CBS Releases New Greatest 50 NBA Players of All Time (20 Years Later)

[stepbackj34spud]

People actually giving this list credibility? The original list had a lot more thought and care put into it than this list.

No it didn't because they established it too soon. How do you establish a 50 greatest players list with just 50 years of history? Corny..

You have arguably the second greatest player ever in LeBron who can never say he's one of the 50 greatest players ever. That's crazy.

How is Chris Paul higher than Wade??

Exactly.. Chris Paul is universally overrated.. Wade and Paul played/play in the same era.. Wade has won 3 champions 1fmvp, Chris Paul hasn't won anything. shyt is crazy how overrate CP0 is.. I hate tht nikka.

They established the 50 greatest players of all time because it was the 50th anniversary of the league.

They should and will do another one eventually, but fukk CBS's list.

And we know Lebron is one of the 50 greatest players, don't need a list to tell us that, but they'll update the list when they do.

typical media list.

they downplay and underrate the same players.

the consistent downplaying of Oscar Robertson, Julius erving, elgin Baylor, Isiah Thomas, allen Iverson, & rick barry.
and the consistent boosting of kobe Bryant, dirk nowitzki, chris paul, steve nash and to a lesser degree - wade & Stockton.
and the rush to placement of steph curry & I hate to say it but kawhai leonard.

Exactly.. Chris Paul is universally overrated.. Wade and Paul played/play in the same era.. Wade has won 3 champions 1fmvp, Chris Paul hasn't won anything. shyt is crazy how overrate CP0 is.. I hate tht nikka.

Dwayne wade is overrated too.

put him on CP3's teams and he gets further but doesn't get any rings. put CP3 on wade's teams, and he still wins those 2 rings with bron & bosh.

He just started man he's only 25 and he has a finals MVP two TIME defensive player of the year lead the league in steals one year he's not going to stop anytime soon he's gonna keep climbing the ladder

I'm one of the biggest kawhai fans on this site.......but I'm also one of the biggest fans of penny hardaway, grant hill & derrick rose.

not to talk it up. I hope kawhai doesn't even suffer a sprained finger........but you see what I'm getting at here.

50 years is too short. The game wasn't in played on an advanced level until like the 70s. You have guys on this list who couldn't dribble with their off hand. Smh

Awful list

I disagree. Wade and Paul aren't equal, I always viewed prime Wade as being way better. Switch him and CP3 on that first championship Heat team and they don't make it passed the Pistons. I don't even know what you're basing this off because Paul has never won any big games. Never even been to a conference finals. To say you can just swap him and Wade on the big 3 Heat teams and get the same results is dumb as fukk.

nikka you learn to read. You said Wade is overrated too.. he did a hell of a lot more than CP0 tho.

You said you could switch Wade and Paul, and Paul would win champions with Bron and Bosh. I said that's not true.. and you have nothing to base that off since Paul has never won anything in his career. Plus, I don't even think Paul and Bron could co-exist on the same team since they both dominate the ball.

I added my own bit in there when I said Paul wouldn't win on the first Heat championship team either. Wade carried that team to a championship. He had one of the greatest finals series ever. Replace him with Paul and the Heat don't make it passed the Pistons.

lol at bytch ass cp0 being so high on this list when he never made it to conference finals and has no mvp's either.

like you are telling me cp0 is better all time player than d-wade, durant, zeke, iverson, admiral, ewing, baylor?

nikka who the fukk puts chris paul over these legends?

this nikka is a hollinger stats player, he will bytch out in important games just so his advanced stats could look cute

Pip got bounced in the 2nd round

Explained later in the thread...Indy wasn't beating Chicago.
