You mean in the stands. Durant might be a Top 12 SF as of now.
He's a top 5 SF right now, maybe a top 3
Only LBJ and Bird are clearly ahead of him and you can't make a argument he's better than any other SF you can name.

NO respect for this dude.....
Or THIS one....

? , at least the first two got ? rings.

AgreeDr J is that ? . He's 3 on my list but ppl can make a argument for KD.
LBJ
Bird
Dr. J
KD
Worthy/Nique. (I go back and forward with these two) -
I'm taking Pippen over Durant too
-
That's a legit ass list right there. The Dream or Lakers Shaq could go in there depending on what you're looking for at the 5 or building a second team to try and counter that. That's a goat team right there though lol.

Nah he is top 10 in his sleep.
Argument for top 5. -
Good list. Only change I'd make is Isiah at the point.

DisagreeNot sure about Magic. What about Oscar Robertson?
-
DisagreeAnd when all is said and done, Steph Curry.
-
DisagreeDon't like picking the best this way (i.e. by position). Magic may be the best PG ever (a case can be made), but he's definitely not one of the top 5 players ever. Not even 10.

Is he better than Kobe? No. So that pushes him out of the top 5 (assuming that the other four players listed here are better than him too).
Is he better than Wilt, Charles Barkley, Larry Bird, Steph Curry (when all is said and done), or Dr. J? No. Along with the players already listed that pushes him out of the top 10.
The point guard is a weak position in terms of all time greats. That's the only reason why Magic gets these mentions.
Dude is probably not even top 15. -

What you mean? That the SG is deep in terms of all time greats?
If so, i agree. -
:# :# :#

AgreeThat's about as good a list you can get. I agree the Center position is a bit contentious, but that's to be expected given how it was the most important position for so long.

How?
He ain't a pg
He just a ? that shoot
Them flashy passes don't mean ? when they soar out of bounds pass a wide open ? outstretched hands -
I'd put Hakeem at the 5, but Kareem is never the wrong answer.

He is more known as a shooter, but he's a PG. -
AgreeOnly one of those guys played without an all time great coach. Just saying!

Cause you can find more top shelf players at that position (MJ, Kobe, Jerry West, Clyde Drexler, Allen Iverson, etc.) than you can at the PG position.
