NBA the official Sup Forums GOAT starting five

Since soccer has "The OFFICIAL Sup Forums GOAT XI" I think we should make one for the NBA.

I'm using these rankings

Cast your votes, ladies and gentlemen

strawpoll got a nifty update

Why is curry on the list and not Westbrook? Fucking normies

>check SG
>no Ginobili
thread reported and hidden, go kill yourself

>ginobili
>ever even in the same pantheon as jordan, wade, or rudy gay

JUST

4 rings

It's ok that you don't claim he's the GOAT, but saying he's not on a similar level is just stupid

Duncan babby, ginobili has always been a glorified 'energy guy'. He makes as many insane plays as stupid ones.

Saying he's eve close to a similar level is stupid.

Rings don't equal being a great player, they are just one of many things a great player mist have.

Ginobili didn't do nearly enough to be in any GOAT conversation.
Kill yourself

Ginobili is a top 10 SG. I agree with you. Us white guys gotta stick together you know

>chris paul
>kobe
>lebron
>kevin garnett
>kareem

welp, that was easy

>cp3
>Kobe
You have to be 18+ to post here

Bump

I'm voting the opposite of what I think because this is dumb as fuck

>KG

Ultimately it came down to the fact that if he were to switch teams with duncan he would have more rings. Was between him and dirk.

Speak the truth, he should've been the Finals MVP for the 2005 chip, niggas these days do not realize how pivotal he really was.

>SG position is completely locked up by Jordan
>SF position is completely locked up by LeBron
>PF and C are between 2-3 guys
>PG is the only position that actually has a good variety of contenders for GOAT
Nice sport you got there jigaboo jammers

>kg over barkley

are you a retard?

>curry is on this list

as opposed to

>baseball
>positions don't even matter unless you're a pitcher

>hockey
>wayne gretzki locked up being GOAT at everything except goalie

i mean he's a top 10 point guard all-time even if he died in a plane crash tonight, so it makes sense.

what's your point? greatness is undeniable in basketball, whereas in other sports you can be the most talented player in history and you still can't even make a bad team ok (like Trout on the Angels)

>people not voting for Shaq

It's best all-time, not who had the longest career and dominated in a league with 3 good teams

>Nash
>Jerry West
>Larry Bird
>Dirk
>Walton
White superiority desu.

Magic
MJ
Pippen
TD
Shaq

Kidd
MJ
Easily LBJ
Kevin
Kareem

t. started watching last year

even in his best years he was a 6th man. he has like what 3 all-star appearance?

I can't believe Shaq has such little votes

dude stfu please

babbies here never saw him dominate in his prime and are impressed by kareem's stat-padded totals

It's true, though. Ginobili is 2nd-tier in terms of legends, top 50/75 all-time player but didn't have enough years of greatness to compare to Wade, Kobe, Jordan, McGrady, etc

>no gary payton listed

was OP autistic?

the idiot that picked George Gervin even though he didn't play a lick of defence

>Tim Duncan isn't the greatest PF ever

only explanation is that some people list him at the position he preferred playing (Center)

Johnson Jordon Bird Malone Russell

>Russell

Bill Simmons spotted

Kobe will always be better than MJ to me. Almost as many rings and his teams weren't nearly as stacked as the 90s bulls, especially in the late 2000s.

>3 players listed
>none with any votes so far

JUST

>Nash
>Jordan
>Bird
>Barkley
>Russell

isiah
allen
lebron
barkley
shaq

we'll get a cousy vote eventually, keep voting folks.

>Hakeem better than Wilt
>Bob Petit not even in the top 5 even though he's literally #1
/nba/ just needs to die

>petit

who?

>idiots voting cp3
Cp3 has never been to the conference finals, he also choked a 3-1 lead. Cp3 is only a stat guy, he can't take over a game and Carey his team when needed. It's been proven in the playoffs time and time again.

People who voted for Karl Malone are literally casual fan tier.

cp3 is the most technically gifted point guard that's ever played. plus he's already played more seasons than magic at a high level.

>SF position is completely locked up by LeBron

Larry Legend >>>>>>>>>>>>>> LeBeta

David Robinson was surrounded by a lot of shit player to fill out the roster in his career.

Wasting away year to serve his country,

UNDERRATED

>ginobili
>white

>C
>Anyone but Wilt
It's like you wanna lose.

wilt had a pretty shit filed goal percentage for how easy his shots were lol

>career .540 is somehow overrated
Fine, then he just rebounds his missed shots and kills whoever is underneath.

Harden
T-Mac
Grant Hill
Dirk
Yao

t. Chinaman/Texan?

confusing list desu

It's not 2011 anymore. He's the greatest at his position ever and it's not very close anymore. This is coming from a LeBron hater.

>there's people that actually think this
>there's people that use hypothetical scenarios to prove their point

>2 ringless players in your all time 5

M8...

chris paul does not make his team better

no amount of "muh stats" can compete with the fact that he hasn't made the finals and has no championships even with such a talented roster.

>results are currently Magic, Jordan, LeBron, Duncan, Kareem
What a shock. This doesn't work because the "greatest at x position" debate is over. The vast majority already agree on it.

fuck kevin durant

bitch nigga got what was coming
