans would shyt on Wilt.

I probably shouldn't say if they had played in this era; rather, if Twitter and the 24 hour sports cycle and ESPN and all of that was around in the 1960s we wouldn't look at these guys so fondly.

wilt was in the league for 10 years before he had to worry about kareem. his only threat was a 6'9 center.

That proves my point tho. as an old vet he was still going back and forth with a young Kareem.
Imagine how much he would shytted on him if he was young.
plus right now the best center in the league is 6'9" so...

WIlt would be the best center in any era. I just don't get the argument that he had to deal with kareem. he was almost retired by that time.

i like how you avoided the hieght discrepancy.
The point i was making is this: he was almost retired and still almost as good as a young Kareem.
