    1. Jordan

    3. Kareem

    4. Larry
    5. Russell

    6. Timmy D
    7. Shaq Daddy
    8. Black Mamba

    9. Wilt
    10. KING JAMES


    I used to have Hakeem at number 10 but after what the KING has so far produced, I've got to hand it to him.
    I like your rankings, very close to mine.

    1. MJ
    2. Magic
    3. Kareem
    4. Russell
    5. Bird
    6. Wilt
    7. Duncan
    8. Kobe
    9. Shaq
    10. Lebron

    With West, Oscar, Elgin, Hakeem, Moses Malone, Dr. J, Barkley, Karl Malone in the next tier just beyond the top 10.

    Why surprisingly? Dude has been humble for a whole while. The way that Lebron kept his calm in the final twenty seconds of game 6 showed his champion heart. Best basketball player ever.
    LeBron humble for a whole while? Seriously? OK, you consider him the best player ever...

    End of Duncan-Parker-Ginobili

    Kawhi Leonard is such an awesome player at the age of 21 but the Spurs era is over. They were so cringingly close... but not enough.

    With the aging of Battier/Miller/Allen the Heat will need another 3-point specialist in order to win another title. At least LBJ still has as many rings as MJ at the same age.

    Congratulations to the Heat fans. You're lucky Ginobili was playing a lot of minutes in the fourth quarter. He buried any chances Spurs had to come back. He's one of the reasons Spurs sucked. If he doesn't retire after this season, Spurs should waive him without any hesitation!

    Congrats Miami. Great series! Lebron with huge game 6 and 7 performances!
    Respect for San Antonio who played their hearts out as well!

    Heat will win game 7, not only because they're playing at home, but also because the Spurs will be tired and because Popovich will make some stupid decision, like take the best rebounder out of the game when it's on the line - and that will cost Spurs the game. Maybe Popovich once used to be a good coach, but is now an old fart who can't even fire his team up in the final minutes of the game and make some smart decisions. My heart says Spurs, but my head says Heat, and I'm pretty confident that the Heat will win.

    EDIT:
    Manu, Manu, Manu... trying to be Jasikevicius again with those idiotic passes... If Popovich has any sense, he will not play Manu at all, even though he's a foreigner. His time in the NBA is done - he's just become another "star" that relies on talent, not hard work. When will Popovich realize this?

    You don't think MJ's legacy also has something to do with Steve Kerr's big shot in 1997? Of course Kerr's shot was set up by MJ but still. In order to be great there is definitely some need for luck.

    LeBron was ripped a lot a few weeks ago where he had a bunch of passes stolen by David West in critical moments, but nobody talks about it any more because the Heat advanced. Same thing here. Fans (and the media) are not objective and basketball is just entertainment, so whichever way is more interesting is however the story will be told, fair or not. It's not a science.

    BTW I think the Heat are gonna blow out the Spurs just like Game 7 against the Pacers.

    The Spurs basically gave the win to the Heat; namely Popovich pulling out Duncan in the last 40 seconds and letting Heat bury 2 three-pointers following 2 offensive rebounds. In hindsight, Pop looked really foolish and not deserving all the accolades, but nobody can predict the future, and will Duncan's presence make a difference in outcome? It's likely but also debatable. But Manu deservs more blame for this loss; turnovers after turnovers. LeBron also choked big time in the last 2 minutes of regulation; but at least he made that critical 3 on the second try.
    I had a lot of thoughts immediately after the epic game last night, one of which revolved around the way our culture and our media in particular forces a narrative. For example, imagine if one tiny thing had happened differently last night- that Ray Allen's shot is 6 inches to the right from where it actually went- and the Heat lose that game. If that had happened, a large part of the media and the NBA fan community would be destroying Lebron for those two botched plays and would be writing about his legacy becoming that of a choker, a player who is great but wilts in the Finals, etc., etc. But does the fact that Allen's shot was not 6 inches to the right change what kind of player Lebron is? No, a player should be evaluated based on the totality of their contributions. Don't get me wrong, what a player does on the big stage is important, but those two turnovers Lebron had shouldn't be career-defining or career-destroying simply because Allen's shot happened to go in instead of 6 inches to the right.

    I want Miami (King James) to win by the way, but the fans suck.
