What a fukking joke.

Paul Pierce scored the 4th most points in the 2000s, made 10 all star teams, was the leading scorer on two teams that went to the final and won a chip and finals mvp

fukk outta here with that list.

Ginoblo didnt even make top 75.
Chris Paul never won anything
Steve Nash played with multiple hall of famers and never won anything.
Ray Allen was a low tier all star who never won anything until he was the 3rd/4th best player on his team.

This ring culture shyt is garbage. Stop using rings and team success to rank individual players.

You want to use rings to boost up people like Manu and Draymond, but dont take anything away from guys like Iverson, Nash and CP0. Foh.

The people who made this dumbass list probably dont even watch basketball yet they have influence over narratives like this.

Wait a min…

Draymond is on this list and Dwight Howard isn’t? LMAO

Dwight always gets disrespected on these lists. He should have been on that top 75 list over guys like Dame.

He gets overlooked maybe because a lot of people find him corny and unlikeable. He still had 3 DPOY awards and 4 top 5 MVP finishes.


Shaq had a higher peak and Kobe was Shaq's sidekick at one point.:yeshrug:

Shaq had a better peak and actually did have very impressive longevity, but the list is just for the 21st century. He was already in his 8th season by the time the 2000s started. He was an elite player for the first half of the decade (04-05 MVP runner up,) but not after that. He actually had more seasons as an elite player in the 90s than 00s. Kobe was a top player from the start of the century until he tore his Achilles in 13’.
