2nd Best Player Ever

[TheSilencer1313]

Interesting pick, why?

The guy had "in the gym range", and could make and create any shot he wanted on the floor.
He had MJ and Kobe-esque accuracy, Stockton-like distributing ability, was a Wade-like finisher at the rim, and was the innovator of flashy basketball play.
And he did it way before all of the aforementioned.

I voted for the Dream. I think he was the best all-around Center ever.

Nice, apparently you seconded my vote.

Much appreciated.
Not many around here like my answers. Haha

Well you should atleast include LeBron in the poll. He IS better than Kobe.

lol, seriously?

 

[MVP]

I voted Bird. Guy was not even 10% athletic as Kobe, Jordan, Lebron but found a way to be dominant and win rings. That to me is more impressive then just bullying your opponents with physical and athletic advantage.

Wilt. Guy could score at will and was an unbelievable penetrator (if you believe him).




Seriously, as much as I HATE, ABSOLUTELY HATE the Lakers, I have to vote for Magic. No one was as versatile. He could have been a star at any of 4 positions and even played center in a playoff game. I may hate the team and have no respect for him as a person, but the guy was an incredible player.

Russell, on his ability to win alone.

 

[NUMBERICA]

Or Kareem? Magic and Hakeem are firmly in the race as well. **** Wilt Chamberlin.

 

[Saint Cy of JFC]

I would say either Kareem, Magic, or Bird. I voted Magic.

I love Larry Bird, his game is so interesting to watch, but it doesn't show up in highlights. You have to watch a real game in order to grasp just how good he was.

Magic won 5 NBA championships, 3 NBA MVP's, and a Finals MVP as a ROOKIE (something not even MJ did). I believe he made his team better in a way the league had never seen before; he has history's greatest career assist average (11.2 per) and was arguably the greatest vocal leader ever. In my opinion, his style of play and the Showtime Lakers brought national attention to the NBA like it had never seen before. He was one of the most versatile and exciting players to ever watch...and yeah, he won. A lot.
