After all RINGS are the ultimate prize, not stats. In that regard Malone and Lebron don’t even belong on this list. How about replacing Malone with Duncan and his 4 AND LJ with Kobe and his 4 (soon to be 5) rings! LJ has no business being on this list – yet – but one day he will.

Doesn’t matter though, it’s his top ten not ours?
For real, Kobe’s not in your list? you hate him or something?

I can’t see how Jerry West would get around Duncan or KG and Shaq would kill Kareem and in the post. Game over by half time.

Putting Karl Malone ahead of Tim Duncan automatically qualifies you for a Don Nelson status of ridiculousness. You should be ashamed.

In each of the previous off-seasons LeBron has worked hard to improve specific parts of his game: the jump shot, the 3-point shot, help defense, chase down defense, and most recently, post-up. And each new skill me masters makes him harder to guard and to control.
We really have no idea yet how good this guy can get. But he’s already made my 10 Best of all time:
Oscar Robertson – g
Michael Jordan – g
Magic Johnson – g
Jerry West – g
Larry Byrd -f
LeBron James – f
Karl Malone – f
Elgin Baylor – f
Wilt – c
Kareem – c
