The usual suspects forming the top 9 of the greatest basketball players list in some order are
- MJ
- LeBron
- Kareem
- Wilt
- Bill Russell
- Magic
- Tim Duncan
- Larry Bird
- Shaq
Who rounds out the top 10 list at #10? Some names that come to mind are
- Kobe
- Hakeem
- Oscar
- Steph
Yeah the crazy thing is Kobe elevated all of those players all the way down to Vujacic, Walton, Farmar, Brown, etc. He turned Gasol from a fringe all star to a hall of famer.
