    In fact, if there is such a list by FIBA, MJ would be no.1 and Manu would be no.2!

    At one point people were debating Kobe v T-Mac. I think when it's all said and done T-Mac will be up there. And yeah Drexler should be above Iverson. You can't fault Drexler for having 7 inches on him; they both played with what they had and Drexler had a bigger impact on his team's performance in what is still considered the greatest era in the NBA ever.

    Reggie Miller is overrated.

    His stat line: 18.2 ppg, 3.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.1 stls

    Though he did average 47% from the field (same as Clyde) and nearly 40% from three-point land.

    He made All-NBA 3rd team 3 times, but no higher. He finished 13th in MVP voting one year and 16th another.

    Compare that to Tmac.

    Stat line: 22.4 ppg, 6.2 rebs, 4.7 asts, 1.3 stls. Though he only shot 44% fromt he field and 34% from three-point land.

    But here is the REALLY huge difference:
    TMac has made ALL-NBA First team twice, Second team three times, and Third team once.

    And he has made the top 7 in MVP voting FIVE times (and this year will be another).

    How did Vince get two votes? He may have had a few spectacular years, but this is the GOAT list.

    Sorry, but I don't agree with you.

    Reggie Miller is probably THE BEST SHOOTER ever. Reggie carried his team to Finals and almost beat by himself glorified Bulls in 98', although I respect and love what McGrady is doing, it's nothing compared what Reggie achieved in his carrer. Ofcourse that doesn't mean Tracy isn't going to be in top 10, in fact he's in top 5 players in this league when he's healthy (oh my, how many times I've heard this.)

    Underestimating any player on that list is ridiculous, don't get high on that, it's just a fact of one man's opinion, lot of people would say that Drexler is better than Iverson, McGrady's better than Kobe and vice versa. Only one place is guaranteed and that's Jordan's place.
