2:03-2:52 The reason Jordan played better teams in the first round from 1985-1989 is because his teams were usually lower seeds. Meanwhile, LeBron was helping his teams have seasons with a winning percentage of at least 60% when making the playoffs in his early Cavalier days despite the supporting cast. And before anyone says "the East was weak in the 2000s," the East was arguably worse in the 80s considering more teams below .500 made the playoffs from 1985-89 than from 2006-09

I love Melo but if I was Mike I would've played Lin no matter what

Fix that list is terrible.

I cannot accept a list of all-time greats from some young enough to use “cap” in their everyday verbal communication.

You know I never thought about how amazing his offense is until now! He was my favorite player and I only focused on is floor control and assists, but looking back he could score at anytime from anyplace he wanted!! I just subbed because I think a play button would look great on your wall!

Nash at 7 wow

check kidds later stats he was hitting 3's

Stockton is white lol

My personal argument for why hakeem is the greatest is this. Name the best teammate hakeem ever had, now name the 2nd best teammate that played with him during that time. Now ask why he doesnt have as many rings as shaq and kareem

Lebron’s from Akron, Cleveland isn’t his hometown.

I grew up watching the Miami LeHeat team, and I can I say that was the greatest prime in NBA history. He won back to back championships, the way pummels his opponents when he gets to the rim ( talking about you Jason Terry), he won back to back NBA Finals MVP and won back to back MVP’s, he was on the NBA all defensive 1st team and 2end team with the Heat, and has made 4 championship appearances with the Heat. I mean cmon man, that team and prime was Lesane

Rick Barry?

TMAC>

Wilt got to be top 3 I personally got him 1st wilt 2nd Hakeem 3rd Kareem 4th shaq 5th bill 6th jokic 7th robinson 8th Malone 9th Ewing 10th Howard As of now in 2024

Hes overrated untill he can start to win. If he can get stronger and learn to play D, id put him on my team anyday. But to me you have to atleast be competent on D to be a great player. Hes a scorer who needs a good coach. You clean up his mistakes and TOs he'll be an all star more often than not

NASH - The BESTEST point guard ever

Yeahhh you have some homework to do 📚

Bill Russell = 11x championships, 5x MVPs, 2º most rebounds of all time, average most blocks of all time (8.1), and has the most defensive win share of all time Bill Russell is the greatest center of all time

Kawhi's legacy has been his poor health, constantly failing when his teams needed him most. He had one all-time great run to the Finals and a few other really nice postseason efforts. Arguably, Pippen was the better defender, especially over more seasons, though Kawhi probably does get the nod on D. Barring those serious injuries, he would've challenged for GOAT status, but injuries change legacies. If we include the ABA production, Dr. J hands down should be 4th on this list, but even without those games, his consistency puts him over Kawhi.

Both are great players

Worthy and Rick Barry both were better than Nique. Worthy was a much better defensive player, unstoppable on the baseline, and more clutch. Barry was just MVP caliber every year of his prime, even when he tried the ABA. He was a better passer and shooter than most of the players on this list.

It's Kareem wilt Russell

No Rick Barry and Kawhi ahead of Hondo and Dr J is silly...

Dope list I dont think Harden is top 5 great list fr

Where the fuck is Jerry West?

He was a great offensive player but I appreciate players who play defense 🤷‍♂️

Lebron gotta go back to Cleveland one last time

Anyone watching this Yung Mustard video about this 7 year stretch 03-10' dont listen. I'm born bred Cleveland nga and Lebrons rookie year was a my freshman year in high school so I remember everything well and I am much more of an authority on this subject than anyone. Go to 15:10 Mo Williams was Lebrons first co-all star?? WRONG. Big Z was an all-star in 2005 and he got in off pure game not because someone was injured not to throw shade on Mo Gotti cuz he was the man but the NBA only let him be an allstar because of injuries.

Kobe Bryant is my favorite player but he's (2 )behind M.J (1)

Finally no more Jayson Tatum slander for this guy 😂😂💯💯

Shaq only won with Kobe and Dwayne Wade. Two of the best Guards of All time. Shaq isn’t winning anything with just any regular guards

2:55 HGH is a helluva drug

Ewing got 60 games because there's no real competition back then only the bulls it's only ewing it's basically one and a half star back then the bird era and bad boys is in the 80s superteams is in the 80s the 90s got barely two all stars what a dumb take

Excuses

Ever heard of Elvin Hayes? The Big E should definitely be on any top 5 power forward list, let alone top 10. Came into the league averaging 28 ppg and 17rpg as a rookie and kept going from there

Damn they went all the way to the 1 seed that prediction was far off

One of the best to ever play at the PF position, in my opinion he’s top 5 in his position ever

I’m ngl you were right about Giddey

This video is nearly 2 years old and it’s still aged very well

Bruhhh 2:30 and then he pulls this bs out 🤣 the Bulls were the lower seed from 85 - 88 and 95 of course their 1st round opponents had better records. And guess what the Bulls lost in those matchups or those years period in the 1st round or the semis. Only 2 minutes in and bro is already making biased arguments. I’m done.

Oh boy, 2:14 that argument is moot. Brons teams were either 1st or 2nd in the east.. those seeds play the 7th or 8th seeds OF COURSE their records are gonna look bad… 🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

When Mike was running the Eastern conference niggas was glazing all crazy and you never heard “the east was weak” but when Bron was running it it was? Haters don’t make any sense

Elvin Hayes is the most underrated player in NBA history. He's so underrated that not only does he not make most people's Top 10 power forwards list, he doesn't even make most Top 10 most underrated players list. And he's definitely a Top 5 PF. NBA champion 3 championship appearances 1 scoring title 2 rebounding titles Averaged 28 & 17 in his rookie year in the Bill Russell era. Averaged 23 & 11 at age 34 in 1980 in the Magic & Bird era. Was Top 4 in both career points and rebounds when he retired. Was a good defender and was ahead of his time for being a power forward with a good mid-range game. My Top 10 are: 1) Tim Duncan 2) Karl Malone 3) Giannis Antetokounmpo 4) Charles Barkley 5) Elvin Hayes 6) Kevin Garnett 7) Dirk Nowitzki 8) Bob Pettit 9) Kevin McHale 10) Chris Webber Honorable mention: Jerry Lucas, Anthony Davis, George McGinnis (if we include ABA), and I've always considered Jayson Tatum a SF but since he's played PF for the past couple of years I think it's time we add him to the honorable mention list of PFs.

Forever D Rose🌹

Bro you're wrong.

He’s a close second but second none the leas. I’m Recognizing a common theme here… Fuck affirmative action in the 21st-century..

How the hell could anyone have Kobe ranked over Shaq? Facts don’t care about feelings. If he was so great, there’s no way Shaq would’ve gotten not one… not two… but 3FMVPS.. Shaq leaves what happens? A 38 win season… he was trash til Pau came and saved the day. Let’s be realistic

There's Wilt Chamberlain then everyone else. No center has done what Wilt did. Not one!

Wilt at 5 is a joke, Moses below David Robinson really

Where is iverson,payton,rondo and personal I'm upset about D.Rose the most unstoppable PG ever
