@@dalevought8054 who would you remove bro? Larry was definitely a guy I was strongly considering but magic and wilt edged him out. Both have better longevity. And wilt is a much better scorer and defender and wilts biggest flaw is playoff performance but bird isnt a great playoff performer either plus wilt and magic accomplished more. What would be your argument for bird over magic and wilt? I respect it tho
@@ThisisASportsJungleWilt has only 2 rings when the NBA had 11 teams 😂. You said Bird isn't a great playoff performer but he has way better stats (if you translate them in a normal league). If we assume that normal is 100 ppg and 45 rebounds for a team then Wilt scored 15ppg and had 3 assists and grabbed 16 rebounds Because it easy to say stats and accolades but not all eras were the same. If you watch Bill Russell documentary u hear that his couch told him to not jump to get a Block😂. So Wilt played in a league were most players didn't even try to Block him. Birds stats in the same logic are 23 ppg 10 rebounds and 6 assists While having almost 50/36/90 splits. To me that is way more impressive. Especially if you add the Championships. Also is Kareem first? If it wasn't about Magic he would have 1 ring. He has MVPS but he didn't really had much competition so im not that impressed. Mj would have 6 too if he played in prime Kareem era. And MJ has as many championships while being way better in these championships (Just ask anyone wich era was the easiest and which was the hardest and you will see why people have MJ and Lebron above Kareem). Kareem literally got carried in his last 2. Karrem was good at 36 but MJ was even better so I don't think Karrem has a better longevity he just decided to play more because his team was good enough to even make the finals without him. Also every old player has a lot of blocks. It was way easier for a big man to Block shoots before the 3 point revolution (or 3 point in general). Jordan in his first 3 championships had almost no help (Scottie was a good defender but 10 ppg isn't that much). Karrem won 4/6 championships while not even being the best player on his team. And even in the other 2 he had A LOT of help. And 1 of them was when 3 point didn't exist and the NBA had 17 teams. Just look at their stats in the finals or the stats in general and you will see why despite having 6 rings they don't count as much as MJs. And believe me taking MVP instead of Karl malone or Hakeem is WAY WAY harder than talking mvp fro Bob Maccado. Anyway my point is Jordan dominante a bit more than Kareem (Karrem won only 1 championship in his prime years). But he did it in a way way harder era. Btw of course I respect Karrem and he is an insane player. But imo he dominated in years were nobody else was hood enough to dominate. (MJ's competition for the best was Haqeem, Malone, young Shaq, prime Magic, and many many more. While outside of oscar Robertson who was his teammate the only top 20 player on the 70s was Dr J and Moses Malone.) And won most of his championships while being on a team were most top 10 player would have won (Magic was the guy on those teams not Kareem. Karrem did nothing on the Lakers without Magic while Magic even went to the finals without Karrem). Especially in his last 2 he looked like a slightly above average Center. Anyway please reply i would love to learn your opinion about what i said. 😅
@@philip5454 wilt had to go against the greatest dynasty in sports history lol. And bird had just 1 more ring than wilt despite playing with more consistent talent (Maxwell, Johnson, mchale, Parrish, white, Lewis, etc.) so I don’t think the ring count is too important of a factor here. And yes I know that bird is a better playoff performer than wilt that’s why I said that wilts biggest knock is his playoff performance in terms of legacy but then I said bird also isn’t a great playoff performer so it’s not enough of a needle mover considering wilt has the massive gap in peak/prime. Wilt is a significantly more impactful player as his defense and scoring are both legendary and he’s also a pretty good playmaker (Bird only has the edge in playmaking) wilt also accomplished more and has more longevity by a lot. Also they couldn’t block wilt so it was best to not try😂 and Kareem’s last 2 he wasn’t very good but his 5th ring he was still a really solid big who the lakers knew could give them 2 points at any moment. Plus it’s more than just rings why he’s the GOAT. You can’t downplay the comp Kareem had because he crossed many eras. He played the wilt chamberlains, the Moses Malones AND the Hakeem Olajuwons. Yes the mid to late 70s comp wasn’t great but Kareem dominated even when the comp picked up in the 80s and had many MVP level seasons in the 80s. And for the MJ thing sure MJ was better than Kareem in those runs he’s the best playoff and finals performer ever most likely but Kareem in 4 of the 6 was flat out historical during those runs especially in 1980 and 71. MJ at 36 was 2 years removed from basketball lol and he came back 2 years later and was genuinely a negative impact player who probably shouldn’t have played those years. Kareem’s longevity is legitimately a million times better than MJ as he was washed after just 13 seasons AND in 2 of the 13 he barely played in the regular season. Nobody in the history of basketball has the longevity that Kareem has you can argue Lebron but Kareem’s is much more impressive given the fact that players didn’t last long in that era vs in this era players are affective at an old age we see it with Chris Paul, Kevin Durant and Steph curry. In the 70s-80s it wasn’t like that at all. Kareem was an anomaly. A top 3 scorer ever, a top 15 defender ever, one of the greatest rebounders ever, imo the greatest 2 way player ever and the greatest longevity ever while also being consistent on both ends throughout his career. He is the ONLY player in NBA history you can say all those things about. Therefore, he is the GOAT I guess we both wrote books 😭😭💯

@@ThisisASportsJungle my criteria is about winning. Chris Paul hasn't won anything not even a finals appearance though that probably wouldn't be the case if the NBA didn't block his trade to LA to team up with a prime Kobe Bryant. LeBron has done way too much team hopping, media manipulation, flopping, all while resting on defense for the last 10 years. Most turnovers in league history most missed shots in history the lack of developing players needing already proven players for him to winning dominance an ability to come up big in the clutch. While Only winning 3 conventional championship an 1 bubble ring. Great player but overrated in my book. An let's not bring up the Mavericks series he left too many winnable championships on the table
@@ThisisASportsJungle Come on bro! I respect that you took your time to make this list but Bron can’t be 3 man. He’s either 2 or arguably 1. Also! Shaq is too high and Magic’s too low. Tim Duncan’s spot is on point though. 👌🏾
@@ThisisASportsJungle The problem is we will never know, since they don't have one on one games. Plus i have no clue on how good the players were back in the day before i was into basketball. Maybe have 1-1 type games in the alstars. Another thing is, no matter how good u r there will always be someone better. A Isaiah Thompson vs MJ would be a great 1-1 match, the first person to like 40 wins.
That is because the joker got 6 championships with the support of his teammates which he will never acknowledge. Greatest ever basketball player - really 😂

Saying olajuwon played with one all star and that was just one season that was Otis Thorp I bet you never heard of him right....if olajuwon played with kobe and wade he would have as many chips as overhyped Shaq...oh well
Magic should be in the top 5. He’s the greatest team player ever and greatest passer/point guard. A 6’8” PG who could post up and rebound. He drove those Showtime Lakers consistently to 60-game plus win seasons snd championships. He made his teammates better by getting them involved with easier shots. Magic even led the league in steals and FT% in seasons. He was deadly with the hook shot with either hand and was also one of the greatest clutch shooters in NBA history.
@@Dani-ht8sd appreciate you bro means a lot🙏 it’s funny because somebody complained yesterday about no background music so it’s cool to see someone else agree with me😂
There's MJ... THEN... There's everyone else. Bird is in the Top 10 though, no question. As excellent as he is with his physical plays, he's just as good or prolly even exceeds more on mind games.
@@denniseudela411 I disagree bro I def think Kareem and Lebron have strong arguments but I can see why you feel that way. And yea bird is incredible and he just missed the top 10
@ThisisASportsJungle A lot of it has to do with the Relentlessness of MJ in Significant games where his impact just stamps like a branding iron in one's brain. You see him not give up even in defeat dude gave all he's got and only to come back on the next game with vengeance! Consistent hi-level playing and smooth forms and Air glides. A lasting, unequalled 3peats - TWICE! His shoes well-priced possessions anywhere in the world EVEN NOW from 1986 since everyone wants to bevassociated with a Topnotchbest of the best.

@@ThisisASportsJungle ... I also factor in winning and strengths/weaknesses. That separates them when you add those factors in. Lebron has quite a few weaknesses and he has lost more than he's won, regardless of what his stats may say. To me, only Kareem and MJ are debatable and I'm taking MJ all day.
Not a great list by my standards, Heres mine: 1) MJ the Goat 2) Lebron James 3) Kareem Abdul Jabbar 4) Kobe Bryant 5) Magic Johnson 6) Tim Duncan 7) Steph Curry 8) Larry Bird 9) Bill Russel 10) Hakeem Olajuwan I think Jordan is the Goat and Lebron is a close second. For me lebron is the greater player but Jordan is the better player. I think Magic is a better point guard than steph and Lebron is a better small forward than bird. Kobe is a great all around player but no MJ or Kareem. and i think Kareem is a better scoring center and has more awards and Hakeem is a better all around center and defensive one but Kareem is just better. And lastly Bill Russel spearheaded the greatest nba dynasty and is the best rebounder of all time in my eyes as well as a great leader.
@@hunter.naIIy8 very fair points bro. I can see a strong argument for all of those. I just think for Steph to be that high we gotta factor in that he’s the only one here who’s not a positive defender (magic is close but I think his versatility makes him a positive) and his longevity isn’t the greatest. I think wilt should be above bird because besides shooting and passing he’s a lot better at everything else and has more accolades as well as longevity. Also think Hakeem should be a lil higher but I respect ur reasonings forsure
@@ThisisASportsJungle i mean i cant put Russel over Dirk because i have never realy seen him play and he played a diffrent basketball then we do today and is like an era with an weird meta and backboard hahaha and i woulnd put Hakeem above him cuz Dirks Years of dominance and his offensive game is more impressive for me but yeah its like a very subjective thing yk

@@alvinjabboury he just missed the cut. Behind magic and wilt. To me those guys were better than curry. Magic and curry are close as players at their best but magic is a better big game player, better overall player and for wilt he was just a much more impactful player imo and also has equal or bettwr longevity
Curry is Top 10. And that is non-negotiable. And this isn't generational bias, either. I'm 45 years old so I've seen all the greats since the 80s in their prime.
@@oooohsnaaaap I think that’s a stretch bro wouldn’t you say? Curry being top 10 non negotiably means that magic, Russell, Hakeem, Kobe or wilt, etc. have no arguments over him which is wild. You can definitely argue he’s top 10 tho he’s in my top 15 forsure
@@ThisisASportsJungle I hope everyone doesn't burn me at the stake for saying this, but I think Shaq's career is a little overrated. It kind of fell off pretty exponentially after he got shipped out of LA. Ultimately dwindling down to borderline journeyman status towards the end of his career. His prime was undeniably uncontested, but you said longevity was a big criteria. He never fixed his free throws or maintain peak shape like Lebron. That's not supreme greatness to me.
@@oooohsnaaaap those are definitely fair points bro but I think people look at shaqs late career a little differently than it was. Shaq was an allnba guy at 36 in 2009 with the suns then in Miami he was still arguably the best center in the league. He didn’t fall off until he was 37 years old in Cleveland so that’s really good longevity imo. I definitely see where you’re coming from because his longevity doesn’t pop out the page like a Kareem or a Lebron or Kobe or Duncan
Think you got #1 right. He dismantled a great Celtics team in the 1985 finals at 38 y/o. After the Memorial Day Massacre, he was mocked as being too old!
@@michaelrussell4894 yep! People don’t talk about that enough bro. Imagine being 38 in a time where players didn’t last long and dominating perhaps the greatest frontcourt in NBA history
@@ThisisASportsJungle ...Hold up there fella. Let's not act like James Worthy didn't average 23ppg, 5rpg, 3apg and Magic 18ppg, 7rpg, 14apg during that series.
I explained in the video bro. Greatest longevity ever, top 5 prime ever, greatest accolades ever, imo the best OVERALL 2 way player ever, GREAT playoff performer, very few blemishes on his resume, top 3 scorer ever. When you add all that up you have the greatest of alltime
I would switch Kareem and Jordan. Kareem went quite a few years during his prime not winning any chips after he got that one in Milwaukee with Robertson (another elite all-time great player). Kareem himself in an interview stated he wasn't better than Jordan. People also want to harp on Kareem winning more RSMVPs than anyone else in history but fail to acknowledge he won one (in 1976) when his team didn't even make the playoffs, nor were they over .500. How many players from the mid 80s until now get the RSMVP without their team at least making it to the playoffs and having a decent record at that? Lastly, LA began to win again after Magic came to the team and they got the players they needed to get them over the hump. Regardless, if people put Kareem above Jordan, that is cool.
Very fair arguments. I have Kareem and Jordan interchangeable meaning I can literally swap them out any random day lol. Also yes Kareem was missing the playoffs but he was playing the best and most impactful basketball in the nba his teams just weren’t very great most of those years
Wilt #10 and no Bird? I heard your criteria but the criteria leaves truly great players off your list. Greatest post season players Michael Jordan? Really Russell has 11 rings in 13 seasons
By post season performers I mean individual impact in big games and playoffs and how you maintain your production from the regular season to the playoffs
Kareem is the most disrespected all-time great. Many people don't even have him as top 3 or even top 5. He's not my goat as I have MJ and LeBron ahead of him but he could def still have a case and should be at least top 3 in everyone's list. Nice video.

@@BrevinJones8346 well first thanks bro lol. And curry was definitely amongst the last to be left off. Wilt was my 10th and wilt was a slightly better scorer than Steph, and was a million times better on defense, has better accolades (although I’m not too high on accolades) and imo has a little better longevity (when factoring the era) curry is the better playoff and finals performer forsure but imo that’s all he has on wilt career wise. And I’m sure magic Johnson would be the other guy you replace him for but I just think for everything that matters in a career magic has over curry. A better playoff and finals performer, better big game player, better playmaker, defender. Their primes are 50-50 in terms of who’s better and longevity is also pretty 50-50 so you can forsure argue curry over magic but I definitely disagree 💯
@@DanielGandia-yp1ci nah bro wilt matched up against legendary bigs. Nate Thurmond, Willis Reed, bill Russell, etc. When you factor in how many great bigs there were back then and how they only had 12-14 teams throughout his career means he was matched up against legendary big men more than most other centers. But I respect your opinion
@ThisisASportsJungle I thank you for actually being chill cause some other people aren't chill also I respect your opinion too but I still think you did some wrong things here as you put magic instead if curry. Magic had git drafted on a great squad and won a ring his first year because of that team (yes ik he played center for Kareem) but there were more stars on that team aswell while curry had to fight for the championships a bit more and wasn't drafted on a good enough squad to make the finals alot
While I definitely have some disagreements with the list, I must say that I respect your list and I also respect that you gave very good reasoning for your rankings. This is a very solid video. I agree with the two men at 1 & 2, I would just reverse the order. The elephant in the room for me is the absence of Larry Bird. With the 10 that you selected, it would be hard to pull someone out but to put in Larry Bird I would have to knock Shaq down to number 11. Excellent work, sir!
Thank you man means alot! And yea bird not having bird was a tough call but the 10 ahead JUST beat him out by a little. But I definitely see an argument 💯🙏

I understand your picks but i disagree with how you measure greatness. To me your list is the best players of all time but I think the greatest of all time is different. Like to me lebron is probably the best basketball. But mj is greater. More legendary more iconic therfore he is higher all time. With this logic my top 5 greatest all time is: 1: MJ 2: Kobe 3: Bron 4: Steph 5: Kareem
Nah bro I tried to shy away from letting the “best” be the ultimate deciding factor. I mainly tried to make it about career but I can see where you get that since a lot of this list is measured by evaluating these guys impact wise and less about accomplishments but I tried to factor in longevity and playoff performance a ton
Well, I kinda have a problem with this list as follows: - I would never put Lebron as better than Kolby and I definitely would not put him 3rd all time. -And Larry Bird is not on this list?? Why?? Larry is definitely better than Lebron. - and Jorden should be #1.
Pretty good list. I agree that it's hard to put Magic on this list and not Larry Bird. It's hard for me to put Kareem above LBJ-- the argument for both of them is based so much on longevity and counting stats, and at this point even the haters gotta admit that LeBron has been doing it at the highest level longer than anyone. So, yeah, I'd go MJ 1, LBJ 2, KAJ 3, then swap out Bird for Hakeem, then we're getting somewhere. It's a tough call to leave Steph out, he's arguably been more impactful on the sport than any of the people here. Problem with a top 10 s that there are only 10 spaces and there have been a lot of truly great NBA players.
@@ezrafreeman9011 very fair points bro. But for me magics big game (playoffs, finals, game 7s) dominance is far superior to bird and he likely has slightly better longevity and consistency so I put him a little higher. Kareem and Lebron is very interesting because their arguments are pretty much the same but I go with Kareem because until he was like 39 he was always a very good defender while Lebron stopped being a super impactful defender in his early to mid 30s. Plus Kareem has less blemishes on his resume. Yea exactly lol there’s just so many great players that there’s 15 guys you can argue to be in the top 10
I think he’s the BEST player ever but greatness wise I have Kareem slightly ahead for longevity and he was consistent on both ends his whole career while also not having any blemishes
kobe over lebomb. Kobe won 5, Kobe won 2 without shaq. Kobe won 2 chips without a top 75 player. Kobe didn't need a superteam to win finals. Unlike lebomb.kobe never team hop like lebomb.
Kobe has a better win loss record in the finals Kobe beat more 50 win teams more times than any player in history, For a guard Kobe has the highest assists 9 times first team all defense, Kobe helped the 08 Redeem Team Kobe has 5 Championships 3 in a row straight then goes back 3 more times wins 2, All Bron has is individual awards.

They were not trash. U clearly font know what ur talking about. Russell is arguably the best defensive N.B.A player ever and won 11 titles and Wilt holds damn near every record in N.B.A history they even made rules to make it harder for him to dominate. Do ur research before u wanna talk like that about those legends. R.I.P to them both. Also ur delusional Curry is NOT top 5 all time. Although curry is the best shooter ever hes not a good defender.
