|
|
my prediction:
MJ
Kareem
Wilt
Russell
Magic
Duncan
Bird
Kobe
Lebron
Shaq
Hakeem
Moses
Oscar
Erving
Jerry
However it falls, it's pretty cool to have 6 in the top 15! Next most is Sixers with 3 (if we're splitting Wilt) and Celtics with 2.
Other rankings:
Elgin (24)
Mikan (33)
Worthy (43)
McAdoo (52)
Pau (56)
Goodrich (98)
EDIT: See below for bet

Well, one of Kobe, LeBron or Hakeem is going to end up outside the top 10, and that won't please any of their respective fans. |

Why bother? It's ESPN. You know Kobe will end up outside the top 10. |

Yeah exactly ESPN will put Kobe outside top 10 likely 11-12th spot. |

I don't think they are that stupid. Kobe is obviously top 10 even to people that don't like him. |

If he doesn't, how much would you donate to LG?
Curious how confident you are, if at all. |

No he's not. Pretty much all my non-Laker fan friends think he's 10-13 or so.
I disagree and think he should be around 8 or 9. |

That's actually a great over/under bet.
O/u is 10.5.
5 dollars to LG for each spot you're wrong. So if you take the under and he's 11, you owe 5. You take over and he's 8, you owe 15. Owe nothing if you're right.
I got 5 on the under. |

If the guy "knows" Kobe is going to be out of the top 10, and only bets $5, then he clearly doesn't "know" Kobe is going to be out of the top 10! |

I think the rankings will be
1. MJ
2. Kareem
3. Russell
4. Magic
5. Duncan
6. Lebron
7. Bird
8. Robertson
9. Shaq
10. Hakeem
11. Kobe
8-10 are probably interchangeable, I think that's where the ESPN rankings will line up. |

I don't gamble, but I think they put him at #10. I wouldn't put it past them to put him at #11 (with Shaq at #10) for the controversy, though. |

I see them ranking him at #11. Could be a few spots higher but no lower. |

So much confidence in "BSPN" screwing Kobe, but not enough to put 5 dollars on it. |

Being able to rank Kobe outside of the top 10 is probably one of its best reasons to publish such a list. |

I'll go with 10th but 11 or 12 won't surprise me one bit. |

A little early to put DLo #4. #12 is more realistic. |
