Knock Russ down a tier. Take AI off the list.

[–] bigbenis2021@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Allen Iverson above Steve Nash and Chris Paul is absurd. Also Chauncey Billups and Gilbert Arenas in the same tier is foul.

[–] Ser_Lebron_Targaryen@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Allen Iverson is one of my all-time favorite players but Jesus Christ lol

[–] LemmeTalkNephew@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Iverson lmao, you mean slightly better Celtics IT?

[–] FrnklndaTurtle@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Where is Smush?

[–] Ok_Respond7928@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I don’t see how AI is above Nash. Unless you really really think the 2000-2001 76ers were trash outside of AI and him making the finals in a super weak east is that impactful.

[–] snyder810@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

If Iverson is a PG why exclude Harden.

Payton is like two tiers too low as a player, but are you isolating to only his 2000s years?

Billups up one.

Francis a tier too high.

T7 feels like it falls apart. No Kemba? Murray makes the list and yet most would probably have Fox, Ja, and even Hali over him in PG rankings right now? Mo Williams & Bibby make the list but no Conley or Jrue?

[–] twrs_29@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Trae Young in the same tier as Gary Payton

[–] RicoGemini@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

No Frank Ntilikina? Crazy

[–] DrTom@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Your tiers 2 through 6 seem like they were randomly generated. How is Gary Payton in the 6th tier? How is Iverson #2?

[–] inshamblesx@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Iverson is tier 5 at best

[–] rimpressure@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This is ass

[–] IntroductionNearby71@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

lowry is t4 at least come on

[–] Chriscustomkicks@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Is the d rose mvp regular season really more impressive then what kyrie did in 2016 for a championship?

[–] GoldenBoyRecords@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Iverson T2? What are you basing that off of

[–] neuroticsmurf@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

This sub is obsessed with rankings.

[–] DrownedInBeans@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Why do we consider Luka a point guard but not Harden or Lebron?

[–] Fdorleans@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Rondo is way too high.

Nash, Kidd, Paul are Tier 2

Westbrook, Lillard, Rose are Tier 3

Doncic is too young to be ranked now.

Ben Simmons should not be in this list.

[–] jeremy9931@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Doncic has been playing professionally between international and the NBA for nearly a decade, he’s got a fairly big enough resume that it’s fair to include him now.

[–] ATG_Filip@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Saint Curry?

[–] ghgrain@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Why start at the year 2000? That’s kind of an unnecessary distinction. All Time makes more sense. It’s like you don’t want John Stockton at the top of your list.

[–] seikoholic9497@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Lmao Steph above Nash and Kidd? And then you put them alongside Westbrick?

[–] Punter2003@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Steph is rank 1 all time and it's not close. 4 rings in the LeBron James era sheesh.

[–] Punter2003@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Steph is rank 1 all time and it's not close. 4 rings in the LeBron James era sheesh.

[–] NegativeJury8639@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Allen Iverson as number 2? Lmaooooo

[–] NegativeJury8639@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

You people are addicted to ranking things Jesus

[–] pokexchespin@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

is m williams supposed to be mo? if so, he’s easily behind pretty much everyone on that tier other than maybe bibby

[–] Other_Ambition_5142@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The Gary Payton disrespect is absurd

[–] Other_Ambition_5142@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

The Gary Payton disrespect is absurd

[–] mfsauceboy@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

You thought we wouldn’t notice you sneaking Ben Simmons on there

[–] mfsauceboy@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Thanks for clarifying its Steph and not Seth

[–] purpl3r3dpod@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

The list is crazy but Lowry is at least tier 5. That's a first ballot hall of famer with a chip, 12th all time 3ptrs made, Olympic gold medal, all NBA, 6x all star. Guys above like Starbury, D Williams, Francis, John Wall, would kill to have the career Lowry had and is still having.
