I wanted to bounce off some of the historical comps going on in the kemba and playoff threads about where current players fit in among all-time greats. I know we've done this before, but stuff has changed and I wanted to see where people think now.
I'm looking for an all-time top 15, but the interesting discussion seems to be outside of the top 5. In other words, Lebron vs Jordan has been argued to death, but KD vs. Kobe or CP vs Magic seem more interesting. So I'm hoping for less discussion on Russell, Jordan, Kareem and LeBron, and more on everyone else.
I'll start with my list, but I might be the least knowledgable poster in this forum.
LeBron
Jordan
Russell
Kareem
Bird
Magic
Hakeem
Duncan
Shaq
Wilt
KD
Kobe
Curry
Oscar Robinson
Karl Malone
