Always a higher FG%(in 1991 by 11%), always a higher 3pt%, higher FT% in finals, always a higher defensive ranking in finals. This happened every finals they went. That was not a Kg/Pierce duo like in 08' or Bron/Wade duo in 13' where Bron and Pierce barely edged out as the MVP. Jordan dominated and made the finals his own personal playground.

And that is Magic Johnson is the only one on this list who won the championship in his rookie year and he didn't just win it against some Chumps he went up against Dr. J and a very good Sixers team!

And won finals MVP & got a triple double in game 7 with Kareem injured.

Wilt Chamberlain is the most underrated, most under appreciated player in NBA history

Ya know, I've got a legitimate question regarding Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. No disrespect to anyone here, but how is Magic Johnson consistently 3-5 slots above Larry Bird on all time lists. I wasnt around during that era but being able to watch old games and look back at both of their careers in their entirety, I dont see how the gap between Magic and Bird is that large on a lot of list. When you compare them head to head Bird was better in most aspects of the game. Scoring and rebounding for sure and, as many all time greats have noted, they are both all time great passers. Maybe Magic gets a slight edge in that one, but Bird is often mentioned along side Magic and Lebron for best superstar passers ever. Defensively neither of them were all time great stoppers, but Bird does have 3 all defensive selections while Magic has 0. The only edge I think Magic has is in 2 more chips and 1 more FMVP but is that really enough to put him 3-5 slots ahead of Bird? To me, just comparing the two directly, that seems a bit absurd. Maybe it has to do with Magic just being a more likeable and engaging personality than Bird who is often quite aloof but I dont see how the gap between those two specifically is that large just based on Basketball. Maybe someone can better explain it too me. Is there something I'm missing here?

After Magic retired, he was never considered a top 5 all-time player. His ranking on the all-time list seems to have gone up over the years for one main reason: When great players of the past 20 years are asked for their top 5, Magic is always on there. They don't mention someone like Oscar Robertson( who was better than Magic). Magic can not be in the top 5. He did not play defense at all. Probably the worst defender of any all-time great that I can think of. For that reason alone, he should not be in the top-5. Bird was not a great defender but he made a lot more plays on defense than Magic. He was also a better shooter, rebounder and scorer. Bird was a great passer as well. Magic has more assists as he was a point guard and always had the ball. The only real edge I give Magic over Bird is as a ball handler. Magic should not be ranked higher than Bird on any list in my opinioin.

Even though I said 11-20 range i'd honestly put him extremely close to the top ten and I do believe if they win this year and he gets that finals MVP that evaded him that'll catapult him into the top 10 no questions asked, easy, any day of the week. Which is very doable, and dude gets the bonus nod of being a game and league altering presence with his excellence. Pro sports doesn't have that many trailblazers and he's beyond immortalized already because of his volume and amazing 3 point shooting percentage and the range he can hit them at. A chip this year with a MVP dude is in the convo for best PG ever with Magic. His accomplishments to date are akin to Dwayne Wade's except Steph ushered in a new playstyle.

Maybe for the 100 year anniversary of the league you introduce 2 lists. Top 50 players of the first 50 years of the league and Top 50 players of the last 50 years of the league. 100 players over 100 years of the NBA.

Didn’t Wilt Chamberlain have a 48 inch vert or something??? At 7 foot that’s freakish. Maybe he was just that good.

Come on guys, Wilt did what he did wearing Converse 😂

Steph has no Finals MVPs or All-Defensive team selections. Stop hyping him!

He’s not top 10 bruh

If anyone has Lebron at 2(I have him at 7). Steph Curry better be on your top 10. He has an 24-16 record against Lebron with three title wins. KD top 10 as well.

@@DeeRG My top 10 Greatest Players Of All Time In That Order. Curry and Durant are in my top 15 right now but could change in a few years.

1. MJ 2. Kareem 3. Wilt 4. Kobe 5. Magic 6. Shaq 7. Duncan 8. LeBron

When wilt was playing the average center was 6'10

People like Jay Williams and Nick Wright will watch their idols become irrelevant too by younger kids who never saw LeBron and KD. It's just an endless debate between people from different generations thinking their gen was the best.
