Bill Walton? Dude literally had 3 mostly healthy seasons in the NBA, and one of them was a bench player for the Celtics where he got a Chip. He doesn't have any case whatsoever. His NBA career is the equivalent of Nikola Jokic; one Chip doesn't make you have one of the greatest basketball resumes; nor anything close to it.

Don't forget Hakeem Olajuwon. Three years in college, three straight final fours. Averaged a double double with 3 blocks and 2 steals a game. Never touched a basketball until a University of Houston scout saw him playing soccer in Nigeria at 16 years old.

Larry Bird as well. Took a bunch of farm kids to the NCAA championship and only lost by nine points to a stacked Michigan team with Magic and four other NBA draft picks. Nine points in college basketball is like one minute of play.

What a joke! None of those girls could have played in the men’s game and thus have no business in a top 10 of all time list! Everyone knows there should be a top 10 for the women’s game and a top 10 for the men’s game. If you can’t acknowledge that it’s only because of social pressure that you’re scared of.

I agree with something I once heard Red Auerbach say not long before he passed away. "When doing a list of the greatest college players of all time, if the list doesn't start with Pistol Pete at the top, then the entire list is questionable." :-)
No CHRISTIAN LAETTNER?!?!?!
Imagine if Marovich played 4 years with a 3 point line ta boot...c'mon
Let me guess if they made a list of the top 10 professional basketball players Lisa Leslie would be on the list and other WNBA players
Bob Cousy would average 90 PPG on Maya Moore, deadass
Why would they consider any basketball players as top 10 that don't even play in the most competitive league? There were very few people in the world better at basketball than the men on this list when they were in college. When these women were in college, there were hundreds of thousands of people in the world better at basketball than them. I don't know what this list is but this is not the top 10 college basketball players ever, this is a joke.
Melo told me he was going to syracuse to win a championship then go pro when he played against Calvert hall college high in Baltimore. This man was different from high school. 10th grade tho 😂😂
People can argue about these lists 24/7. But I'm glad that you didn't include pro careers as the deciders. Sampson and Walton were definitely great in college. Like in football, people downgrade Archie Griffin's college career because of his middling pro stats. But Woody Hayes ran him into the ground, playing on that '70s Astroturf ("painted concrete") so much so that one Bengal said he was "30 in football years when he arrived".
Before I watch, if Lew Alcindor is not #1 you can cancel this list
I CANT BELIEVE YOU LEFT OUT QUEEN SABRINA 🐥🐐
How in the world was Cheryl Miller a better CBB player than Bill Russell??
I had no idea Howard stern played college ball. But the thumbnail says otherwise...
I hope this doesn't come out wrong, but in no way should there be women basketball players here if you are going actual skill-wise.

Half of them were just taller than everybody else that played against them
Sneaking women in there like any random guy from the YMCA wouldn’t drop 100 on their team.
I get it in this case, including both genders for equality. But still just make each have their own list. The men and women don't even play against each other so it really doesn't make sense. I know the different eras of men didnt compete against each other but that's just different.

@jaydenvasquez596
4 жыл бұрын
You're joking right
*Kareem* *dissing* *Wilt* In professional basketball, Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics gave you a yearly lesson in real competitive competence and teamwork. All you could say was that your teammates stunk and that you had done all you could, and besides, the refs never gave you a break. Poor Wilt. In 1967, your team finally broke through. That 76er team established records that are still standing today. But the following year, the Sixers lost and, predictable as ever, you quit. You came out to L.A. and got with a dream team. The only lack that team had was leadership at the center position. Bill and the Celts took one from you in ’69, and the Knicks followed suit in ’70. People are still trying to figure out where you disappeared to in that series. True to form, after the Knicks beat the Lakers in the world championship in 1973, you quit and haven’t been seen on the court since. Of course, you came out every so often to take a cheap shot at me. During the sixth game of the world championship series in 1988, you stated, ‘Kareem should have retired five years ago.’ I can now see why you said that. If I had quit at the time you suggested, it would have been right after a disappointing loss to the 76ers. And it would have been typical of one of your retreats. But after that loss, I decided that I had more to give. I believed in myself and in the Lakers and stuck with it. We went on to win three out of four world championships between ’85 and ’88. The two teams you played on that won world championships, in ’67 and ’72, never repeated. They never showed the consistency that the Lakers of the ‘80s have shown. And you didn’t want me to be part of that. Given your jealousy, I can understand that. So, now that I have left, one thing will be part of my legacy: People will remember that I worked with my teammates and helped us win. You will be remembered as a whining crybaby and a quitter, stats and all. _ Clippers need this type of hatred towards the Lakers at all times. If you want to beat them, you have to hate them more. Hate them like Michael Jordan and Isiah Thomas hate each other. Kawhi Leonard and Paul George need to be triggered from all the booing they received from Laker fans while just minding their own business watching a sporting event. Hate the Lakers with all your heart. Stop being oppressed by them. Lakers = 16 championships Clippers = 0 championship Clippers still haven't won anything. Always put that in your head, Clippers. A championship is not going to fall from the sky onto your laps. You have to take it. "Any means necessary." And Lou Williams must not forget, Mike Trudell said Alex Caruso is better than him! 🤣
All I need is for Kareem to be 1. Simple
