GREATEST PLAYERS WITH JOHN SALLEY

Jellojigglin · Posted: Wed Feb 28, 2018 2:39 pm Post subject: GREATEST PLAYERS WITH JOHN SALLEY

I agree with 4x NBA champ John Salley on his list of top all time players. I agree that Lebron James and Michael Jordan should not be in the top five all time players. I would put many players above the corporate age of basketball with no hand checking with Lebron and Jordan.

1. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar All time leading scorer Never lost a High School game, Only lost 2 NCAA games
2. Wilt Chamberlain Scored 100 points in a game
3. Bill Russell 11X Champ he won 8 rings in a row

Finally someone who dares to put Kareem as the GOAT. But ... as much as I dislike MJ, he just can't be lower ranked than Stockton and Dr.J.

John Stockton > MJ, LeBron, Dr. J

What a Silley argument

I'm all for players ranking others ahead of Jordan. But having Jordan at #13 is just crazy. Then the two guys you put ahead of him lost to him in the finals 2 years in a row!

Stockton shot better from distance and of course passed better than MJ. He was as good at stealing even though he was a much smaller man.

I think Jordan was better but if he and Mailman won a couple championships it wouldn't be as absurd as it sounds.

Probably the worst list of all time.

Wow, when I came in first there was only Top 15, but now with top 20 it's getting better, Duncan is 20, 4 places behind Allen freaking Iverson, that's amazing...

A lot of salt in his flavor. You can argue Kareem could be number 1 but Jordan at 10😂

I'm cool with any list that has Kobe over MJ and LeBron

I like it. My list would look different, but nobody's list is right and he doesn't follow the crowd.

Can always make an argument for his top3. I think after his top 3, he took a crack break.

Lol, AI and Bernard King > Duncan huh? Shaq > Lebron? Comeon man...I’m a lakers homer and I think Duncan and Lebron are amazing.

Wow. The order of greats keep changing. A few opinions sway the list? To be nice, I don't agree with the list AT ALL. You have MJ outside the top 5 and players like King, Malone, Stockton, AI, etc. ahead of Duncan. This shouldn't be in Lakers Lounge anyway...
