Slam Magazine Top 50 Greatest Players of all time

**op12** · 06-14-2009, 10:04 PM

a little low for magic and bird in my opinion. rodman shouldnt be there, great rebounder, not so much a great player. not big on ai being there either. nash is also borderline, guess i cant complain with him at 50 though.

That list is garbage imo......some players shouldn't be on it but are, and just about everything is way off. Again all imo.

i feel you...possibly the best perimeter defender ever....finals mvp, 2nd best player on a "great" pistons team that won back to back titles............

I think you're right if you mean what I think you mean, however in terms of production, there's no question he's a top 5 center. In terms of production, one could argue he's the best center of all time, I would personally put him second, and I don't even like him.

You don't agree with Kareem and Kobe? Kareem at 7th and Kobe at 12th can be easily argued as low.

Lucas apparently jumped 12 spots from 2003 to 2009. He could jump another 12 and you wouldn't hear much of an argument from me.

considering what he did on both ends of the court, I would have to agree......

Nate thurmond should be right above pippen

Kobe winning one ring allowed him to jump up 47 slots!?!?!! David Robinson jumped up 12 slots for some reason....this list is beyond pathetic, all a matter of opinion except for MJ of course.

Also an MVP. Also many All-Star selections. Also many All-NBA selections. Also 2 All-Star MVPs. Also many All-Defense selections. Not to mention better statistics.

Heck, Lebron went from nowhere to top 50 and he hasn't won a single ring.

Kobe definitely belongs amongst the top players of all time, in fact, he's in the top ten. I can list a number of reasons for him belonging amongst the all time greats, and rather easily I might add.

Yeah I agree on Rodman. I can't see how you could be a top 50 player when you couldn't score and when you were literally always the 3rd best player on championship teams.
