    my dad said russell could have put up incredible numbers, too, and that he was a fantastic, generational talent. but he also said that wilt was the better player. back then, russell basically got to be kd with the warriors while wilt was giannis (on even more roids) with the bucks. in other words, switch wilt and russell, and my dad said wilt wins the same amount and puts up the gaudier numbers to boot.

    in the end, though, it seems a matter of preference, as wilt (again, according to some who watched) could have put more effort in on d (see: oneal, shaquille) but was so incredible that the talent overwhelmed the spirit and know-how.

    Probably true, but we will never know for sure and you still can't discount Russell's accomplishments. They are too great to ignore. I never thought of Wilt as a slacker on D or O. I did not see him play during the prime of his career in Philly, so don't really know that part. Saw every Lakers game he played though.

    Anyone with a brain capable of putting variability of stats into context can see that Kobe is very close to MJ, not 13 slots behind.

    My top 10:
    Kareem
    Wilt
    MJ
    Kobe
    Magic
    Bird
    Lebron
    Russell
    Hakeem
    Shaq
    Duncan

    It’s hard to not include Malone, west, Elgin, or big O in the top 10. It’s so debatable, really.

    i'd have made the same choices, though. your 10 are all better than those 4, imo.

    It's always a tough call, but I don't even think West would put himself that high.

    That's Chris. What about the MORON that thought he was ranking Kobe higher than he probably deserved at 14 because of some statistic?
