I'm surprised Gasol is so high. Bosh as well. Kemp was a beast. Top 100 is legit. Curry is going to be top 50 for sure. Didn't they already say he was the 3rd best PG of all time or something? I think he has a chance to be a top 5 PG and a top 25 all time player. But it's kind of premature.
There is no universe, in my opinion, that yao ming isn't in the top 50 rank. Yao Ming went toe to toe with Shaq. 89 is a joke, this from a grizzlies fan. Ming might be one of the most unappreciated players in league history.
Yao's talent is above a lot of the other guys on here. Eg Chris Bpsh, Yao can do everything Bosh can do and much more, however Bosh does have multiple championships and Yao did not have much playoff success in his relatively short career. Pity.
Yea, I can't believe Love is higher than Kemp. The people ranking this list must be a bunch of 20 years old kid. Kemp put up great numbers on very good Seattle team and he was an all time great playoff performer. Meanwhile, Love had only 3 great season(only on offense and huge negative on D), on very poor team that never sniffed playoff. Kemp made 4 ALL NBA team Love made 2 ALL NBA team Kemp finished top 10 MVP voting 4 times Love finished top 4 MVP voting 2 times. Kemp was a great player in the playoff. Love- Playoff?? PLAYOFF ??? WE TALKING PRACTICE OR PLAYOFF? WHAT IS PLAYOFF?????
Yup. Take away Ming's name and you put in this player: This player made ALL NBA 5 out of the 6 years he played in the NBA(not counting his rookie season). Wouldn't you put this player that made ALL NBA 5 out of his 6 years in the NBA in TOP 50? That player is Yao Ming. 2003-04 NBA All-NBA (3rd) 2005-06 NBA All-NBA (3rd) 2006-07 NBA All-NBA (2nd) 2007-08 NBA All-NBA (3rd) 2008-09 NBA All-NBA (2nd) The one year he didn't make ALL NBA, he averaged 18 points, 8 rebounds, 55% FG and 2 Blocks
