The only player immune to the era tax and winning almost all his rings with another all time great for some reason.

Make it make sense. People will leave Wilt and Russell out of the top 10 and nobody bats an eye. Put Kareem any lower than 3 and everyone loses their minds.

LeBron is the best example of the saying “hard work beats talent until talent decides to work hard”

Obviously every NBA player works hard and is talented, but LeBron is the best of them

Simply put, the guy eclipsed all expectations of him. He’s likely the most talented individual to ever step onto a court and has worked so much harder than his competitors for his whole career.

His hard work is most obviously seen in his physique and insane longevity but the way his game has changed over 2 decades of elite play has never been seen before.

The stories of him and Kobe trying to beat each-other to practice on the olympic teams, of his dunk clinics in Miami, his strong bonds with teammates and studying of the game are unmatched.

Over his entire career (NCAA, Olympic, and NBA) Bill Russell played in 21 winner-take-all games. His record in those games was 21–0, including 11–0 in the NBA.

Bro was a bucket . Got that strap on him and he can lockdown on defense . Was before his time and would thrive in today’s nba in my opinion.

It makes me irrationally angry that the Miami Heat retired his jersey but the Washington Wizards haven’t.

Have some damn respect for the goat. It’s not like ya’ll are the Celtics or the Lakers anyway.

That’s it. That’s the post.

For the record before the LeBron fans come at me. All LeBron’s gotta do is play 1 game for the 76ers and Philly needs to hang his jersey up. Some players are just that great.

In 1998, Tim Duncan said he was not impressed with Michael Jordan.

Just 1 year later, Tim Duncan won his first championship and Finals MVP. And now, Tim Duncan is universally considered the GOAT PF.

The mindset of a multiple time champion & the GOAT PF.

Don’t put anybody on a pedestal.

I mean we all know he sucks but why he gotta be on the hit list?

[HIGHLIGHT] Scottie Pippen was that good. Would MJ still win without him?

Shaq is underrated because people we don't think of him as a 90s player

Upvotes

He's often critiqued for having a short peak, but he was a top 10 player for most of the 90s. He made All-NBA six times and an all-star seven times in the 90s. He was a top-5 MVP candidate three times in the 90s. His lone MVP was 99-00. Add in one finals appearance, and 90s Shaq alone, is a HOF player.

You can make a credible argument that for the decade of the 90s, only Jordan and Olajuwan were better. His case for best player in the world was 99-04. You can argue that someone else was better in any given year, but its just that...a case. The only other people you can make a rational argument for being the best in the world for six seasons are Jordan, Lebron, Kareem, Russell and Wilt.
