    Didnt see this poster so lock if it is. Thought it was interesting.. I Just watched sportscenter and they had Yao 7th in top 10 number one draft picks since ping pong balls were introduced.

    #10- Derrick Coleman
    #9- Chris Webber
    #8- Dwight Howard
    #7- Yao
    #6- Patrick Ewing
    #5- David Robinson
    #4- Allen Iverson
    #3- Tim Duncan
    #2- LeBron
    #1- Shaq

    i am fine with that list but i would probably switch duncan and lebron.

    duncan has accomplished far more than lebron has, in fact duncan accomplished more in his first 4-5 years than lebron has in his first 4-5 years


    when they both retire? a different story but for now duncan has to be #2 behind shaq

    How is AI #4? That's kind of high.

    I think that is actually a very good list, except I would push David Robinson and Patrick Ewing up over AI. Have AI just above Dwight and Yao, but if the Magic make to Finals, this year. I would push Dwight past AI.

    Them(ESPN) putting Lebron over Duncan when he hasn't won one ring yet shows how much they like riding his jockstrap.

    Do you think? He took a pretty crappy Sixers team to the Finals. He won a bunch of scoring titles. He won an MVP. He's definitely one of the top players of his era.

    And the fact that Duncan has won multiple rings only makes them look worse.

    If they had a draft today with the players coming out of high school or college, who would you take? LeBron or Duncan

    I'd take LeBron over Duncan

    I would put Webber before Dwight and maybe even Yao. That's just me.

    Lebron took a garbage Cleveland team to the finals. That game 6 against against Detroit might have been one of the greatest performances ever.

    I don't even like Ewing but he should be 4th with Robinson then Iverson behind him. You could even make the argument that Iverson was purely a product of that eras rule set.

    That's what I thought. Ducan has potential to get more rings and Shaq's last ring wasn't him at all. I put Ducan 1st, Shaq 2nd, David Robinson 3rd. Call me crazy, until Lebron can beat us, I still think he is overrated.
