    I'm extremely squeamish about Lebron at the #2 spot already. He has the talent to reach that goal some day but he hasn't done it yet. Nice to see Hakeem get some love but 11 is a little low for him.

    Also I don't buy Kobe over Shaq. It's amazing how little Shaq is respected.

    The fact Kobe has more #1 votes than Jabbar and Chamberlain shows why this poll needs to be locked away and set on fire.. it's a shamockery of teenage boys with internet connections

    Yeah possibly. I basically arbitrarily chose to show the top 14 because Tim Duncan struck me as the highest profile all time great who was ranked the lowest.

    I knew if I had only shown the top 10 there would've been a deluge of "Where's Hakeem?! Where's Duncan?!" comments.

    You could probably switch Oscar and Duncan to put Duncan at rank 8, and then switch Oscar (tentatively 14) and West.

    List should go like:

    1. Hakeem
    2. Lin
    3. Parsons
    4. Jordan
    ..
    ...
    .... irrelevant

    Lebron lebron lebron, dannggg... Why so many fans has been so enamoured with him? He is a great player as at now, but all time greatest? Better than all the players that achieved more PLAYING AT ONE TEAM?

    Wow this list is bad
    Lebron at 2, and kobe at 9 (Above Shaq and Dream)
    It is clear that current players are rated to high (with the exception of duncan who should be above Kobe).

    Will Lebron become the second greatest ever, possible. But if his career ended today he would not be the second greatest. So he is much to high on the list.

    Going off these 15 I'd place LeBron at 12.
    Not sure how anyone could rank him higher at this point in his career.
    Far too many people are clearly basing his ranking off of his athletic gifts and flair for the game over winning big and in the clutch.

    Playing on one team doesn't matter.

    Nice List I would put Bron over Wilt though and does Larry Bird get some love on the list?
