Steve Nash, Dwade, AI should be gone

 

[cceast22]

Steve Nash, Dwade, AI should be gone

Who should be in their place??

 

[DirtyCake]

Who ever made this list is under 30 therefore they need to go back to playing 2k and stfu

 

[xxironxx]

Steve Nash, Dwade, AI should be gone

I might give AI a pass. Even though i always felt he got too much praise. I'm like shit if you give me 30 shots a game i can come up with 25 points too. But Nash and Wade gotta go. This is probably a very unpopular opinion but Wade might be 1 of the most over hyped players ever

 

[ak_rep]

Magic is better than all those dudes. There was an order in 96? I was younger and don't remember.

And wack ass Walton. He was cool for a hot minute but nah.

Nah. No order

 

[ak_rep]

Nah. No order

That's what I thought, but there's clearly a numerical order in your post. But I see it's alphabetical too.

 

[Amajorfucup]

• Nate Archibald

Bad decision.

• Sam Jones

Bad decision.

• Robert Parish

Never belonged.

1. James Worthy

Never belonged.

Paul Pierce

Nah.

[KingTaharqa]

Took off Sam Jones and Tiny Archibald to add Dirk and Reggie Miller.

Agreed, He hasn't done shit without the two most dominate player in last 15

I'd put CP3 on over AI

 

[prose00]

And still no Nique. FOH!

 

[xxironxx]

Fully agree. That's always my argument about wade

 

[O.J PIMPSON]

Why is Steph Curry on here?

 

[THE DRIZZY]

We should be closing in on top 75.

 

[Mack1052]

Steve Nash, Dwade, AI should be gone

Reggie should be gone before DWade

 

[alexw]

Why is Steph Curry on here?

Because he's like the greatest shooter ever

You're insane.

Did you see the roster that AI singlehandedly took to the Finals in 2001? CP3 hasn't even managed to get to a conference finals. AI over CP3.....fuck outta here....

 

[Sir_Fuzzy_McWaffle_Feet]

Nate was the first scoring point that had the moves that iverson and others doing. He truly is s pioneer. I would say he is the best guard ever under 6'1

 

[Sir_Fuzzy_McWaffle_Feet]

But thats his bigges accomplishment. Taking a grocery cart full of bums to a 4-1 finals L. Dwight Howard took rafer alston and Hedo Turk to the finals and he aint been back since. That not that big a accomplishment really

That's his biggest accomplishment? So all this:

• Hall of Famer
• NBA Most Valuable Player – 2001
• Four-time NBA scoring champion
• 11-time NBA All-Star
• Two-time NBA All-Star Game MVP
• 7-time All-NBA
• Three-time NBA steals leader
• NBA Rookie of the Year 1997

Is nothing, right? Ok...

 

[O.J PIMPSON]

Waaaaay too soon

Accomplishment..
No it was his eastern conference championship

 

[Sir_Fuzzy_McWaffle_Feet]

Waaaaay too soon

Time will tell what that we dont know now

 

[P03t]

Waaaaay too soon

they said that about Shaq

Wade is the only person I have a problem with on this list

 

[jasonblacc]

Reggie should be gone before DWade

I don’t have a problem with Reggie being on there. At least he lead a team to the finals. Dwade without a Shaq or Bron gets the Melo treatment

 

[Mack1052]

Eh. Wade carried that team and dominated the finals. Also, defensively Wade is light years better than Reg. To me, if you keep Reg than Ray gotta go. Or keep Ray and Reg gotta go. Personally, I put Ray over Reg

 

[Mr. Met]

Steph ain’t even within breathing distance of 20K. FOH!

 

[HotNixon36]

Steph ain’t even within breathing distance of 20K. FOH!

I am not sure that Steph has done enough already to be a top 50 player of all time. I do think he has a top 50 season of all time, but just not sure about his career.

 

[Mr. Met]

I am not sure that Steph has done enough already to be a top 50 player of all time. I do think he has a top 50 season of all time, but just not sure about his career.

They need to do a top 25 or 50 per generation. It makes more sense.

 

[P03t]

I am not sure that Steph has done enough already to be a top 50 player of all time. I do think he has a top 50 season of all time, but just not sure about his career.

if stays on the path he is going he is a sure fire greatest player like another poster said he is already probably the best shooter ever

wade is a HOFer but greatest player nah...Reg should have a ring if he didn't run into the Bulls and Knicks every postseason...

 

[durham]

Paul Pierce (not enough sustained winning and dominance at his position imo), he is LUCKY garnett and allen came to boston.
D-Wade (poor overall game for a shooting guard in the era of the 3-pointer, great two player though--3 chips tough call, at his peak, not sure there was a better two way at his position),
Reggie (VERY close, but damn who does he replace???), I would put Wade above Reggie. Wade LED a team to the finals with Shaq on the team
Jason Kidd (not enough shooting imo, great distributor),
Steve Nash (motherfucker stole two MVPs over Kobe and Shaw--fuck him)
and as much as it hurts I don't think Allen Iverson belongs either.

No way you can remove Wes Unseld, thats for damn sure. Domique gotta be on this list easy.

 

[Mack1052]

Greatest player? We can say Nique would have one too if not for the Celtics and Pistons but he aint on the list and he was a better player than Reggie
