1. Steve Nash ( 2 MVPs, what a shame! )
2. Kobe Bryant ( Media hype because of MJ's retirement )
3. Scottie Pippen ( MJ made him better )
4. John Stockton ( Dream Team but not ISIAH with 2 titles )
5. Larry Bird ( He's like the Eminem in basketball, whenever a white person does something good that's dominated by black people, they tend to get alot of hype)
I'm not racist but that's how it is.

Shut up Tweety! I don't care if a charge wasn't made. I'm just smart enough to know that IDIOTS like yourself would probably take that offensive. You know everyone is not open-minded?
Anyways, forget about that 57 to 55. You think you have a point! Because you forget that with MJ they were 72-10! Sucka!.....and I believe that's a checkmate!
2007-02-27 14:01:18 · update #1
No, with the greatest player of all time they gained 17 more games, SUCKA! With Pippen only they only won 55 with no titles & no finals, I do believe that's a checkmate!

Hey Tweety,
you're the biggest moron ever! Whenever you don't win a title that's considered a losing season......and you always forget to mention that MJ was hurt his 2nd year, and then you forget to mention that he lost 3 years with Pippen too. It took MJ 7 years to win, remember? So quit the hating!

1. chris webber, yes he's a 20ppg, 10rpg, but he's a three quarter player who can't be counted on the be the leader despite his huge salary.
2. scottie pippen, good defender, good scorer, another person who was overshadowed by his salary. still future hall of famer, but no as good as people bill him.
3. david robinson-yes he scored 70 points in a game, and yes hes a good rebound. however never won till tim duncan came along. lacked toughness and defensive presense. imagine olajuwon if you took away the defense and toughness.
4.kobe bryant-don't know where the michael jordan comparison has come from. very selfish, self centered, and seems too kobe orientated. good player but could be so much more.
5.darryl dawkins- loved his dunks, naming the dunks, but a b'ball player has to be more than dunking. average player who was surrounded by great players for many years on the 76'ers. known as a fouling machine. still though smashing backboards was kinda awesome lol.

Lebron James-how can you not have this guy, he had t.v. exposure in high school and has yet to win any sort of title; Carmelo Anthony, still only half a player because he isn't really known as a defender; Tracy McGrady, all hype and no show in the big time; Vince Carter, once compared to MJ in all stats and that seemed to satisfy him; Reggie Miller, the guy could shoot when he was all alone, but most of his highlights begin with him pushing off.
As for your list, you can clearly see that you value scorers and not playmakers. Isiah was a scoring guard and didn't really dominate the tempo like a John Stockton and probably only got half the assists Stockton did over his career. Steve Nash does it all really, but could defend a bit better, he really has improved year to year when most players plateau and he's white. Kobe Bryant has holes in his character and was fortunate to have Jackson as his coach and Shaq as a teammate else he might be ringless, but he's still a great player who can take on adversity with the killer instinct to win. Pippen was the original Lebron-type player BUT he played defense as well as Jordan AND he filled in all the necessary roles, plus he pushed Jordan day in and day out in practice to improve when others folded. And Bird, well, he was the original point forward, that position didn't exist before him, plus he could shoot under pressure and he was really creative when it came to getting off shots and taking advantage of people more athletic than himself. Remember, greatness doesn't just come from scoring 30 points a game.

No
1. Allen Iverson (has never won a championship)
2. Darko Milicic (how can he be the no 2 pick on the draft?)
3. Ron Artest (he is just a famous person)
4. Jermaine O´Neal (not a champion, too much for a player drafted at 16 years)
5. Lebron James (has a lot of fame for being a young player, but he will be better next years)

1. Allen Iverson isto inconsistence streaky in terms of offesive. 42% compare it to other players he couldn't and win in east with a decent roster
2.Gilbert Arenas To streaky of a shooter he shooting around 42%
3.Steve Nash I feel when ever a white guy comes along they make them better then they seem. 2 mvps is a outragous. But he probably is the besy pg right now. Nash barely beat the Laker last year
4.Kevin Garnet. Great player but he can't win. Duncan can do it,Dirk can, and a few other bigmen.
5.

Look this question asks who are the most overrated players not biggest busts in the NBA draft. So Michael Olowokandi can't be overrated. Here's the 5 most overrated players in NBA history and a lot of people are going to disagree with me:
Kevin Garnett
Lebron James
Wilt Chamberlain
Stephon Marbury
Spudd Webb

1. Michael Jordan- wrong to name him as the greatest basketball player of all time. Maybe the greatest NBA player of all time because unlike Kareem, he did not dominate basketball at every level.
2. Steve Nash- the two MVP awards he's won were based on his overall value to his team not his rank as the best NBA player of his time.
3. Ben Wallace- if you asked Charles Barkley to rebound/defend and not to care about offense, there wouldn't have been no Ben Wallace.
4. Dirk Nowitzki- he is not the next Larry Bird because unlike Larry, he did not average 10 rebounds for his career.
5. Steve Francis - enough said

1) Derrick Coleman (Perhaps the biggest waste Syracuse ever produced, the Nets could never say "NO" to pile of crap that Big!)
2) Patrick Ewing(Finger roll instead of dunk?)
3) Tim Hardaway (Great crossover bad shot selections)
4) Robert Parish (Have a friend pick up the weed @ a PO Box, Dude!)
5) Gary Paton (John Stockton would use him like Tissue)

In no particular order:
Mike Dunleavy, Jr. (3rd overall pick in 2002 and still journeyman numbers)
Michael Olowokandi (#1 overall pick who has never produced)
Kent Benson (#1 overall pick who was at best a journeyman)
Kwame Brown (#1 overall pick, still trying to learn how to play)
Michael Jordan (You'd think with all the hype that he would hold more than ONE record in the NBA books - most points in a playoff game; oh yeah, they lost that game, too.)
