“Argue with me, I dare you...”
“He led the NBA in scoring TEN TIMES! and averaged 28. 2 points per game as a ROOKIE and 30. 1 points per game over a 15 year career! That is SO amazing. He also made 51. 5 of his shots as a ROOKIE! Kobe, over 13 seasons has never shot over 46. 9. MJ also was a TEN TIME SCORING CHAMPION. TEN TIMES! Kobe, 2. MJ is a SIX TIME FNALS MVP and NEVER LOST IN THE FINALS he went 6-0. Kobe 4-2 and 1 Finals MVP. Kobe is not in my top ten. 1 MJ 2 Kareem Abdul Jabbar 3 Bill Russell 4 Magic Johnson 5 Wilt Chamberlain 6 Hakeem Olajuwon 7 Shaquille O’Neal 8 Larry Bird 9 John Havlicek... believe me they weould all eat up todays players.”
“Michael Jordan is best player in basket ball. He hadn’t gotten 100 points like Wilt Chamberlain did because he always pass to his team mates so they can have a chance to score and get a points. Jordan’s layups, dunks and shooting are impossible to block. Its amazing! Kobe Bryant is selfish he doesn’t pass to his teams well sometimes but most of the time when he gets the ball he shoots like a hog. Well he is pretty cool I like him to I’m his fan but he is the 4th best. 2nd best is Wilt Chamberlain I’m not his fan and the 3rd best is LeBron James I’m his fan.”

LeBron James
“Kobe is not better than Lebron! just older.”
“It’s obviously gonna be Michael Jordan, but LeBron will be the 2nd best to play. Some reasons why? over 10,000 career points already.. in 5 seasons. He’s the Cavaliers all time leading scorer already. And technically, he should just now be coming off his rookie season. Guys think, really now. If he’s not even in his prime yet and people are already comparing him to Jordan, whats that go to show you? at this pace, he could very easily score 35,000 points in his career, depending on how long he plays and how good he stays for those seasons. He’s been selected to four all-star games, carried the Cavs to the playoffs 4 times out of his 5 seasons, and the year they didn’t make it, the teams till improved by 18 wins. He even managed to carry the Cavs to a NBA Finals and ’06-’07 against the Spurs, who swept the Cavs in 4, but still, its a trip to the finals. And just recently, they took the world champion Celtics to 7 games, even with their lockdown defence. Thats more games than the Lakers lasted, and oh wait.. Whose on the Lakers? Oh yes, Kobe Bryant.. Kobe can’t hold his own when he’s faced with a challenging defence, as this years finals proved. While Kobe was forced to rely on his teammates, LeBron played his game, and almost pulled off a 2nd consecutive year to the finals. So people, ATLEAST get LeBron to 2nd on this list, and show some support with your votes =P”
“LeBron could kick all of yals but in a 1v1 basketball game”

“THe Big Dipper is 4 me the greatest and biggest and of course most dominant force in NBA history. He would be nr 1 but most people of this time don´t know him because he played in the 60´s. Chamberlain 100 points in one game, and he said he even get more than 100 but he wanted that lucky number 100 too stay. Best Player check out the season 1961-62, What stats you find. RIP Wilt The Stilt”
“He was simply amazing. When you look at guys like Michael Jordan and nowadays guys like Bryant and James they are breaking records and trying to set standards for themselves. It all started back with Chamberlain he was the man to make all this status and records that are held to be broken, his pro career was mid-length not as long as some basketball players but he made it is no doubt.”
“he’s the best player ever with his dunks and rebounds. In a game he has picked 55 rebounds. crazy”

“No body came close to this dude when came to court vision except for maybe Stockton. Could have taken any team to the finals by himself, best passing/scoring guard in history.”
“in one game, he played all 5 positions... I seen him throw the ball from one end of the court to the other on a buzzer beater and make it.. I love to watch him play”
“Magic Johnson is the consummate team player and a leader on a team full of all-stars. Without Magic they are like the Mavericks... great team no real victories! Magic is the best point guard to touch a basketball and winning the championship that year without Jabbar should tell you Magic never needed the help that Jordan required... clutch shot take Jordan clutch game take Magic!”

Bill Russell
“Micheal Jordan was to scoring like Bill Russell was to defense. You won’t see this guy on any all-time scoring lists, but on every top ten list in NBA history. (Not to mention 5 MVPs and 11 rings, yikes!)”
“Yeah, when MJ gets another 4 rings, he’ll have my vote.”
“defense is the most important part of the game. Bill Russell was the best defensive player ever. It all adds up”
