Updated Top 100 NBA players of all time (slam magazine)

Bad list is bad...

Durant at 13 is the worst choice out of a lot of horrible choices.

 

Pippen at 22 invalidates the entire list.

 

please list these objective measures for Isiah Thomas for why he shouldn’t even be top 100

saying that Iggy was a better player than him is honestly just ridiculous, c’mon man...

 

Like every boxscore stat that exists? PER, win shares, BPM etc. He isn't top 100 in any of that. Find one objective stat that puts him in top 100..

If he didn't luck out to play on the best defensive playoff team since Russell, nobody would mention him. His skills just weren't good enough to be top 100 player(terrible 3 point shooter, mediocre finisher, turnover prone,...).

 

haha dang you are right. I can understand how I would miss Mutombo (kinda) surprised I forgot/missed Moses and Hayes.

 

Above Gasol/Kemp/Webber is straight up weird. They are taking the future careers into consideration. They must think he has the potential to be a top 10 player of all time.

 

Isiah Thomas is a 5 times ALL NBA. 3 1st team and 2 nd team. 2 NBA championship.
Final MVP.

How is Iggy better than Isiah Thomas? LOL. That's as dumb as putting Giannis in top 100 of all time and Westbrook #37 and Harden #60.

I don't know what y'all were watching, but Isiah was an ALL TIME GREAT. One of the most hated players of all time. I would say he's on my #1 list of All time hate. 100X more times dirty than Zaza.

Harden is way better than Westbrook.

 

After this season:

Harden = 4 times ALL NBA 1st team

Westbrook = 2 times ALL NBA 1st teamn

Both with 1 MVP
Harden finish Top 2 in MVP voting 3 times. Westbrook 1 time.

Harden playing with Howard lead team to WCF

Westbrook with 2 other HOF and Steven Adams = 8th place and 1 game out of playoff

 

Anthony Davis = 2 times 1st team all NBA. All NBA defensive. Top 10 MVP 2 times.

Giannis = 1 time 2nd team All NBA.

LOL.

WE GOT TROLLED

SLAM = Dumbass.

You know they were trolling us by putting WB at #37 and HARDEN at #60

 

being the leader of a team that won B2B chips means something

averaging 19, 4, and 9 for your 13 year career means something

averaging 20, 5, and 9 for your career in the playoffs means something

he is also a member of the HOF, a 12x All-Star, made 5 All-NBA teams, is 7th all time in assists, and was a deserving Finals MVP

He most certainly deserves to be in the top 100 based off his accomplishments. Saying that Andre Iguodala of all people was better is laughable.

 

Ha. Can't get mad at this or take it too seriously. Its SLAM magazine. I use to buy every issue when I was a kid. Its more of a lifestyle magazine than expertise or real basketball knowledge.

I'm curious to get a few opinions on this though; Who do you guys think was the better player, Steve Nash or Allen Iverson? I think Steve Nash without a doubt but bunch of people I know would disagree.

 

Heck, you cannot even make a list of top 2 with unanimity, what more with 100?

 

Hakeem is much greater than Kobe, arguably better than Lebron, Lebron being more versatile as a guardish SF.

Somebody value Elite Defense please!

 

Takes longer for them to digest it, at the last ranking I believe SI or sorts, they had him at 80 or 90.

When he wins MVP, they will upgrade his position. Or if he goes deeper into the Playoffs.

 

No Yao Ming?

WTF?

 

Kobe Bryant in the top 5? Above Wilt Chamberlain? LOL

 

Lmao at Dwert top 100 of all time.

 

Well, this list sucks. Most lists will elicit some type of disagreement but this one is particularly terrible.

Kobe at 5 and Durant at 13 are particularly revolting. Jerry West really should have demanded a trade to the Celtics if they are gonna put the likes of Durant ahead of him.

 

Dumars, Laimbeer and Rodman were more important/impactful players for Pistons than Thomas. You realize this list has him at #17? Even at the time when he has playing he only finished #5 in MVP voting once in his whole career. That's his only top 5 finish in MVP voting. Blake Griffin and Carmelo Anthony have gotten more MVP votes than him. And that's 17th best player of all time?

iguodala is better, i'd much rather have him on my team. Better on defense, smarter offensive player. Similar to Thomas, 4th best player on a championship team. Who wants PG that shoots 29% from 3 and is turnover prone anyway?
