Larry Bird #6 Best Player Ever?
 
Top 10 NBA Players of All Time | WeDoLists - Top 10 Lists for People Who Sometimes Think

The list seems to be loaded with Lakers, but at least a few Celtics seem to have made it.

I'd put Bird before Kobe...guess I'm biased.

Not a Celts fan or Lakers hater, and even I have to say that having Kobe ahead of Bird is a little crazy.

LeBron doesn't have the career yet, but he's been a better player than Kobe for a while now. Kobe that high is silly.

I'd also have Russell ahead of Wilt.

Absolutely. It was a ridiculous ranked list.

No one before or after made basketball so suspenseful. When he(Jordan) took over a game, it was seriously over.
Wat?

I ain't arguing Jordan's ability to take over a game, but wouldn't having that ability make the game NOT suspenseful?

I also got a kick out of Wilt never fouling out because he was so composed, that it was not at all about his refusal to play defense.

On the surface it's easy maybe for us to say Kobe does not belong in that position ... the punk and jerk thing. But he does have 5 rings and those rings were not all with a team loaded with talent. I can't stand him but part of me says maybe he is better than Bird or Magic ... maybe.

Magic has 5 rings also but his teams were stocked with HOF players ... 3 I think?

The last 2 years only Kobe is a HOF player on his current team.

Bird has 3 rings but won them with 3 other HOF'ers.

He also won them against a couple of other guys on the top ten list -- and a bunch of HOFers besides. The Kobe era doesn't have that type of competition.

Surprised he isn't #4 or even #3. He can kick Kobe's butt no offense to Kobe or Lakers fans!
