My Top 10 Players of all-time, you guys knew it was coming

Postby 3Peatkb24 » Wed Oct 28, 2015 4:26 am

1. Michael Jordan 6'6 198 North Carolina
2. Magic Johnson 6'9 220 Michigan St
3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 7'2 245 UCLA
4. Wilt Chamberlain 7'1 275 Kansas
5. Kobe Bryant 6'6 210
6. Bill Russell 6'9.5 220 San Francisco
7. Larry Bird 6'9 220 Indiana St
8. Tim Duncan 6'11 250 Wake Forest
9. Shaq O'Neal 7'0 325 LSU
10. Ok should it be LeBron James 6'8 250 or Big O 6'5 220 Cincinnati? I know Tate would throw Larry Peacock to the curb and add Jerry West 6'4 180 or Elgin Baylor 6'5 225 but the rest of who I have in here he would agree with but probably have it in different order :waaaaa: I do have to mention Hakeem Olajuwon as well out of Houston at 7'0 245 because many think he was better than Shaq. I don't think anyone was more dominant than Shaq Offensively other than Wilt. *I have only seen Wilt, Russell, Big O, West, and Elgin on film and YouTube play so I may not be qualified to rank those players but have seen plenty of their play on film, studied their Stats, etc.. That last sentence was for my good buddy Tate :waaaaa: Heck I am only 44, not 100 :mrgreen: what do you expect :lol:

So many game-related factors and personal preferences when it comes to these lists . . some would have Kobe and Bird lower, Russell higher and of course LeBron floating around there in the single digits simply because we've been witnessing his dazzling talents most recently. Any one of these players has to be film-tested and statistically measured, then run through the analytical gauntlet of professional and public opinion in order to find their truest spot on the list. I wonder if Curry can find his way up the ladder . . he seems to have what it takes.

It's tough to compare era's, that is the problem I always find with these lists. Going by who I have witnessed in my lifetime since 1980 basically I would have:
1. Michael Jordan
2. Magic Johnson
3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
4. Kobe Bryant
5. Larry Peacock
6. Tim Duncan
7. Shaq O.Neal
8. LeBron James
9. Hakeem Olajuwon
10. Moses Malone edging out Karl Malone and Julius Erving, RIP to Moses. Man he was great!

It's not just about who you would draft first Tate. I would draft Peyton first if we were doing a Football Draft because he can carry a team by himself much better than Brady or Montana. It's about the resume along with their greatness. I took Shaq because of his presence in the paint and Nuggs took Wilt and Rev took Cap. So I had great reasons for my pick. You took LeBron instead of Elgin but you think Elgin is the best SF of all-time so of all people you should understand my pick.

"Sesame Street list shenanigans" Back to the Tate I love. By the way when Peyton hands Brady his ass in MileHigh then we can talk more about my shenanigans :waaaaa: Colts will still make the Playoffs too, as much as you love seeing Luck struggle he will still go at least 9-7. I think Indy loses to Denver this week but after that their schedule is cake.

We will see. You do know 7-9 will probably win that Division and after the Colts play Denver their schedule is cake. If the Colts would've won Monday they would've ran away with the Division. They lost in OT to an undefeated team on the road in primetime so they showed heart and that they can compete with the better teams. Only lost to the Patriots by 7 points as well, that has been the toughest game the Pats have had all season. The Colts have won 16 straight games against their Division and the Colts still play the Texans, Jags, Titans again. Already 3-0 against the Division this season so they already own all-tiebreakers. Yes 3-5 isn't good but that is also what the Texans are, Jags are 2-5, Titans 1-6. I still see the Colts going no worse than 8-8, those other teams wont sniff .500. I already think Denver will beat the Colts so I am staring at 3-6 but after that the schedule is very favorable. The Texans have one of the toughest schedules down the stretch. I cant see them winning more than 5 or 6 games. It is really just a matter of the Colts being in a bad Division more than anything because they aren't playing well that they will get in.

Somebody should tell Luck that Peyton's gonna spank that ass on Sunday.


:rofl4:


I think Denver will win as well. Cant disagree with you there. So far though Luck is 2-1 against Peyton + that huge Playoff win in MileHigh over Peyton. Right now to me Denver is the best team in Football. It's because of their Defense more than anything and I also think Peyton is pacing himself this year and not worried about putting up monster stats. I think he just wants to win 1 more SB and go out on top. They very well could. The Coaching change they made was a great move with Kubiak. Fox wore out his welcome. If the Colts cant do it, I would love to see Peyton win another. He would become the only QB in NFL history to win it all with 2 different teams as a starter. To me that is better than winning 5 MVP's.
