Kurt, Oscar was a PG/SG. One of the first of the “big” guards.
I don’t think he’s ever been considered a SF.

Where he played on the floor really has no bearing as his position is classified as guard.
So I believe he belongs on this list. He belongs very close to the top.
He nearly averaged a triple double for his career. No one has done that since.(Wilt and Russel would have had blocked shots Bern a stat back then.)

This is the dumbest comment I’ve ever seen on PBT. Are you serious????? West was a COMPLETE guard: could create his own shot, create for his teammates, helluva defender, very good clutch player, great leader (went to the Finals 9 times), and could score in every way imaginable. Please don’t call yourself a basketball fan, you are a shame to the sport:

To clarify, I prefer the center position on the ballot.

I tend to agree. This is why I think that that if they are ridding the All-Star ballot of the center position, why not just have five spots and leave it at that?

I tend to think of Oscar as a three, but he should be in the mix here I guess.

Not only that but even in the sportcenter era, Allen Iverson pretty good. Love you’re comment about all the dummies that think basketball started with Jordan. If Jordan greatest ever is a “fact” proved by six rings, these people got to wonder why the finals mvp trophy is called the Bill Russell trophy. 11 rings kids. As many as Jordan and Kobe combined. He was a 6_9 center. His rival? 7_1 guy named Wilt Chamberlain, he was good too. One season he AVERAGED 50 points and 32 rebounds per game. Also Dr. J should be remembered as one if the greatest 2 guards ever. Sorry Dr J if you don’t have video games it a sneaker line you don’t count I guess. Hey Paul, too many stupid people blog without knowing shit.

The Big “O” was stronger and could muscle any of these guys, especially with today’s training. Jordan 1st, although Big “O” could guard him. Then Big “O”, then Kobe. Wade in top 5, but only during his best season several years ago.

willardj: Those 2 comments about Jerry West are the most idiotic things I’ve read on here since lakerluver roamed these boards.
Your total lack of knowledge of the history of the NBA game is alarming. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Of course you’re most definitely one of these turds that thinks the NBA started when Jordan started playing.
West was a complete player, a clutch player and the best laker ever.

For you to write off the 50s -70s guys because they played before sportscenter is about the most moronic thing ever.

You sir, are not a very smart person.

You guys ever heard of Martelius “bean shooter” Brinkley?
He was a shooting guard in the negro league back during the “prohibition era”
What short memories all you have… probably the best guard in basketball history…

Does nobody remember that all-time Finals performance by D-Wade.. I don’t remember him ever missing a shot.. It was one of the most remarkable Finals performances since Jordan’s back in the 90s.

If Jerry West weren’t the NBA logo, literally none of these so-called “basketball experts” would know who he is. These people act like that because they’ve seen some of his youtube highlights they can make enough judgment to call him one of the greatest of all time.

Jerry West is such overrated garbage. He could only dribble with one hand! Nowadays most advanced girl’s league players can dribble with both. You can see how much better we’ve gotten at basketball.

He also said once that Kobe is better than Jordan….never cared about his opinion ever again after that.

I didn’t see BIG O play, but I know he once averaged a Triple Double for the entire season
and the LOGO, well he is the LOGO…………..

I would say top five.

Coach Jackson, not the media guy or former player, since joining the Warriors to take on the tremendous challenge to help turnaround a team and franchise in order to develop a new identity has been nothing but humble, honest, a realist and conservative. But what I have seen the most out of him is a level headed coach and game manager who understands that everything is a learning process and nothing is guaranteed…especially success. What you will also see is that he is a fan of the game and the players. He tries to stay away from bulletin board type material to be too controversial. But at the end of the day, he is a fan of the game and you will see bursts of true excitement about the progress of this young, still developing team. And then he will tone it back down and be back to the reserved coaching style.

Agreed 100%. Wade hasn’t had the career of MJ or Kobe, but I’d take him over anybody else I’ve seen. Cold Blooded.
