So it Rick Barry like a "B+" Larry Bird or what? Does he even get a mention in any of these votes?

Naw, he's even a joke in the ATRD. His value is s--t. Though, I think he is probably incredibly underrated. Being old doesn't help him, being old and White helps him even less, and shooting free throws underhand make him the equivalent to a high school varsity starter in people's eyes.

I'm leaning Dr. J but will wait for some debate...him not being on a top 25 list seems crazy.

Elgin Baylor once averaged 38ppg / 19rpg / 5apg for an entire season and made 10 straight all-nba 1st teams.

He's old, required 33+ shots to get his 38 points, and didn't shoot 3's (wasn't in the game). In other words, he's f--ked.

So who you voting for then you negative Nancy.

If we are talking about non-13 year old banging players, maybe Dr. J. I thought people actually use to respect him. He did everything but shoot 3's. Even then, he shot at 30%. Makes me think if he shot more, he would have been better in today's game.

Hot gawbage

I'm trolling. Just ignore me.

Don't be so hard on yourself. Maybe next time you will actually have something worth posting. Just like that kid in Angels in the Outfield said "it could happen." Have a nice day.

Im the biggest Heat fan there is.

Prove it by buying a Wade, Butler, Bam, & Herro Jersey and posting it on here

I'm stuck voting for Giannis because he got so much consideration before the Bucks flamed out. I don't feel like he should drop off the earth, though. He's like modern-day Shaq: A rarely matched physical specimen and world-wrecker who needs a closer like Kobe or Wade to get over the hump.

I have never heard this comparison before and I kinda like it. He dominates and defenses have to plan for him in much the same way.

Shaq didn't decline in the playoffs to the degree Giannis has every year
