Reply to what you think of my list and create one of your own.
A few mentioned that Dr. J didnt make the cut and why Kobe is so high up. Well Dr. J, for those who don't know who that is it Julius Erving, see link below for picture. Dr. J didn't make the cut because I truly dont feel his stats match up well with anyone on my list. Dr.J only has one Ring(ABA not included) and one MVP(ABA not included) to his name. As for Kobe at the 3 spot, Black Mamba has racked more accolades that some people on this list put together. Before Lebron sweep the nation and after Jordan left for retirement(the third time) Kobe was dominating the NBA while racking up 5 rings in the process. So Kobe will stay my top three for life.

ReplyDeleteAs you can see Lebron James did not make the Top 10 list. I am not a fan of creating super-teams to obtain rings. He is the top player in the NBA right now but with every ring he gets we all can say "Jordan could of had 10 rings if he went to LA with Magic or to the Celtics with Bird" The only time a super-team is OK is All-Star games and the Olympics. For that Queen James will never be on my top 10.

I love my man Kobe... but higher than Wilt? Dude averaged 30pts & 20rebs a game for his career... plus he smashed 10,000 women.
ReplyDeletetheCinMGC- Wilt only has two rings to Kobe's five. Also Wilt played in a era where a man of his stature was extremely rare thus averaging 30pts was a walk in the park. I appreciate the comment nonetheless. Make sure to check out the other lists and comment your thoughts.
