Wilt? He was dropping numbers on white boys that was like :dwillhuh:


Contrary to your belief, Wilt was playing in a very competitive era (against Russell, Jerry West, Wes Unseld, David Bing, Willis Reed, etc.) where there were fewer teams and a higher concentration of future HOFers in the league. The league was also much more physical than the modern league. And Russell got the best of Wilt during that era.

How is Kidd not a top 5 pg? rings, finals appearances, making bums all stars.

I assume you're talking me.

I said Kidd is NOT a top 3 PG of all time. But you can make a strong argument that he's a top 5 PG.

That list would have been fine 5 years ago, but you gotta give Bron his due now.

1. There's extensive footage of Bill Russell playing. Russell clearly dominated in his time and was the anchor for the greatest dynasty in NBA history. Plus, Russell's accomplishments speak for themselves.

2. Russell's era of the NBA was a more difficult era in terms of competition and level of physicality. And Russell thrived.

Russell is a lock for top 3. Kobe's in the top 10.

thats a fukkin joke. 50 and 60s don't come close to the level of physicality today. and definitely not competition. remember back then no one outside america knew basketball existed and even in america basketball was not seen as a way to earn a living with the best athletes choosing sports like baseball and football.

even with more teams, the pool of possible athletes playing basketball is significantly larger. its way harder to the make the nba today than it was 50 years ago. MUCH HARDER.

but i agree russell is top 10. its difficult to compare players in different eras. the only way to judge em is based on what they accomplished.

Russell won 11 titles. PERIOD. thats alll that needs to be said.

Kobe longevity is top 5, but there is no way i'm taking prime kobe over a lot of those guys in their prime

prime kobe was literally a smige below prime jordan. unless you think very little of jordan i have no idea how prime kobe can't be as high as anyone not named shaq.

i never got the kobe's prime wasn't that good crowd. he spent part of it sacrificing big numbers alongside shaq to win and part of it sacrificing wins cause the Lakers had to rebuild.

Kobe's career path was just really unusual. He started his career on loaded teams, became part of a lottery roster in his prime, and then finally rebuild that into a contender past his prime.

if he had gone thru the natural progression young guys do when they hit the league by being on a bad team rather than a title contender, he woulda put up crazy stats while losing alot between ages 18-24. then when he hit 25, rather be rebuilding (like he did with the 2004 Lakers) he would've been in his prime on a good team as the man and winning mvps and titles. instead kobe's career has played in reverse and he had to sacrifice individually for Shaq to win rings.
