    Top 3 is pretty set in stone, but a case could be made either way from 4-7. Good list

    Kobe
    Jordan
    LeBron
    Magic
    Duncan

    I haven't seen other players from later era's play in case if some of ya'll are wondering if I "missed someone." I watched a lot of throwback games on NBA TV when they had Magic's best games on or Jordan's. I saw Jordan play mostly when he was in the Wizards, not so much when he was in the Bulls since I was so young at the time. I'm not one of those dudes that call players "the best" & haven't even seen them play before. Those of ya'll that do that, please stop lol.

    So you have a problem with someone recognizing talent, from an earlier era? The question is "All Time", why should anyone limit that to the last 15-20 years? That completely discredits the league to put any player currently in the league, not named Kobe or Duncan, on the list while ignoring Bird, Kareem, Wilt, etc.

    Why would you include someone you haven't seen play once in your life? I know Wilt, Oscar, West, Marivich, etc are great players from the stats I've seen & videos I've watched, but I'm not putting them on my list cause I never seen them play & I disagree with you. There is people that lived to see those players play obviously, so everyone's list is different.

    Because the list is based off of our interpretations of "all time", not our opinions of what we saw in our lifetime. You admitted that you saw Jordan mostly with the Wizards, where he was nowhere near being the best player in the league, but you included him in your list. I know, throwback games...Of just Jordan, and Magic? No Bird, or no Magic in his younger years with Kareem? No Olajuwon? Malone? Stockton? Barkley?

    Do you think it's ridiculous for today's analysts to include Babe Ruth if they're talking about the greatest baseball players of all time? Or if someone puts Ali in a list of greatest boxers? Joe Montana in greatest QBs?
