1. LBJ (No words needed)
2. AI (His Georgetown Bulldogs career made Ben Simmon's LSU career look like the NBA career of Adam Morrison)
3. Kobe (Yea... You know why he's here)
4. Joel Embiid (VERY high, I know, but this kid was a beast. Id have selected him #1, now he needs to actually play)
5. Steve Nash (Loved him in college. Biggest draft steal of all time).
6. Al Horford (Well, this is why I'm PCing him...)
7. Greg Oden (Draft bust in the NBA, but Buckeye hero in the NCAA)
8. KD (Once in a generation small forward)
9. Kawhi (Went 15th overall, but was a top 5 prospect in San Diego. The Pacers would be kicking themselves now that they traded him away on draft night)
10. Blake Griffin (It's not often you get a guy like him in the league, and besides, his dunks reminded me of the Human Highlight Reel

)
11. Derrick Rose (The best point guard since John Stockton up until that injury. I hope he fares better in future)
12. Carmelo Anthony (The fact that he can't make it into a regular playoff team despite being a forger March Madness champ surprises me, but hey, he can still shoot)
13. Dirk Nowitzki (Milwaukee are anther team who should be kicking themselves for trading a superstar on draft day. Best foreign player of all time)
14. Andrew Bogut (Well, I had to include an Aussie on here, right?)
15. Pau Gasol (Just watching him in his prime was amazing. And in saying that, he did make the All-Star game this year, so he still is in his prime. Ageless)
16. Yao Ming (Way overrated, but was still fun to watch in his time)
17. Amar'e Stoudamire (When he was at Phoenix, he was beast. Loved watching him play ere with Nash. Doing decent in South Beach now as well, which is great)
18. Brandon Roy (Reminded me of MJ in a tiny way. He was epic, retired too soon though.)
19. Anthony Davis (SWAT THIS! SWAT THAT! Best unibrow in all of sports. Best Kentucky Wildcat of all time

)
20. Russell Westbrook (Should win at least 1 MVP award before he retires. Most athletic PG in NBA history IMO, him and Durant are death to opponents).

Thoughts?

for me it would have to be

Kobe
AI
Nash
Duncan
TMac
Dirk
VC
Manu
Pau
LBJ
Melo
Wade
Dwight
CP3
Rondo
KD
Westbrook
Steph
Griffin
Harden

Just stopped at 09 since i have seen more of them but later players pushing for top 20 would be

Boogie
PG
Butler
Kawhi
Kyrie
AD

i based mine a far bit of how long they have been at the top of the game for hence the newer players not featuring.

I. Think this thread is along the lines of NBA top 50 at 50 years.

So I think Embiid and Oden would be no where here since they really have nt contributed into the NBA. I do not the nk it is about potential at their peak or when drafted.

Same with Bogut and Roy. I do not think top 20. I'll give you Horrors as he is your PC guy

Correct me if I am wrong.

Timmy D and Wade really need to be in there.

Yeah that was my thinking - so I didn't take into any account college/international etc.

Having a laugh aren't you!? TD an honorable mention? You have Greg Oden in your top 20 players as well, too much :crazy:

thePACisback · May 3, 2016

I actually did it based on the draft lists, as in potential based on when drafted.
Probably should've noted that lol
