Vince Carter
Dominique Wikins
Elgin Baylor
Julius Erving
Kobe Bryant
Jerry West
John Havlicek
Bob Cousy
John Stockton


Saw this pop up on my News Feed and figured I'd bring it here.

ETA: Kobe, Dr. J, West, & Stockton are clearly the top 4 imo.

lumping Dr J in with "the rest" which includes vince carter should be bannage grounds, imo.

Yea IMO they're clearly the bottom 3, but ranking them is tough.
I don't really know a ton about Cousy except he was the PG on some of the best teams of all time. So I figure there's a decent chane he's a little overrated

Carter was putting up 20+ppg for nearly a decade from 99-09. That doesn't happen often.

True, I guessit just seems like for 10 yrs now we've been saying "man Vince Carter used to be the most athletic dude in the league"

Anyone who doesn't have Kobe at the top of that list is just lying to themselves.

I don't think it's crazy to say Dr. J over Kobe, but they're 1a and 1b

Obviously I meant Kobe on top of that list sans the GOAT, Vinsanity.
