Tim Duncan?

Trolling or retarded? Has to be one, the other or both.

Not bad choices but don't think either are held on some sort of super high pedestal meaning both are known as great players but not in the conversation as greatest ever.

I would say Kemp, out of the ones thrown out on here.

Melo, I think most fans know he was overrated now and Griffin also.

I am going with Williamson in the future for the hype right now.

Ooh, Howard is a good one if he is considered a forward.

No that’s Wiggs favourite player. It’s in context to the other guys post.

Duncan is also my second favourite player of all time. I’d never ever have him on there.

Same here. Duncan might be best PF of all time.

Give Jordan any other halfway decent player and the bulls would have had the same success.  He was a good defensive player, but was and is massively overrated!  Look at his stats, there are probably at least 2 dozen other players who have similar stat lines and are largely forgotten.  Combine that with the fact that Pippen said that Lebron is better than Jordan, and it's the reason I can't fucking stand him! Dude shit on the one person who gave him lifelong notoriety!

Absolutely incorrect. Pippen was instrumental in helping Jordan get over the top and become a champion. It never would've happened without Scottie. Massively overrated??! You have no idea what you're talking about and you don't really know basketball. And he didn't 'shit' on Jordan. Pippen simply said Lebron was a better overall player, and he is as far as filling up a stat sheet goes. Jordan was the best pure scorer in NBA history. And to compare the two is fucking stupid in the first place. Lebron is a point forward SF/PF and Jordan is a 2 guard. Lebron is 6'8", 250 pounds and Jordan was 6'6" and 215 pounds. Apples and oranges.

Pippen was like proto-Lebron, he was an amazing all-around player.  Very ignorant remarks against him in this thread.

At a minimum he's the best "second banana" (no homo or racist) in NBA history, and that's saying something.

Pippen was good enough to be a decoy for D that would otherwise go all to Jordan. Would have been a big star on any other team.

Yes, it's like comparing a quarterback and defensive end in football.

Rodman was 7 time all-defensive first team, 2 time defensive POTY. Not to mention a nWo member and POTUS ally. Remove him from this list at once.

he also dated Madonna and Carmen Electra

Rodman is my fav NBA player

Pip was GREAT but he took time to develop, a luxury lottery players today arent often afforded, and that was after 4 years in college.

His game was consistent with or without Jordan, as his numbers the year before, during and after MJ's year away were mostly identical.

My favorite Scottie memory was when he refused to come off the bench because PJax wanted Pip to be a decoy on the game winning shot designed for Kukoc, which Toni made.  Then to prove a point when Jordan came back Phil drew up a game winner for Kukoc again knowing Jordan would line up and play.

Funny stuff.

One of the things about Jordan that also makes him better than say a LeBron was that he was actually coach-able even though he had that immense talent.

Result - all those rings.

My favorite Scottie memory was that epic dunk over Patrick Ewing in the Eastern conference finals. Then he stood over him, taunting him. In today's NBA he would have been suspended for a game. My least favorite moment was the situation you mentioned where he refused to come into the game to be a decoy for Kukoc. The Bulls were already down 2-0 in the series and likely would've been down 3-0 had Kukoc missed that shot. Not the best time to throw a hissy fit with so much on the line.
