Yogibear Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Earlier this morning, espn.com came out with their list of the the Top 10 Players in NBA History. Actually, it was a list that started at #74. What I'm going to do is give the list from 50-1. 50. Wes Unseld 49. Reggie Miller 48. Bill Walton 47. George Gervin 46. Dominique Wilkins 45. Anthony Davis 44. Elvin Hayes 43. Rick Barry 42. Russell Westbrook 41. Bob Cousy 40. Chris Paul 39. Walt Frazier 38. Bob Pettit 37. Patrick Ewing 36. Kevin McHale 35. Jason Kidd 34. George Mikan 33. John Havlicek 32. James Harden 31. Isiah Thomas 30. Steve Nash 29. Allen Iverson 28. John Stockton 27. Giannis Antetokounmpo 26. Dwayne Wade 25. Kawhi Leonard 24. David Robinson 23. Charles Barkley 22. Elgin Baylor 21. Scottie Pippen 20. Kevin Garnett 19. Dirk Nowitzki 18. Moses Malone 17. Karl Malone 16. Jerry West 15. Julius Erving 14. Kevin Durant 13. Stephen Curry 12. Hakeem Olajuwon 11. Oscar Robertson 10. Shaquille O'Neal 9. Kobe Bryant 8. Tim Duncan 7. Larry Bird 6. Wilt Chamberlain 5. Magic Johnson 4. Bill Russell 3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 2. LeBron James 1. Michael Jordan Several years ago, I gave out my Top 50 list and got some real mixed opinions about it. But, after looking at ESPN's list, I've got to change my own opinion. This is the REAL list of the Top 50 players in NBA History. What does everyone else think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yogibear Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 I'm watching ESPN right now, and they just flashed across the screen that Wes Unseld, who's #50 on my list, has just passed away at age 74. At least he led the Bullets/Wizards franchise to a title in 1978. He will never be forgotten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmarc27 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 I feel like Rodman is top 50 if he’s not Dennis Rodman. He was the dominant defender of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigmarc27 Posted June 4, 2020 Share Posted June 4, 2020 Here’s me next to Alonzo Mourning circa 2010-ish. I’m every bit of 6’1” and felt like a child next to him. Very nice guy. https://postimg.cc/LnRD4Dy8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
