So you're saying that Isaiah Thomas and Dennis Rodman were right?ThomasFremont said:
Call me crazy, but Larry Bird is the most overrated bball player in history.Tequilla said:

We get it, he's good for a white guy.
But he doesn't belong in the elite conversation...not even close. -
That could be a very chinteresting discussion for anybody wanting to nerd out during the offseason.RoadDawg55 said:
Better than Kobe? Duncan? Shaq? How do you decide who is best? They are all franchise players.dnc said:

He's top 7 at absolute worst. I have him at 5.
There is very little to no difference from the guy ranked #5 to the guy ranked 15-20.
I don't disagree with you that largely when you get to the elite of the elite, the differences between players become very slim. -
The only one of those three I think you can argue was better than Bird is Duncan, and I'd take Kobe's consensual six.RoadDawg55 said:

Shaq to me is one of the all-time what ifs ... if he really cared about being the best he'd have kept himself in much better shape and won a few more titles. His dominance was as unparalleled as Wilt's in his era. But because he didn't, I think you can make a really good argument for not only Wilt being ahead of him (only area where Shaq has him is in rings) but also Moses Malone and Hakeem Olajuwon.

Shaq is WAY better.
Malone and Akeem were relentless every single possession.
Shaq could have had Wilt/Kareem like numbers. -
For a guy that didn't try, he still ended up #7 in scoring and won a shit ton of rings.PurpleThrobber said:

Not to mention he was more physically imposing than any player in league history. -
That's what he's saying though. If he would have tried he could have been top 3 all time.ThomasFremont said:

Shaq was lazy as hell. There's a reason Kobe hated him. Kobe might be a selfish asshole but he's a competitive asshole.
Is four rings a shit ton? -
He's no Robert Horry, but yeah, 4 seems pretty good.dnc said:

Jordan ONLY has 6...and Shaq wasn't even trying. -
Shaq never won without a top 5 all time shooting guard.
