[outacontrol music]

AI?

KG?

Kobe?

Timmy?

Feel free to give your opinion

 

[true 3 blue]

You pretty much named em, there's not much that have been in the game that long to consider them as one of the greatest just yet.

 

[verdykt]

Tim Duncan
Kobe Bryant
Allen Iverson
Kevin Garnett
Shaq ( I don't remember if he already was one of the 50 greatest don't shoot me)

 

[downtown43]

Shaq was already on there... but basically Duncan, Iverson, Garnett, Kobe like you said

 

[gangsta207therevolution]

And all those guys eventually will be in the top 25

Those guys all had their flaws but as far as pure talent Basketball continues to progress and thats why the NBA can get out of this rutt it is currently in.

J Kidd...ehh

maybe.


I'd bump Pippen for Kobe.

 

[downtown43]

Kidd shouldn't get on that list before Gary Payton

 

[selrahc123]

What about Nash? Two back to back MVP's? I guess he needs a ring huh?

 

[downtown43]

Nash almost HAS to get in, because $tern already gave him 2 MVPs. but he will easily be the worst player on that list. it's a travesty

no one would get the boot. The top 50 were named because the NBA was celebrating it's 50th anniversary, so the next one would be the top 60, 70, etc.

 

[barondavis5]

SMH at Joe Dumars not even being mentioned in the 50 greatest

 

[imaniketalker]

Did 'Nique make the list... or was it the Hall he was denied for a few years?

Players starred had, upon theclose of the 2005-06 season, been inducted as players into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Players with daggers (†) were inducted after 2006.

* Kobe Bryant
* Tim Duncan
* Kevin Garnett
* Connie Hawkins*
* Allen Iverson
* Jason Kidd
* Bob McAdoo*
* Reggie Miller
* Gary Payton
