The usual suspects forming the top 9 of the greatest basketball players list in some order are

  • MJ
  • LeBron
  • Kareem
  • Wilt
  • Bill Russell
  • Magic
  • Tim Duncan
  • Larry Bird
  • Shaq

Who rounds out the top 10 list at #10? Some names that come to mind are

  • Kobe
  • Hakeem
  • Oscar
  • Steph

There were actually only 8 teams for some of his rings IIRC.

It feels dirty disrespecting Russell because he's such a great and important figure for the league. It feels like attacking your own grandpa, but realistically he's not a top 5-10 player.

He's the Jesse Owens of basketball. Important for his historic value, but has been eclipsed by modern greats.
