List is Ok except Oscar and Russell wouldn't be so high on mine. Not many of us watched them play. I didn't so my opinion matters zero. I have watched a lot of the old games on youtube and wasn't that impressed. If you know about those eras there are 2 other big things to think about.
Russell overated because the guy played on a super super super super team. We rag on players now for needing to many other stars... Its not Russell's fault but
his first full season he legit had 6 other teamates that were Hall of Famers! over half the team would end up in the hall of fame. You put Wilt on those teams and i'm sure he'd be considered the greatest.
Oscar Robertson. We look at this stats and are amazed. But he played in by far the biggest run and gun stat stuffing era of basketball.

Bird and Magic both could be higher.

Brick 7th is a little high but more reasonable than people putting him in top 5. Morons.
As noted he's a facilitator, sets up the more advanced scorers......
Doesn't have much heart, terrible record in the Finals, setting historic marks in turning the ball over......
7th is a gift.
We move on.

I never see Moses Malone in anyone's top 10, Hell I bet most leave him out of top 25
I think Moses is the most under-rated player of all time, Ruseel maybe most over rated

Lebron is currently 3rd on the NBA's all time scoring list, and has a chance to catch Kareem to become the league's all time scoring leader. Pretty good for a facilitator

And 3rd on the all-time turnover list as well.

Don't be upset with me Kane, Barkley put him 7th on the list, not me......
(I'd have never rated him that high, LOL)
Seriously, he's a nice guy to have on team if you have like an AD or someone who can score in the clutch.....
Like having a good bunter in front of a stud that can drive the ball in baseball, set up men can be valuable as well.
Nothing wrong with being a good passer, my little sister won a starting job for the same reason.

Actually he's 2nd on the all time turnover list, here's the top 10
1 Karl Malone
2 LeBron
3 John Stockton
4 Kobe Bryant
5 Jason Kidd
6 Moses Malone
7 Isiah Thomas
8 Hakeem Olajuwon
9 Russell Westbrook
10 Patrick Ewing
The rest of the top 20 is filled with some of the best to ever play, guys like Paul Pierce, Magic, Duncan, Barkley, Wade, and Shaq
I don't know about you, but looking at those names, seems like not too bad of a list to be on

Um no......we are going to disagree.
Having turned the ball over 2nd most in the history of the game is not a good thing regardless who else is on the list.
That's like saying Winston throwing picks is cool since a lot of studs on the all-time list for INT's.
Lot of studs NOT on the list as well......
You know, some of and THE greatest of all time - MJ, Bird, Magic and so on.
