htownborn Posted July 19, 2011 Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 We all know about the 50 greatest players of all time. The list was created back in 1996 but over the time there have been some players who have elevated their game and created legacy's for themeselve's to be included some of the greatest. And at the same time their were guys who were good but couldn't cut the 50 greatest players list. So I created my own list, its the same thing as the 50 greatest players only I will add on 10 other guys to make it the 60 greatest players of all time list. So its simple as I said just add 10 players who you feel deserves to be on the list from the past or present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
htownborn Posted July 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) 51. Kobe Bryant-My favorite basketball player today. Love him or hate him the guy has put on amazing performances and has amazing acccomplishments. 52. Tim Duncan- The best PF of this decade IMO and he is still going strong. Timmy has done it all in the NBA 53. Kevin Garnett-By far one of the most intense players to ever play the game of basketball. Since a teen in the NBA KG has been making a name for hiself and he's continuing to do that as he looks to add more to he's accomplishments. 54. LeBron James-Since he was in high school LeBron James hyped up and destined for greatness. Alot can argue that he's the best player in the league and with good reason. Just take a look at what he's done in such a short period of time that he's been in the league. 55. Allen Iverson- Although A.I. has an attitude problem and can be selfish the guy IMO would deserve to make this list. For a guy his size he has done and accomplished things to put a player amoung the elite. 56. Gary Payton-The Glove is the epitome of that guy who you hate with your entire being, until he plays for your team. Then he becomes your favorite player ever. His talent was undeniable. He was a fantastic shooter, and one of the best defensive guards the game has ever seen. 57. Jason Kidd- Even at 38 Kidd is still a top 10 PG with amazing accomplishments good enough to make my list. 58. Dirk Nowitzki-I don't think anyone can argue against the fact that Dirk Nowitzki is the greatest European player of all time. Just look at the resume 59. Dwyane Wade-NBA Championship, 2 trips to the FInals, multiple All Star, and has some of the most heart than any player in the NBA today. No doubt D-Wade should be included in his list 60. Dennis Rodman-Some people may think I'm crazy for putting the most controversal player in NBA history on this list but the guy is one of the greatest rebounders of all time and was the master of mind games. Honarable mentioning to Dominique Wilkins and Joe Dumars Edited July 20, 2011 by htownborn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted July 19, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted July 19, 2011 Wade gets on that list before LeBron does, no doubt about it. If you're putting LeBron on the list (who doesn't have a championship and a Finals MVP) and then sticking Dumars up there (who doesn't have the stats Wade does), I'm confused as to what your criteria is.

I agree thats why I'm changing my list. This is one of my old post from a different forum which is why I put Wade as a honarble mentioning.

Owner Real Deal Posted July 20, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 By the way, people can say Rodman shouldn't be up there, but he's the greatest defensive player to ever play the game, not only the best rebounder since the Wilt era, so I wouldn't be too worried about that selection. I'll probably make my list soon. Tough call, especially if it's in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
