Used to hoop with Chris Matthews way back in the day. Totally forgot about him tbh. Glad to see he's doing alright. What's Austin Freeman up to these days?

[ahat]

Giannis at 27 tho. And i thought there was some bad takes in here

 

[rolaholic]

Giannis top 30 all time already??

 

[pmatic]

CBS did their own rankings too:

 

[ballinsam23]

His career is basically over. Gonna be Memphis Iverson for the next 5 years

I'm always here for the Harden slander. He's just gonna be trotting along chucking away for the next 5 years

Memphis Iverson
Knick Carmelo
Orlando Carter
Dallas Monta

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Is it me...or is this the opposite of paying respect?

 

[MVP]

Steph, Kawhi and Giannis too high
Zeke and AI too low

 

[B Sox]

Giannis ahead of Harden makes no sense. Years down the line? Sure. Now? Nah.

 

[QU!K]

Steph should be 15-20
Kobe should be 10-15
but because he passed away they gonna bump him into the top 10 :/

One of those things is not like the other.....

Memphis Iverson - 3 games before a trade then 25 more games before retirement
Knick Carmelo - 7 seasons as an all-star before a trade, a season as a starter, anomalous 10 games off the bench, blackballed for a season, returns as a starter, still playing
Orlando Carter - 1 and a quarter seasons before a trade and a decade as a role players
Dallas Monta - 2 seasons as a starter before a trade, a season as a starter and a season predominantly off the bench before retirement

If anything Knick Carmelo is the only one that makes sense. Sometimes ya'll go too far like Jordan with his teammate abuse

On your list, who you got over Kobe if he's 10-15.

Na I know, I just despise Harden's mindset. Talent wise he's arguably up there with KD, his decision making is terribly bad though. Not a fan of the chucking and shot selection.

Partly blame MDA for making it worse than it was.

 

[nick.]

Which arbitrary list are we getting mad at today?

This is for both that Academy and you QU!K

 

[WASHED KING]

I'm not mad at the CBS list.

Kobe getting the posthumous bump.

It is what it is.

"Talent wise with KD" nah, B a bridge too far.

 

[equality]

Can anyone guess what this list is?

JJ Redick
Greg Anthony
Clyde Drexler
Karl Malone
Wilt Chamberlain

I try not to play market bias, buuuuut I feel like Duncan would be higher if he landed in a larger market. The stats, rings, context, longevity, etc just screams top 5-6 of all time.

 

[ill steelo]

Yikes

They do this every single year

Or if he wasn't boring as **** and in an era with two of the most popular athletes of all time.

clearly they don't want to either share profits of the trademark or pay more for the trademark.
business as usual.
