Built Ford Tough Posted August 30, 2009 Report Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) 10. Lenny Wilkens Also No. 10 on our Top 10 Coaches list, Wilkens is best known for having the most wins of any coach in NBA history. But he also had a long playing career of distinction — nine All-Star games, second in MVP voting (to Wilt Chamberlain, in 1968), season assist leader (1970). An excellent defender, capable scorer and savvy floor leader, Wilkens is one of the few great players who also became a great coach. Indeed, his NBA career, which spanned 45 years as a player and head coach (1960-2005), is unmatched for its combination of longevity and achievement. View the rest of the list here. Thoughts?

Built Ford Tough Posted September 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 i think gary payton needs to be a bit higher. I agree. I would put Payton ahead of Kidd and Nash. I would then bump Lenny Wilkens off of the list and put Kevin Johnson in his place. My list would look something like this: 1. Magic2. Oscar3. Isiah4. Stockton5. Frazier6. Payton7. Cousy8. Kidd9. Nash10. KJ As far as I am concerned, the top 4 is set in stone. You can argue about who deserves to be at 3 and 4 between Thomas and Stockton, but they are 3 and 4 no matter what. Obviously Magic is 1 and Robertson is 2. After that though, it gets pretty cloudy. I wouldn't have a problem with anybody putting Frazier, Cousy, or Payton at 5. I wouldn't disagree with Kidd either because I could definitely see why somebody would consider him top 5, but personally, I don't think he is top 5. As far as Nash and KJ, it is a toss up if you ask me. The Canadian bias in me is what made me put Nash at 9 and KJ at 10, but KJ is definitely worthy of being at 9 as well.

Sun Tzu Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 Steve Nash..way too high. 8th is high? I'd say that's either right or just a tad overdoing it. He should be in the top 10 at least, maybe 10 or maybe 9 but I don't see how 8 is too high. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
