I don´t see how Duncan is rated below Shaq, he has more awards, won on worse teams than shaq did, and is still a great player while Shaq has declined. To say LeBron over duncan is ridiculous. the list should go by 1 Duncan 2 Shaq 3 LeBron 4 Robinson 5 Iverson ....
MJ was in the same year, so if there's another chance most people would choose MJ instead of Dream. No disrespect to Dream though, otherwise he would be one heck of a no.1 pick.
Anyone who would still take Duncan over LeBron after what both have shown so far is being myopic and closed-minded. Shaq is the only one I'd take over LeBron, period. And even that could be argued, depending on what LeBron does in the future. Duncan is a great player, but nobody would pick him over LeBron knowing what we know now.
I'd have to put Duncan number 1 because he's the only one that was the superstar player drafted number 1 by the team who received the Championships for having him. I'd move AI down the list to like 6 and move Lebron to like 3 10 Colman 9 Howard 8 Webber 7 Yao 6 AI 5 Ewing 4 David Robinson 3 Lebron 2 Shaq 1 Duncan
As much as I love Yao, Patrick Chewing and The Admiral are Top 10 centers of all-time. Yao Ming must really dominate and dominate by himself to win an NBA title to ever be greater than either Chewing or Admiral.
Here's mine: #1- Shaq #2- LeBron #3- Tim Duncan #4- David Robinson #5- Allen Iverson #6- Chris Webber #7- Dwight Howard #8- Yao #9- Patrick Ewing #10- Derrick Coleman
Only 3 guys on that list won a Title. Only 2 of them won multiple titles. It goes to show that #1 picks are kind of overrated. Majority of franchises that obtain a #1 pick will achieve nothing.
You're so right about Joe Smith look who was drafted behind him. 2 McDyess 3 Stackhouse 4 R Wallace 5 Garnett
Few more weeks probably days and he is number 1. We all know how the media works... They like LBJ... end of story
