Wait a second. O'Neal in top 5 Abdul-Jabbar not in top 5? Abdul-Jabbar gets in for better acting alone. His scene in Airplane destroys Steel and Kazzam.

I also don't know how Magic is ahead of Abdul-Jabbar when he couldn't win a title without Abdul-Jabbar. You could also make an argument against Jordan. Wilt averaged a triple-double one year didn't he.

Lots of legends on that list but someone please make a real list. Todays game; players in their prime. Jordan would still be 1, then ??? Kobe, LBJ, Magic, Wilt? Dudes like George Mikan and Dolph Schayes wouldnt even play. *******, I digress


******* is right. Pettit also played in a time when much of modern basketball techniques/skills had yet to be invented. It's different down to the rules of game and equipment(he was playing on Chucks/PF Flyers, no?). Without Pettit and the like, there'd be no MJ, Kobe, or LeBron.

Get back to us when LeBron has led his team to a NBA title.

The guy averaged 35/9/7 in the playoffs. What more could he do? Will you give him personal credit if the Cavs get him some quality supporting players and he wins a title then? Or does he have to lead four lumps of **** to a title to get credit?
