She thought lebron would end up washed!😂😂😂
lebron is old so many better picks
Keondra Whetstone Look at his stats you clown
Yeah Lebron is the best SF ever, can’t argue there.
She need to be fired 🔥
Zech Green lmao Lakers in 5
Well this list didn’t age well
Q23 Goat unlike Lebron
Q23 Goat it’s 2015 come on
This lady prolly watches the wnba more than the nba 💀💀
lebron is a good#2 now
Yes. Barry over Lebron for one.
2015 “LeBrons going to inevitably decline”
2020- LeBron is an MVP candidate at age 35 and is leading the lakers to the number 1 spot in the west.
So. LEBRON played MOST of his years in The SORRY ass EASTERN CONFERENCE, The WEAKEST in NBA HISTORY. Still ONLY got 2 Titles. He only went to LA when The Young East got stronger for legacy sake.
He has 3 titles
Is leading the lakers to the number 1 spot in the west, well yeah with a little help and formed a strong team.
Vincent E Stone why you so mad? chill
And when it comes to championships
Jordan 6 rings stayed with the Bulls.
Kobe 5 rings stay with the Lakers.
Lebron 3 rings with Miami and Cavs.
See the difference?
She thought lebron’s numbers would drop as he aged.... 😂
He has not really aged yet which is amazing.
Yeah right he going to get better
Besides defensively.
Lol. He's only 34
@@jvaish that's old when you an NBA player
Rick Barry over Lebron. She probably stole weed from Jr Smith
😂😂😂
Picking Bird and Rick Berry over Lebron is LUDICROUS, LeBron has more than 10,000 career pts over Bird and Berry. He has 4,000 more career assists, 400 more blks, 400 more steals, and after this yr he will catch Bird in Career rebs, has higher shooing %. Bird only one thing on Lebron he was a better ft shooter and that's all. OH, I FORGOT BOTH BIRD AND BERRY IS WHITE SO U THINK THAT MAKES THEM BETTER
JomoDaMusicMan it took lebron an extra 300 games to get above those stats. Larry Bird set the small forward career triple double record in 200 fewer games than lebron. Bird had 6 seasons straight averaging a double double along with 6-7 assists lebron has never averaged a double double. 10 percent of birds regular season games were triple doubles, 7 percent of lebron’s games were triple doubles that’s regular season in the playoffs 16 % of birds games were triple doubles and 9% of lebron’s games were triple doubles in the playoffs. Bird had 2 50-40-90 seasons lebron has zero, so just because he has a better fg% doesn’t mean he is the better shooter Shaq has a .582 fg% but that don’t mean Shaq a better shooter lebron averaged twice as many free throws a games than bird and bird played in a much harder era of basketball. Lebron made 7140 out of 9701 which puts his ft percentage at .736 bird made 3960 out of 4471 puts his ft% at .886, 22% percent of lebron’s career points come from ft that’s almost 1/4 of his points while bird is 18% which shows bird was better at getting his points from the field making threes and jumpers. Bird is one of three guys to have ever won three straight mvps lebron has never done that, 25% of birds seasons ended in rings only 20% of lebron’s have ended in rings 66% of both of their season ended with them in the eastern conference final. Lebron should be ranked higher than rick Barry and lebron is the most athletic person to play basketball but Larry Bird has more basketball skills and a better basketball iq and was WAYYYY more clutch than lebron Bird would tell the other teams exactly what he was gonna do to win a game go out and then do it in they faces, lebron doesn’t have the ice in his veins that bird had in shooting or in clutch situations go watch a bird highlight tape and watch him breaking ankles, turning dudes around having no idea where the ball is and making accurate passes without even catching the ball first
@@allenfoss53 THIS SOUNDS LIKE ONE OF DONALD TRUMPS LONG LIST OF LIES, FABRICATING THE TRUTH, STATS ARE ABOUT CAREERS NOT ABOUT U PLAYED 20 YRS AND YOUR STAR COULD ONLY PLAY 10 LEBRON IS BETTER PLAYER AND ONLY A FOOL WOULD TRY TO COMPARE BIRD WITH HIM. U SHOULD BE TRYING COMPARE BIRD WITH DWADE OR 6'5" ELGIN BAYLOR AND BIRD STATS ARE FAR BELOW ELGIN BAYLOR WHO HAD MORE PTS AND 2,000 MORE REBS AND WAS 4 INCHES SHORT IN HEIGHT AND ABOUT BIRDS (3) ST MVP, EVERYBODY KNOWS HIS ROOKIE OF YR WAS A GIFT AND AT LEAST ONE OF HIS MVP'S SHOULD'VE WENT TO MAGIC. BUT HIS COUSINS GAVE IT TO BIRD BECAUSE BIRD LOOKED EXACTLY THEM
JomoDaMusicMan all that is true man you need to do some fucking research and put some serious respect on birds name. And how many years and games you play does matter especially when it takes lebron more games and seasons to match birds output. If lebron played in the 80s-90s he would be nowhere near the stats he has his rebounding numbers would be way down, points would be way down cause he wouldn’t get as many ft as well as the fact you had these 7fters who were only out there to tackle somebody’s ass and keep them from the hop he might still have good assists numbers but what bird did passing no one else has ever done this guy was just tapping balls to open guys not even catching then passing just no look tap overs. Bird led rookies in 3s made, 2 in points and ppg, 1st in rebounds and rpg for a rookie, 3rd in assists by a rookie, 2nd in steals, 3rd in blocks by a rookie, top 3 in the main 5 stats for a rookie with a 3s made kicker, magic was top 5 in those stats for a rookie but bird was top 3 for a rookie along with the 3. In all three years that bird won mvp he had more points more rebounds more steals more blocks, more 3s than magic the only stat magic was better at was assists but bird still averaged 7 assists a game. He won 2 out of 3 of his championship in that 3 year stretch DO SOME FUCKING RESEARCH.
Rick Barry over LeBron James ? Stick to politics lmaooo
it was posted in 2015 when LeBron didnt get cleaveland a championship i kinda get it why hes number 3
@josip yeah but LeBron and the heat Repeated 2 years earlier so still made no since
@Coatesville Red Raiders Did Barry ever average 10 assists a game for a year? Lebron's a better rebounder.
no u can't pick Rick over LeBron, but I may pick Rick and even Hondo Havicheck over Larry Bird and I would definitely place, Elgin Baylor way over Bird. his career was about the same, he scored more pts and was only 6'5" playing small forward and he had almost 3,000 more rebs than bird
Coatesville Red Raiders ur fucked in the head if u think Barry is better than lebron
Who immediately went to check when this video was uploaded after they saw no. 3 😂😂😂
I did, turned off after that.
I checked immediately after I saw lebron position and how tf you put Rick Barry over lebron
@Steven Singh I'm like WTF!!!!! 3?????
#3 is about right. He’ll never be better than Bird, and Baylor should have been ranked higher.
@@projoebiochem lmao lj would dominate bird
I was in a good mood until I watched this.
Fax I punched a hole through my door when I saw number 3😂
chill he had 2 rings at the time of this video lmao
You can't put Julius, Wilkins and Pippen below Pierce....
Yeah ik they abviousley don't know much basketball...
Yes u can
Pierce is better then Pippen and maybe Wilkins that's debatable not better then Julius though I will agree but you have to remember pierce got stabbed 13 times I believe in the back in 2001 and never missed a game that season for that reason at least. He led the Celtics for years before the big 3 and and is one of the greatest celtic player of all time he is my favorite player so I might be biased but
byUoNkEy well you could rank him over pippen and Wilkins but not Erving
byUoNkEy you can put Paul over Dominique, but Scottie and Julius are better.
PEOPLE FORGOT ABOUT JAMES WORTHY
EXACTLYYYY
He was a Power forward
KidDynamite25 no he was a small forward, and he’s still not on the pf list
@@KidDynamite25 Kurt Rambis was the 4.
Ikr smh
WTF happened to Big Game James????AKA James Worthy!!!!!
Dorian Holder #facts💯 🏀🏆🏆🏆
even grant hill is not on the list
Kevin Durant?
Isn’t mj a small forward I’m probobly wrong
RJB hehe SG
The greatest "What could have been" small forward - Bernard King. Anyone here get to see Bernard in his brief prime from '83 to '85, before he blew out his ACL? Among the most unguardable players ever.
No lies told, King was a matchup nightmare. The dreams I had of the King-Ewing duo.
Absolutely the first King of New York. A mega talent and wonderful to watch
I was lucky to have seen Bernard play during that brief time. There's never been a better offensive player than him, and he was doing it with badly sprained fingers on his shooting hand! Those of us who saw him play know how Great he was.
A great argument for Benard King. Truly a great scorer and all time great. No telling what could have happened if he could have stayed healthy.
But did little else but score. Not a good rebounder, passer or defender. One dimensional. And injury prone.
I think James worthy deserves a spot on this list because he was never in the spotlight cuz of magic and Kareem but always delivered his role very well
I was expecting Worthy to be top 10.
As lakers fan since 1980 l mention James worthy should be on list based on clutch play on past nba playoffs. 1988 nba finals mvp cmon now
Agree he should be mentioned.
You are absolutely right. The “Laker Break” Aka “show time” would not have existed without BIG GAME JAMES WORTHY who is a legend in COLLEGE as well as the NBA. He had one of the fastest first steps in NBA history and he was a great defender as well as great scorer. Jame Worthy was the third head of the three headed monster 👺 known as the Lakers Dynasty of the 80’s…He chose to take a back seat to Magic and Kareem to win and of course They honored that and made sure they shared the rock with him.
Yes, super under rated. Big game James.
No way paul Pierce is better than Pippen.
Tony Montana
No way Julius Erving is better than John Havlicek (8x Champion & 1974 Finals MVP)
Wft???!!!
No way Larry bird is better than lebron
Dumisa Tony Johnson yes he is You’re buggin
Ben DC4L yes he is are u on something look at stats
All #1’s by position:
PG: Magic Johnson
SG: Michael Jordan
SF: Larry Bird
PF: Tim Duncan
C: Kareem Abdul Jabbar
Good list, except I hate jordan. My list-
PG- Magic
SG- Reggie Miller
SF- Bird
PF- Sir Charles
C- Kareem
Nice lineup. If I got asked to select a 13 man roster assuming they were alive and in their own primes, it would go like so:
PG: Stockton/Magic
SG: Jordan/Drexler
SF: Bird/LBJ
PF: Malone/Barkley
C: Shaq/Chamberlain
Bench: Nowitzki/Olajuwon/Havlicek
Just missed the team: Duncan/Pippen/Kidd
@@sethbush509 nice pick with The Glide
This is my exact list.
Lbj's numbers will drop dramatically as he ages
Lbj: hold my beer!
Hold my championship
Hold my belt
pierce over pippen... really?
Yeah it's really not even close. Pippen over Pierce any day of the week and twice on Sunday
Coatesville Red Raiders Pierce is not even a top 10 small forward my guy. Giannis is only 25 and already passed up Paul Pierce
Coatesville Red Raiders What you mean he hasn’t done sh*t? If anything Pierce didn’t do sh * t until he got Garnett and Ray Allen. Giannis has a MVP over Pierce and he’s bout to win MVP again and DPOY.
Even Kawhi’s better. Kawhi’s already a top 5 small forward ever.
You also can’t convince me that Pierce is better than Pippen ,Wilkins and DJ.
1. LeBron
2. Bird
3. KD
4. DJ
5. Kawhi
6. Scottie Pippen
7. Elgin Baylor
8. Giannis
9. John Havlicek
10. Human Highlight real
11. Pierce
Pierce is really not that good if you think about it. He ain’t even a top 50 player of all time
MomJessicaandJordan Richardson It’s Either You’re Too Young, Or U Forgot What Paul Pierce Used To Do To People🤦🏾♂️😭
@@_1luljayyy your smoking crack
"Lebron's inflated stats will dramatically decrease with old age..."
This aged well...haha
Just like lebron
Julius Erving is way to low
Elgin Baylor,is one of the most underappreciated players of all time!!
Elgin didn't win a Title, but was the most feared player in his time. The man had an unbelievable offensive game, and was dominant on D. Hell, let Jerry West tell it.
No doubt, great ball player. Scoring, rebounding, and excellent
passer as well.
Absolutely. Red Auerbach who coached against him said he's the most dominant player he ever coached against. He said they could double team Wilt and hold him to thirty points. Couldn't do it to Elgin. He scored a playoff record 72 I believe against the Celtics. In one game, Red took the clipboard, smashed it down and said......"Can't anyone stop that son of a bitch!!!!!" He averaged 30 plus points per game until a bad knee injury in 65. He still averaged about 24 a game and was still a great player but who knows how much greater he would be rated without that knee injury.
@@jaytf1231 Hey, thanks for the comment. I'm old enough to have watched Baylor in his later years; both in the arena and on television. 2 players that would've been comparable superstars like M.J. and Lebron in today's era? Elgin Baylor and Wilt Chamberlain.
Hold on
Where’s John Havlicek?!
7x Champion
74 Finals MVP
10x All-Star
Celtics all time scorer
One of the 50 greatest players in NBA history
NCAA champion in Ohio State
Top 20 pick
Wow. 74 Finals MVP
I think they might have counted him as a PF
@@picafavo3466 if you're not counting Havlicek as a SF I would think he'd be a SG
@@jeremyleveille1532 hes a powerforward i think
Paul Pierce is not better than Pippen. Sorry don't agree.
Pipen wish he was as skilled offensively as Pierce. Now other areas you may have a case. She did mentiom that Piece was good on defense as well.
+Michael Washington On your point of offense I agree but Pierce is slightly better but, Pippen's Defense makes him the better player, because Pippen isn't just slightly better than Pierce in Defense....is by alot. Pippen's mentally and dedication on the defensive end makes him the better player. Also he is a better all around player than Pierce. I'm sorry but I don't agree with her.
Did you hear say the defensive rankings? I think Pierce is just a notch below Pippen when using advanced metrics.
+Michael Washington advanced metrics doesn't include stopping the offensive player getting the ball on his hands, which Pippen is excellent in doing also Pippen defends 5 positions....5!......Goodluck Pierce defending on a PG which clearly he can not do. So that is why I say Pippen's Defense is by alot....well that was one of the ways the Bulls won 6 championship, enough said.
Lol i bet you have Pip as a top ten players of all time too. Dude is top 65-70 really. Pip is a all time great defender no doubt but he is not as good as you think he is and she highlighted that very well. That why a Pierce vs Pip debate is fine
NO WAY LEBRON IS 3 I mean I love THIS CHANNEL BUT NO WAY LEBRON IS 3erd
This was made in 2015
JaCrispy 97 wasn’t true then
@@nalimlattarai2873 Yeah I know but it's more understandable than if it was a new video
nalim lattarai it definitely was true then lol
It was before the 3-1 comeback and while bron was def one of the greatest individual talents at the time he still hadn’t surpassed Bird then
Vid was made in 2015, if it was a 2017, 18 or 19 vid, he would’ve been No1
Erving could have had better numbers ,but he was told if he wanted a NBA title he would have to sacrifice his individual game for team game!
I agree with you wholeheartedly. The sad thing is that Dr. J’s ABA days aren’t included. He was unstoppable and was still dangerous in the NBA. Because he was such a superb athlete he played 17 years ( I think 🤔 💭??)and his teams never missed the playoffs. Yes you are correct he sacrificed his personal stats for the good of his team. Jordan and a lot of the players now do not have that mentality ( accept for Curry, Clay and Green )to sacrifice for the good of their team. I put Julius ( the Doctor) Eeeerving!! top 2 all time.
✌🏿peace
Tony Snell should be #1
+Serge Iblocka nah, Luke Walton deserves it
+stryderzer0 otto porter can beat them in otto pilot mode
Paul Pierce is WAAAYYYYYYY to high.
On this list Paul pierce the 2nd highest scorer behind Lebron
Good Choice I agree totally. Larry is a top 5 player of all time. He had that killer instinct that most don’t have.
After you put Paul pierce over Scottie I subbed them unsubbed
Don't
Pierce was better than scottie stat wise bro bro
Pierce is better than Pippen. You probably jumping on the Pierce hating bandwagon
M Performance naww some people don’t understand the diffrencw in judgement of legacy and judgement by numbers
And you’re an idiot
DELETE THIS WHOLE VIDEO. TRY AGAIN
Tim Martel I detect rage...
Paul pierce?????
Tim I get the fact of Larry Bird being better than LJ but RICK BARRY OVER LEBRON?!WTF?!
I agree this video is about young people who play popularity contest how can Paul Pierce better than Havlichek Dominique Pippen Dr J when people disrespect DRJ don't listen to them if Baylor had won lets say 3 or 4 championships we would have a whole new conversation that's all that's missing from his resume Chamberlain Pettit and Russell kept him and West from wining championships
I agree... The last 5 are wrong
I'm genuinely surprised John Havlecik isn't on this list.
me too
They have Rick Barry number 2. They are fucking idiots.
True
This list sucks
The list is a complete joke without Hondo.
BIRD is my man 👍
This list is perfect
I so confused on where u put all these players then I realized oh this was published December 2015 yeah it’s 2019 now
same aye
Even then, i still wouldn't put Rick Barry at #2 or pierce/Pippens above Julius like wtf? And she didn't even include John Havlicek who's DEFINITELY better than English, Dantley, Wilkins, Pierce etc etc this list is still fucked up lmao
Even in 2015 you ain’t bout to tell me rick Barry or Larry bird better than lebron. Then the reason she gave was just stupid af. Who is this person? They don’t know shit
Dubgotti Larry Bird is better then LeBron better teammate better scorer better rebounder much tougher great team defense just a better baller then LeBron
@@unseatedtree3955 better score yeah LeBron had a scoreing title bird had 0 LeBron averages 27.4 which is even more than KD and bird average 24. 3. and LeBron shot better from the field. LeBron was a better passer too
Bird has the highest basketball IQ of all time
+bugsy101073 without question
Magic holds that title.
Interesting
+Agentbacon13 he was a point guard, but still that is terrible
Steve Nash is in the Conversation
John Havlicek was a better player then Paul Pierce.
I would also take James Worthy over Pierce.
Loved Havilcek
Im not going to lie This channel is how I Started to know who nba players were and How i started to get a lil knowledge on the Game of Basketball and get more and more into it 5 years ago😭🙏🏾
Pippen , Pierce , Elgin over Dr. J ? Are you on Zanax?
No Elgin is better
I can't agree with LeBron's placement because your arguement that he hasn't played enough isn't valid when compared to Bird. He has already played around the same number of years as Bird so by your logic Rick Barry is 1 and Bird is 2. I know Lebron's numbers are inflated right now but like what you said about Elgin Baylor, you can't blame him for being good.
+Max Eng So true was going to post something like that :D
+Max Eng Bird was injured when he was seemingly in his prime. And once he returned he was old. The average NBA lifespan at that time was a lot lower, so it's not really fair to him. Not to mention Bird was 23 in his rookie season, LeBron was 18. And the Elgin Baylor argument and LeBron's are different. They're saying you can't blame Elgin because the era he played in, and his competition. They're saying LeBron is at his pique, and is probably now just declining. Slowly we'll see his stats decline and flatten out.
Labrons physical ability is to good to believe. If you break down the mins he's played, and how hard he plays yada yada.. It all adds up to one thing.. PED's. he's on da juice. Look at his b4 and after pics on the Google. I mean hey, if we can accuse Barry bonds of PEDs based on picks, why not bron bron lol, but seriously, he's a freak of nature, it's hard to fathom how much this guy plays and how his body changes but don't break down.
+TELEthruVOXx give him the benefit of the doubt though. never tested positive for anything and has never even been linked to people associated with PEDs. and looking at how built he was as an 18yo kid, im not surprised at how fit he is now. also he doesnt get enough credit but i know he is one of the hardest working players in the league. kobe gets praised for it and rightfully so, but lebron has been putting in the work and taking care of his body since the beginning.
It's arrogant to say he may be juicing. That's horrible, and completely unfair of you. And I hate LeBron's game
Scottie underrated as hell she didn’t mention his defense once , he’s top 4
She said he was Robin, but which one? So he is not underrated
Firas Massadeh him and mj aren’t robin and Batman they are Superman and Batman

@@Brian-cl7lu What? No he is not i would switch larry bird and lebron he accomplished more than lebron in fewer seasons.
@@injailoutsoon5299
That's because he was a 24 year old rookie while Lebron turned pro immediately after highschool. By the time Bird was getting kicked out of college by Bobby Knight, Lebron was leading the league in scoring and by the time he was a rookie, Lebron was carrying his team in the finals. Anyways, Lebron has 4 MVPs and 3 FMVPs while being s better scorer, better distributor and better defender than Bird.
GREAT LIST but BIRD WOULD KILL LEBRON ! & he DON'T play D. LEBRON is NOT THE #1 Small Forward in History & he DEFINITELY is NOT The G.O.A.T. Love Havlicek(HM) but English got Him.
You are little kid or bronsexual if you put lebron over bird.

2) LeBron
3) Erving
4) Baylor
5) Barry
6) Pippen
7) Wilkins
8) Durant
9) Havlicek
10) Pierce

LeBron can be loved or hated but He is a great player, don't be blind and admit it
+Raffaele Cantisani exactly people love to hate
+Raffaele Cantisani I agree but switch Barry with Wilkins and put pierce at 8 and have Durant last
I don't understand how you neglect stats when The Doctor played in the ABA, but not Rick Barry. Julius should easily be number 2 because he scored over 30,000 career points, had over 2,000 steals, has more win shares, and more win shares per 48 mins. They should be switched. LeBron and Elgin Baylor should be switched. Other than that, very good list.
To add, Scottie and Paul Pierce are a little overrated also.
+Luke Olander Havelicek should be on this list somewhere.
+Luke Olander We did take Barry's ABA time into consideration, but we didn't feel the switch from the ABA to the NBA was as dramatic for Barry in terms of performance as it was for Erving. (There were a few other details we considered, but that's a basic answer.) As for "neglecting" the ABA stats, it's really just a technicality. We're ranking the top NBA small forwards so we felt it was only fair to rank them based on their NBA performance. We were mindful of their ABA performance while we were making the list so we didn't go completely blind to it, as you'll notice by the fact that we highlighted several of Dr. J's ABA accolades.
+Mixed Tape Videos I don't think ur list I'd good lebron should be first
+Lance Mason Where he belongs. Not in the Top10...
Excellent list!!
LeBron is first period even when making this old video
eadekolu so there’s not even a debate with Bird?
Justin Abelman no wtf

Top 10 SF (updated August 2016)
1) James
2) Bird
3) Erving
4) Baylor
5) Pippen
6) Barry
7) Wilkins
8) Dantley
9) Pierce
10) Havlicek
Love what Dantley did, but Hondo and Pierce were far better overall (D, passing, ball handling, running the floor).
When i saw Pierce over Pippen i stopped watching.......
Kostas Andreadis when I saw Pippen over Julius I stopped watching -__-
When i saw riCk over lebron sropped watching
Bird is on my starting 5 and If my goal is to win, bird is the the one small forward I would want.
She said Elgin Baylor played in the "Good Ole Days" lol!!! Hilarious
Her "whiteness" is showing...
Pierce over Pippen?? You're joking..
Lmao your just a Celtics homer. I see you commenting on every post slihhting Pierce. Pierce is great. Just not better than Pip. Look at Pippen the first year Jordan was retired. Dude finished 2nd in mvp voting. Prime Pippen is a guy that could do it all. Everything. 93-96 he was the most complete player in the league. Top 5 defender all time
slighting*
And Baylor too this girl ain't now shit
+byUoNkEy know*
Pippen is overrated
Larry Legend!!!
I always LOL when I see Bird trash talk videos!! He told Robert Reid he shoulda stayed a preacher!! LMAO
Good list.
7:13 So far he's proving you wrong...
The list is terrible how is Dr.J not top 5. I mean 7!!!!!! smh
Glad this is 6 years old...but for back then...it's right by me...good one
Its so hard not to include Bernard King to this list! He makes top 20 easy, but the only thing that keeps him out of top 10 is he didn't win a title! He was indeed unstoppable at small forward! HOF so I'm not trippin!
Bernard is definitely top 10. Baylor didn't win A right and he made the list. King was definitely more deserving than English and Dantley
"His numbers aren't impacted by his older years, where his numbers will inevitably decline." 2018 NBA playoffs: *34 ppg 10 rebounds 8 assists at 33 YEARS OLD* It's time for Bird to pass the torch.
Jordan did the same stuff on a championship team, just not on a team where he could rack up assists and was not 250 pounds. He also actually had a tough path to the finals, unlike LBJ. LBJ is still a top 5 player though.
@@RsMt1505 mj should not be mentioned in this case. He is not a small forward. Bird being injured prevents him from being 1
Bird played series against the bad boy Pistons all the time. LeBron flops for calls even though he's bigger than. Most of his matchups. LeBron plays in a super soft era where you can take 5 steps without dribbling. Larry jo averaged a double double.
1. LeBron James 2. Larry Bird 3. Julius Erving 4. Elgin Baylor 5. Rick Barry 6. Paul Pierce 7. Scottie Pippen 8. Dominique Wilkins 9. John Havlicek 10. Kevin Durant

I love Paul Pierce, but he also played a lot guard from 07-08 until he retired.
Three Words

+Michael Napoli Vince Carter is a SF Look It Up
+Michael Napoli Plus he played both

+Michael Napoli for the first 5 years he played SF

2 Bird
3 Durant

Facts
Durant?😂😭😭are you high
@@souljat.g6790 he has a mvp and 3 time scoring champ and his carrer isnt over
This makes no sence....
Why is Pippen below Pierce?
Why is Barry 2nd?
Why is LeBron 3rd?
No KD
Kd suck sir 👍🏿
Rale exactly no fucking kd
Made in 2015
@@Cookietherian168 still, LeBron's 2015 season was much better than this and in my opinion he should be 2nd. Pippen was never worse than Pierce it's logic
@@johnsilvosa1271 hes a great scorer and has one of the most unstoppable jumpshots
Lebron is number 1 first off. I never thought AD was a small forward either. I love the players here but I would have KD instead of English. I'm sorry. Baylor should be ahead of rick Barry and Dr. J should be top 5 in my eyes. still not a bad list but definitely don't fully agree
+Jay Josiah you dumb as fuck if you think lebron is 1 LOL
Dirk Singh more MVPs,soon will have more points, more assists than any small forward. And has 12 straight all star starts. You are the dumb one.
Lebron is a loser and bird played less years take that into consideration also bird shut down jordan in the playoffs ... fuck outta here dumbass lol
+Dirk Singh bird shut down Jordan in the playoffs when he got 63 points? yeah that makes sense. dumb ass and ohhh this is Lebrons 13th season so he won his 4 MVPs before now and the last a few seasons ago. You don't know what you're talking about. Lol.
Nah son you just a new age baby cheering for your precious lebitch same man who flops constantly and scores 20 plus ina quarter only to still LOOSE !!!
No KD? Dr J at #7? Lebron not #1? Wtf?
KD is still too young, and LeBron's career is still at its climax.
+JOSH W Lebron will never be number 1 LOL hell bird is better and should be first
LeBron surpassed Bird a long time ago. Anyone who disagrees is in denial. Bird had to have stacked teams to do anything in the playoffs. LeBron almost beat Golden State with one the least stacked teams ever. LeBron is a more efficient scorer, better passer, defender, rebounder, etc.
LOL he is not efficient in anything go back to sleep your drunk
+Bankai2169 LeBron a better passer ? I guess you never watched a whole game of Bird then.
Wow you didn’t even put in James worthy
Maybe instead Alex English
Havlicek? Who is watching this after Havlicek sadly died 😢 Respect for Havlicek
Amazing years in the ABA? He was an MVP in 1981!
Per 36 Minutes Stats:
James: 25.1 ppg, 6.3 apg, 6.6 rpg
Barry: 23.9 ppg, 4.7 apg, 6.5 rpg
Championships:
James: 2
Barry: 1
MVP Awards:
James: 4
Barry: 0
There are your stats
She clearly stated why lebron wasn't #1 or #2, most likely he will but he still has to finish his career since he's still in his prime his numbers are inflated
+Terrence Jackson but he already has won more mvp awards, championships, and finals mvps and that are the major achievements which she mentioned too
+Jakob Michael yea true, I would put him at #2 for now but most likely he'll be the greatest all time
+Terrence Jackson maybe but bird still has achieved more
+Terrence Jackson That's only counting stats, not accolades,
LeBron's accolades speak for themselves, and when we compare players we mostly compare primes, no one talks about Nash's time with the lakers or Pippen's time with the rockets when we compare those two.
LeBron had a better prime than everyone on that list except Bird, which is the only arguable one.
He's the youngest player to reach pretty much every points mark from 10000-25000 and more.
4 MVPs, 2 finals MVPs and has probably the best single player finals performance this year.
LeBron's decline was not good enough of a reason for being lower than Rick Barry, and as you said, LeBron is really close to surpassing Bird, maybe another 1-2 Years or so?
You did in fact insult my mother. That would be the Havlicek side of my family.
here from 2019 bron is the goat sf now
No he isn't.
@lil nug Yeah, there's a lot wrong with today's NBA considering that defense is severely limited, the game is completely biased towards offense, blatant traveling and flopping are allowed and encouraged and looking at a player is a technical foul. This is the softcore pussy era Lebron is averaging those numbers. Anyway, how could Lebron be the best SF when Larry Joe "Legend" Bird played the game?
All the gs fans know Rick Barry right? No?
Bandwagons
typical 2015 only warrior fan: yey curry...me: do you remember monta ellis.....no response
Barry over LeBron and Baylor? No. He was a great player but not #2. List is pretty good overall, but order mangled. I'd put LeBron at 1 and Bird 2, but it's close. Pierce belongs on list just not so high. Havlicek should probably be in there somewhere. Durant too, though I understand this video predates him
Childe Harold LeBron is not as good as Bird. Bird was more clutch. And a smarter basketball player. And played in a much tougher league with some of the greatest players ever. Including Magic, Michael, Kareem, Barkley, Malone, Olajuwan, etc...all 50 greatest players of all time.
rueben cristobal I would rather see stats. Ur listing irrelevant things
There is no way I would take LeBron over Larry
@@ruebencristobal7790 u forgot larry scored 6 points in the finals one time
Havlicek is more of a powerforward
Lebron is literally considered the second best player of all time and u really gonna say hes only the third best small forward?
Who considers him the second best player of all time??LOL lebron is straight up not a top ten.
lil nug he definitely is bruh wtf u smokin?
lil nug FACTS Larry Bird SCHOOLED pippin and Jordan twice 3-0. MJ never beat bird in the playoffs. The closest human athletically speaking to MJ was Kobe.BIRD was better then both in his prime. He was a better shooter especially clutch shooting. He was better in the post game. He was 3 times the passer then either and his DEFENSE was absolutely lock down. In one on one NO one could beat Bird except for pistol Pete Maravich.
lil nug basketball today is a bunch of actors acting like they are playing REAL ball. It’s embarrassing.
lil nug not to mention I would take Kevin Durant over lebron “bitchmade” James ANY day. Lebron is the most overrated basketball player to date.
Love it seems the plays his a little away for him to get a little more open from a kind of fast lane moves it changed or what players can do in position that is when Pippen was running for a fast lane run & dunk but from them in cover low position...
To Me Scootie Pippen Was The Best Versitile Player at That Position And His Defense Was Unstoppable.
You seriously putting them two over Lebron 😂😂😂
I smell a Warriors fan here. How could you put Barry over Baylor and Lebron?!
Awesome BIRD. RICK BARRY. I could not agree more
Lebron #1
If I had to pick one person to take the final shot (all time) I would pick Paul pierce
+elijah doyle You wouldn't take Bird?
+Derp - nah,
+melokid99 Your opinion bro.
+Derp - Nahh
+elijah doyle
I'd pick Robert Horry. He delivers every time in the end of the 4th quarter, and is the most clutch shooter in NBA history. Even the NBA rates clutch shots in "Horry's"
Jamaal Wilkes! If only for those 5 rings with the clutchness for two different Championship teams. Solid stats too!
Glad to see players like Alex English Adrian Dantley on this list. not sure about Paul Pierce being rated that high. I believe if he did not have that terrible knee injury a strong case could be made about Bernard King being on this list.
1) Bird 2) lebron 3) DOMINIQUE 4) Barry 5) Dr J
Sorry, but Dominique doesn't rate top 8. Great, great scorer, but not a complete player like the top 6 to 8 or so.
This list is horrible in my opinion and it's not even Lebron I mean Havlicek??? Worthy??? And the order is messed and also I might even put Durant in there I knw it's early but his numbers are good and he is an mvp with a finals appearance
I agree but Worthy is not top 10 I'm sorry, big game James is in honorable mention
I agree Havlicek should be their instead of Andrean Dantley
+SolarStudios Agreed.
+Jay Josiah Hmm well id take worthy over dantley and English those 2 have only good scoring numbers because they where on pretty crap teams and where just able to shoot as much as they want. I mean look at Kevin Love's numbers with the timberwolves and cavs. Remeber worthy shared his career with Kareem and Magic who took up alot of the ball.
+Chris Redhead I agree

A career cut short by injuries.
do top 10 franchises pls
Lakers, celtics, knicks
+melokid99 Knicks? I love EM but hell no, 2 championships get outta here lol, maybe like 8-10 but not close to top 5
+TitanKiller naw they are a legacy franchise with a huge fan base in freaking NYC
yes im assuming he meant best winning franchises, which the knicks arnt, but for legendary teams the knicks are defiantly top 3
great suggestion!
I LOVE Rick Barry, a legit monster, and the only man to carry a team on his back to win the finals, but Lebron almost did that in the CURRENT era, lebron is CLEARLY 1, considering he's already top 5 Players in general right now, better D than bird, more athletic better passer, I'll be it worse shooter and even rebounding ability, but it's
1) Lebron
2)Bird
3)Barry
4) Dr.J
5) Baylor
6) Pippen
7) English
8) KD
