True Lakers Fans

They have:
1. Magic Johnson
2. Oscar Robertson
3. John Stockton
4. Steph Curry
5. Isiah Thomas
-Magic ripped this list on Twitter because Isiah was 5th behind Stockton and Curry. The ESPN crew that analyze Basketball are now forming their 5 best SG's of all-time, I haven't seen that list yet but surely Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant have to be #1 and #2. Jerry West probably 3rd. After that it will be interesting to see who they put at 4th? I think it should be Wade but these ESPN people can be a little off the mark at times when doing these list's. Does Reggie Miller belong in the Top 5? Perhaps Drexler? I am not sure how they view John Havlicek? Some have him listed as a SF.

I will go with these Top 5's at each position if I can only choose 5. This is all-time updated,
PG's
1. Magic Johnson
2. Oscar Robertson
3. Isiah Thomas - I agree with Magic he should be 3rd
4. Steph Curry
5. John Stockton, I would take the Stock over Bob Cousy despite Cousy's championship resume. Just like I think Wilt is better than Russell. The Celtics back then had an All-Star team is the main reason why they won so many Championships. I honestly think though Steph Curry is better than Stockton already despite not having near the resume but he does have a Championship if one wanted to use that in an argument between those 2. I have never seen a better shooter than Steph Curry and that includes Reggie Miller. Stockton has to be Top 5 because nobody will come close to his Assist record and that is the primary job of a PG, too Assist!

SG's
1. Michael Jordan
2. Kobe Bryant
3. Jerry West
4. Dwyane Wade
5. John Havlicek - He was 6'5 205. I will list him as a SG. He is labeled a SG/SF on Wiki. Tough leaving off players like Clyde Drexler and Reggie Miller!

SF's
1. Larry Bird
2. LeBron James
3. Elgin Baylor
4. Julius Erving
5. James Worthy - I would put Worthy in my Top 5. Guy was clutch and always performed well in big Playoff games. He won a Finals MVP in 1988. This is probably doing Scottie Pippen a disservice but Worthy would beat him one-on-one IMO as well. I also considered Kevin Durant, Durant is already that Great in his young career. You all know Durant is coming to the Lakers next season!!

PF's
1. Tim Duncan
2. Karl Malone
3. Charles Barkley
4. Dirk Nowitzki
5. Kevin Garnett, I feel bad leaving off Bob Pettit but to me Dirk and Garnett deserve Top 5 honors. Dirk took out Miami in 2011.

Centers
1. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
2. Wilt Chamberlain
3. Bill Russell
4. Shaquille O'Neal - He probably should rank 3rd in all honesty as he was more dominant than Russell Offensively but Russell was the ultimate team player, Defender, Rebounder, and won 11 Championships.
5. Hakeem Olajuwon slightly over the great Moses Malone!

-A lot of this is eye test but I had to rely on film as well regarding some of the older players I haven't seen live. Stats, Clutch play, MVP's, and Championships were a part of my equation as well.

I wonder if Tate is ok? He hasn't Posted in a while and I just went over to Tom's and he hasn't been active in a week.

I'm sure he's fine. he's probably just sick of everyone.

Probably just sick of me with my rankings but in seriousness he hasn't Posted anywhere in a while. I just hope nothing Is wrong with him. I used to get a kick out of him and you debating/battling. That had me rolling. You guys dueled.
