When one really thins it down now I think the only names that should be involved in the Top 5 discussion of all-time are:
QB's - Unitas, Montana, Elway, Peyton, and Brady. With Peyton getting Ring #2 that separates him from Favre and Marino. Peyton still doesn't have the Rings Bradshaw has or Aikman but smokes them statistically and MVP wise. Aikman has never even won 1 MVP. Basketball wise - Wilt, Kareem, Magic, Jordan, and Kobe. To me Shaq is the most dominant force since Wilt but not a Top 5 player of all-time. Duncan could be in the discussion but is he better than Kobe at their peaks? I say no. Russell has 11 Championships but wasn't that great of an Offensive player, and LeBron needs to win a Championship in Cleveland before he can enter such a discussion IMO. Bird isn't Top 5 either obviously.
