    The thing I find odd is when people rate Wilt lower than Kareem yet Kareem has stated that Wilt would have destroyed him in his prime and Wilt is the only player to ever block Kareem’s sky hook which reminder is 10 feet 11 feet in his release point for his hands and there could be some other players who could do it besides him like Victor Wembanyama Mark Eaton Manute bol Ralph Samson Hakeem Olajuwon Dikembe Mutumbo and multiple other players probably and Wilt at best could reach 13 feet high into the air but no list is perfect

Kobe 2 windows for 5. Duncan 1.3 window for 5 (.3 for DRob). Shaq 2 windows for 4. Bird 1 window for 3. Olajuwon 1 window for 2. Lebron OTOH used 3 windows to produce only 4.

They won more than him, in less time, with MUCH LESS help, and without team hopping around making superteams. Its not all just stats..winning matters its the goal of the game.

    I'd like to see a video on NBA "game changers". I personally believe there's only seven throughout the NBA's history. - Russell (dominating & winning with defense) - Wilt (offense dominance), - Dr.J (artistry- lots of guys could do what Doc could do, but he just looked better doing it) - Magic (showmanship & winning through assists) - Jordan (total dominance on both ends, advanced artistry, showmanship & winning) - Dirk (1st big man,6'10"+ who dominated away from & facing the basket & a sniper from long distance) - Steph (great shooting from distance & in the paint) *A.I. was a culture changer & meant more to the fans around the world, but not a game changer (Isaiah was doing similar stuff & winning more). Everyone else were/are great basketball players, but didn't change the game. Guys like Kareem, LeBron & Shaq didn't do anything to change the game. Kareem created an unstoppable shot, but so did Bernard King, Dirk, George Gervin, & Tony Parker. *Kyrie is almost a game changer & a culture changer, but not quite.

    @@ejkboxing Nothing to change? Mikan’s influence is pretty commonly cited as the reasoning behind the initial widening of the lane, Goaltending, and the shot clock. I assume that being the first superstar doesn’t count for changing as that’s more outside the game. But he’s also (from what I’ve found) one of the first bigs and the first really dominate one, something which definitely changed how teams worked for quite some time. If you’ll allow post career influence, he’s also the one who adopted the 3pt line into the ABA. (Not created though, common misconception but the first league with a 3pt line was actually the ABL a different league that had one season in the early 60s) Again, unless you’re being rather strict on defining NBA, I’d argue Mikan is one of the most influential individuals on basketball ever. Also, another name that came to mind for consideration is Ron Arrest. The Malice at the Palace changed how the NBA conducts officiating, security, and even alcohol sales from what I recall.

    @@cratwinterz200 The NBA making changes to produce a better product doesn't count. Game changer means coaches, players & GMs change the way they're doing things because that one guy is killing them with his game changing style of play & performances. Mikan's style of play didn't make other players want to do what he was doing, or make coaches make special game-plans or make GMs look for another Mikan. Every center who came after him was better than him. You can't say that about any of the game changers. Guys were able to copy their styles & moves, but not become better than them. Meaning, better at what they did to change the game. Post career doesn't count since all players don't get to be execs for the NBA or rival leagues at the end of their playing careers. Also, Why would you only cite Ron Artest for the Malice in the Palace? There were fans (the instigators) & other players involved in that.

Bird 7. Duncan 8. Kobe 9. Shaq 10. Curry I put Russell 3rd because I can’t get over 11 championships in 13 years. He wasn’t the best offensively but he knew how to win and I value that a lot. He dominated Wilt who was the most dominate in history. I put Magic above Kareem because he was the better player on their team when they went to 9 finals together. I have Bird above Duncan because he had the higher peak with 3 consecutive MVPs and was better overall even though he doesn’t have the higher career stats having only played 13 seasons.

    You gave the politically correct answer with Lebron at 2. But realistically, Lebron is the only one out of the top 10 with a losing record, and only one to team hop around making superteams. Without that Kyrie and Ray Allen shot Lebron is 2-8. Others won more, in less time, with less help, and without constantly switching teams to team up with different all stars.

    LeBron has the most points but Kareem has made the most baskets and it's not even close. In fact the moment when LeBron reaches the 40,000 point mark, Kareem will still be the all-time leader in Field Goals made. That alone keeps him in the goat conversation. After all, putting the ball in the basket is what it's about, right.

    If I had to go with a certain metric it would be awards but I mix in prime numbers/peak skill and I think the player that’s slept the most on by using EFG is Kobe. He took 4.1 threes a game. Vs MJ shooting .5 a game. So basically if you look at Kobe’s 2pt % from 00-13 it’s great. MJ like outside of three years in that time period meaning he would most definitely average 46.5-49% reg FG in that time span. If you look at Kobe vs Mike EFG. It’s 48.3% vs 50% not far off really especially if you don’t count Kobe’s last three szns he would be 49. Something % Mike for his career if 49% so Kobe if taken 3’s in to account was very close to being as effective as MJ from shooting the ball at least from 00-13 outside 3 years (04, 05, 12) and Kobe’s defensive advance numbers I get but Kobe was more of an on ball defender a great one too. And the coaches vote so it’s very unbiased when your rival coaches that are all nba legit coaches vote you into all D teams. Imo. Kobe outside of one year in 2000 deserved to be on the all NBA second team defense 100% & 00 being first team. Just going off numbers. That’s still pretty good. Maybe not that impressive. But with the second most all d team selections. 2nd most all nba teams. More pts than MJ asts than MJ. With the same TS% as Timmy D I’d say he was effective and like I said I think for players like harden, curry and Kobe EFG is a little more telling reg FG is a little misleading if you take 2.5 plus threes a game. In short resume wise with a sprinkle of skill I think it’s 1. MJ 2. LBJ 3. Kareem 4. Kobe 5. Timmy D Imo 4 & 5 can go either way I think Kobe’s the most skilled player ever by far plus went to two more finals than Tim so I give him the slight edge at 4 but really 4-6 is great for Kobe any lower is just hating imo or perception on basic stats like FG%. Any hire is just going off skill or you just wanna see your fav player at 1-2 basically. Just imo 🤷

    Kobe had around 3-4 lackluster seasons in the end because he tried playing through a bunch of otherwise career ending injuries. You should honestly only consider the prime seasons for each player to really compare them, otherwise you are comparing apples to oranges. At the same time you HAVE to factor in the era they played in and up / downgrade certain numbers based on what the pace was in each era, otherwise there is absolutely zero use to even try and compare them. For example MJs numbers should be WAY increased over what Lebron puts up, simply because total average scoring numbers per game was alot lower than what we currently have, which means MJ had alot less opportunity to score that much or rebound that much because of the lower pace...

    Let's see, Legacy, just about places James at the bottom, you miss out the fact he ran from one superteam to another. When the going gets tough James goes team hopping.. he just dumped teams and moved on Then there's performance in the clutch, James is not a clutch player, when it comes down to the last two minutes of the game when teams are within 5 points, James ahoots at 20%. He's also not a very good from the free throw, around 73%. In fact James is not a very good shooter. You like looking at stats, go look at his shot chart as to where he qas shooting from. He ahot about 33% for shots from 3ft and more. The majority of his acoring was within 3ft, being layups and dunks. His longevity, he has played only 1 full season of 82 games in his career. James also sisnt make the playoffs his first two years and he has been swept in the finals, i think its 3 times now. Also James being able ro defend 1-5 is a bit over stated, maybe 2-3 and James is rarely tasked with defending the other teams best player. In fact you're lucky if he gets back on defence. And then he played in the East, at the time when the East was significantly weeker where he played against teams that were 500 and less. From 2000-2015 the west won 11-4. About 65% of the All Star players came from the west.. You haven't included playoff performances, James is rhe one player that has given up on his, passed on making the last shot or simply just bricked it. And then there's the flopping. The only player on your who has incorporated flopping into his game, mastered the skill and uses it several times a game. You know hopping from one superteam to another is significantly easier than staying with the team that drafted you and working continuosly to improve your game to a level where you achieve success.

He also doesn’t give players enough credit on defense. IMO you need to be dominant in both ends to make the top 10 - Magic and Bird just weren’t. He also discredits Wilt by saying he didn’t win enough but doesn’t consider the team of HOFers he lost to during his run. He admitted that Bill only avg 15 ppg during that run also My list: 1. MJ - I used to have Kareem higher but I think it’s hard at the SG position to be that dominant than at the center 2. MJ 3. Wilt - the single most dominant player ever. His name is all over NBA record book. We don’t penalize Lebron for losing so much so why penalize Wilt. Free agency didn’t even exist so he couldn’t cherry pick his team and teammates like Lebron 4. Lebron 5. Kobe - I give the ends to him over TD bc, again, it’s harder to be dominant at SG than PF. Also, TD played for the best run organization in sports. LA sent prime Kobe out with Smush Parker and Kwame Brown. He also said Kobe wasn’t the best but had to admit they benched Shaq bc he became a liability down the stretch 6. Tim Duncan 7. Hakeem 8. Shaq - there was no answer for him but to foul him aka Hack a Shaq 9. Magic - a wizard with the basketball at 6’9 10. Bird 11. KD - possibly the best scorer we’ve seen factoring efficiency and versatility 12. Bill Russell 13. Steph 14. Oscar

    Making a “flawless” top 10 NBA player list is a big claim. But I watched the video twice and I take no issue with the way you constructed your list and the way you used data to support the order of players. My own personal list doesn’t look too different to yours. Intangible variables like a player’s impact and legacy can be tough to measure. But if we have to use the five major stat categories, advanced stats and awards like FMVPs, DPOYs, all defensive selections, etc it becomes difficult to accurately compare older players like Wilt and Bill to more modern players. So for that reason (amongst a few other reasons) I don’t have either of them in my top 10. Well made video my man. I hope to see more in the future. My personal, subjective top 10(ish) list: 1. Jordan 2. LeBron 3. Kareem 4. Magic 5. Bird 6. Kobe 7. Duncan 8. Shaq 9. Curry 10. Hakeem 11. Bill 12. Wilt 13. Moses 14. KD 15. Oscar

    The only reason I would say the majority of people have magic higher is because he has more championships. Bird I’m sure if bird was drafted to a team with the mvp on it he would have won more birds second best player was Kevin mcHale I’m pretty sure Kareem is better then mcHale. Taking away team success I don’t really see an argument for magic being a better basketball player than bird. Also bird should have 4-5 mvps because his 87 and 88 years were better then his mvp years. I just think it’s crazy we hate on lebron Durant and curry’s rings because we say oh they a super team of course they won. Yet lebrons best all time player d wade is arguably not a top 30 player all time. And magic and Kareem are routinely ranked in the top 5 together. So I would hope two top 5 players could win multiple championships. Same thing with Kobe we say yeah Kobe has 5 rings but 3 were with shaq. There’s never this talk with Kareem or magic

    You did a complete hatchet job on the Dream. Except for Jordan and Lebron none of the others were doing any better with his cast of teammates, particularly from the late 80's to early early 90's. Not to mention the level of coaching. No Auerbach, Jackson, Riley, or Pop. The seasons he had ANY real support including his first finals, he made the conference finals or the finals. He is so disrespected in history.

    The only 2 legends that should be up for the 🐐 debate is M.J. & Kareem. In my mind M.J. is the 🐐. And this is coming from a Kobe fan. LeBron leap frogging the other legends on your list or anyone's list is just silly. We penalize K.D. for picking up 2 easy 💍💍, but that same logic NEVER applies to LeBron. 😅😅😅 Nice video. But I disagree with the order of your list. But we're all entitled to our own opinions.

    The awards and all those total stats things have to be divided by seasons played. If you want to really compare how good somebody is, you cannot really compare someone who played 20 seasons with someone who just played 11 seasons. The guy with 11 seasons played may have won every possible award each season, but the guy who played 20 won the same stuff in 12 seasons, but went without any of them in 8. You really think the guy who played 20 seasons is the overall better player? Also career altering injuries should be factored in aswell. You cannot take seasons at the end of someones career when they had injuries like a Bill Walton, or Kobe Bryant, who were basically completely different players after those injuries. What we do in those comparisons is way too simplified and will never be a true comparison.

    I find different peoples lists. Interesting. I like what you’ve done here. But they’re only five players who have ever retired as the all-time career leader in points in NBA history. Two of them did not make your top 14. I understand that going back even before Bill Russell makes it difficult to judge a player because the statistics and awards are just not there. but Bob Pettit and the first NBA superstar, George Mikan dominated their erras. Mikan so thoroughly dominated his era that the only comparisons to him are Wilt and Shaq. The league change the entire rules of the game to be able to contain these three players. That is sheer domination. Obviously scoring is not the only way to judge a basketball player. And I’m not going to argue who your top 14 are to make your cut to the top 10. But to cut out two of the clearly most dominant players to have ever played the game without an explanation seems wrong. Of course, Mikan and Pettit will not pass the current eye test. They did the best with what they had available to them. And they dominated. On the other hand, I was thrilled that you did not have James Harden, nor Kevin Garnett in your top 14. They are both self aggrandizing, front running, disrespectful chumps.

    Hi, Good list, good method But, Bill Russel and Wilt Chamberlain cannot be removed from the top ten. One had too many rings the other too many records ( regular season, come on 48.5 minutes per game for one season 80 games, is that even human, a game long 48min) Plus if Wilt didn't exist the Russel's rings would lack luster ( NBA with ten team, plumbers blablabla) and vice versa if Wilt didn't lose against Bill people would say the same kind of thing ( in fact they allready do) We're talking about greatness remember. Second, Stats tend to put LeBron too high. Wait before curse or kill me. Let me explain. First imagine If in the money time you need a hard to get bucket to win a game Who will you choose between Bron and Bird ? I dare people to say Bron Statisticly wise Bron is better but in reality you choose Bird all day. Look at Russell westbrook got pretty good stats with no rings around. True, I just defend Chamberlain because of his stats and records, that's just show you how great he was. This guy was leading in all the stat avaible his all career, and established the majority of nba's records. Back to LeBron 10 finals 4w 6d is worst than 10 finals 6w 4d from Kareem Abdul jabbar What is better 4 MVP 4 rings 4 final mvp Or 6 mvp 6 rings 2 final mvp? Lebron lead in a stat 2 times in 21 years ( scoring and passing) Kareem 7 times in his 11 first years ( rebound once scoring twice blocks 4 oh yes and they didn't count blocks his four first year) It's personal dominance on the League, lebron only dominate the eastern conf 8 years (in a raw) pretty awesome but From 99 to 2K14 the spurs and the lakers dominate the league 16 years 13 finals 10 rings Then come the warriors 5 years stretch 3rings Lebron 25ppg minimum for 20 years that's impressive Kareem more than 21.5 ppg for 17 years it's not that far Now when you look at all that are you sure that lebron pass kareem in greatness In career point yes, but Kareem scored only one 3pts LeBron 2410 Do your math. Like I said first stats tends to put LeBron too high Finally tim seems to high kobe too low Yes kobe play with shaq and magic play with kareem why only kobe is sanctionned Back then it was the lakers of magic (showtime Kareem was old not as dominant as before it was team dominance with a great rivalry with bird and the celtics ) but it was the lakers of kobe and shaq or shaq and kobe ( by the way my favorite player is shaq) Tim didn't play with a top ten player but robinson parker ginobili leonhard that's not a bad cast in 19 years plus big shot rob and Kerr not bad a all The 99 ring was on a shortened season ( fun fact LeBron got the other two shortened seasons rings) I'll not elaborate more. Thank you

    Far from a flawless list since you think possession counts did enough to stop great players from getting better numbers in later years, and especially since no one on here especially prime magic or prime Kareem that got embarrassed by Wilt when wilt was far past his prime, and guys like jordan whom aren’t half the rebounder or shot blocker or playmaker or overall defender relative to position, comes close to the goat Wilt Chamberlain whom impacted winning in every way more than the man with the most chips ever bill Russell, beat the 2 teams at their peak that won the most in the best decade ever of the 70s, and has far more tools, feats of greatness, beat far more juggernauts, holds far more records n stats n rule changes forced etc… than he has over everyone else without ever fouling out load managing or flagrant fouls around to eject his opponents from hacking tf out him in bad shoes, but other than that and the fact that you counted awards and advanced stats that didn’t do enough research or reliable enough to apply to guys prior to 1983 and 1969 rather than just the awards and advanced stats that apply to all of them equally if you weren’t going to do the research yourself or steals and blocks prior to 1973 other than those things it’s a solid decent video that took respectable amount of hard work and dedication to come up with

    Great video, but I think in the end of it all, you didn't use the criteria and the grading score and went more with the conventional wisdom. I don't take awards into account when I rank my top ten, as that is just somebody else's opinion i.e. Nash winning MVP or Kobe lol. Wilt always gets a bad rap by the younger generation, and I'm not old enough to have seen him play. But if you just look at the tape and put things in context, there is no way he is not top 5. He was the best scoring big man of all time, best rebounder, best passing big man until Jokic came along, and one of the best defensive big men or players ever. The only knock you can have on Wilt is that he didn't win more than 2 chips which by the way he won head to head over Kareem and Russell. He would have won more, but he had 7 different coaches in his first 9 years and had the misfortunate of going against the greatest, most talented dynasty ever. Also, Russell and the Celts were not old when WIlt beat them lol. The Celts won the next two years after 67'. Also, Kareem could have only won over Wilt in 1971 because Jerry West was hurt and missed the series. Guarantee that Kareem and the Bucks would not have won that year without Oscar. My main point is, if you are going to rank the best all time, you have to study all time players or what's the point. Here's a top 12 that takes into account who would win you the most, all things considered, if you drafted them at 20 yeas old: 1. Jordan 2. Russell 3. Wilt 4. Bird 5. Magic 6. Kobe 7. Lebron 8. Kareem 9. Hakeem 10. Shaq 11. Duncan 12. Curry This list undervalues stat accumulation and ignores awards
