All Time Top 20 NBA Players IN ORDER. Who You Got?

[Jmb4life]

Whatsup guys. I'm very interested to see some all time NBA player list. The beauty of OS is the diversity in its members. Very seldom is there a consensus here. Here's mine in order:
1 - MJ
2 - Magic
3 - Kareem
4 - Tim Duncan
5 - Bird
6 - Shaq
7 - Kobe
8 - LBJ
9 - Hakeem
10 - Wilt
11 - D. Wade
12 - Dr. J
13 - Charles Barkley
14 - Isiah Thomas
15 - KG
16 - Oscar
17 - Pistol
18 - Iverson
19 - Bill Russell
20 - Nash

Players who can make it eventually:
KD, Westbrook, D. Rose, Tony Parker, Rondo, Anthony Davis,
My darkhorse - Oladipo. Idk why lol

As I wrote my list out, I noticed the lack of old school players from the NBA's infancy. I just have problems putting guys like Cousy, Petit, Elgin Baylor etc on the list. Heck man, I even had problems putting Bill Russell on the list. Understand that I am a student of the game so I am aware of the people I may have left off. Thats my list of the NBA's top 20 of all time though. Whats yours? Its not as easy as some may think to put one together, in order.

We've done this so many times here. You could have probably done a search and found 10+ threads with peoples "top whatever" lists.

Oooh. My bad. I'm hardly ever on here as much as I used to be.

When his career is over, I think LeBron could go up to top 5. Same as KD, barring a career-altering injury.
