Who are the 10 greatest NBA Players of all Time?

Hornacek played with Iverson, nobody knew how good Hornacek was till he got off of his team. Other good players played with him as well. Nobody wanted to play on his team because he controlled the ball and was selfish with it. That team made the finals and lost because the rest of the East was trash at that time. He was good not great, he was tough I'll never say he wasn't, He was their entire offense because he chose to be there entire offense and nobody wanted to be on his team because of it. His %'s don't lie about his efficiency, he was bad.
.
My general point is that no way in hell Allen Iverson is a top 10 NBA player, not even close to it. Hell I'd take 10-15 guys currently playing in the NBA before Iverson when starting a team.

Take Iverson off that 6ers team and they lose to this 6ers team. Your spinning so much garbage right now. I used to like your posts. May have to rethink. Iverson is a great player. Sorry u can't recognize that.

The next best player on that 76ers team was Booker skilled. In fact u might say that was a team full of Booker's with Iverson. I'm pretty sure the coach wasn't in Iverson's ear telling him to shoot less.

The fact that that team made the finals is a credit to how great Iverson was. Dude never took a night off and pound for pound, maybe the toughest player ever to put on an nba uniform. Iverson was physically beat up like no other player ever was night in night out and he just kept bringing it every night as hard as the last. He was there entire inside and outside offense.

He may have had his issues, but not during game time.

Stop it with the crapping on his teammates line man. Mutombo was great (DPOY), and they won off their defense (#5 in the NBA), which Iverson was not a factor in. Throw in a great coach in Larry Brown, and that team had plenty of tools. Any halfway decent perimeter scoring star could have taken that team to the finals.

Doesn't change the fact that if u take Iverson off that team. They win 20 games at best. Lol. Stop with the crapping on Iverson. Larry Brown is good but way overrated if he's so good how come he can't stick with a team.

You take one of the best players off a team and that team isn't as good? Woah, no way. This is a top 10 of all-time discussion and Allen Iverson doesn't belong anywhere near it. You could replace him with so many other players from throughout history and have equal or greater success it's not even funny (just from 2001 you could stick in Kobe, Vince, or Ray).

Remember when MJ left the Bulls the first time. That was still a 50 win season for the Bulls. That's a bs argument and u know it. Lot of people don't like Iverson because they don't agree with how he did things off the court. Doesn't change the fact that he's a great player. One of the greats.

Lance Armstrong beat the previous total for TdF victories by one. He didn't obliterate anything. By any other cycling measure, even if you don't consider the fact that he was stripped of all of his TdF victories, he is nowhere close to the best cyclist of all time. Eddy Merckx is the greatest cyclist of all time in a landslide.

Do you see anyone coming close to Armstrong's (now not official) TDF record who is currently in the sport?
 
There is definitely a little too much discrediting of Iverson in this thread. What he was able to do at his size was incredible and his efficiency is being attacked a little too much. He wasn't ultra efficient, but reading some posters here you would think he barely scored a point per shot most seasons.

Also, if you were doing a top 10 players who where 6'1 or under, Iverson would be in the top 5.

Sorry you disagree. I will never agree that he was a great player, good yes but not great. I don't give a rats *** about his off the court issues. I didn't like him as a player on the court. Too selfish, too inefficient, and far too over rated. That team would not lose to this sixers team, that team played very good defense and had shooters to go around Iverson. They would not have made the finals but that is irrelevant to a top 10 players of all time thread. Iverson is not close to this list. If Iverson was so great how come he could only drag that team to the finals one time? The east was so bad during a lot of that stretch, yet he made one finals run.

And his MVP is still the biggest joke that award has ever seen. Closely followed by Rose.
.
When players got off of his teams they played better than when on his teams. Great players make teammates better not worse.

Maybe he makes that list, I don't know who in the history is under that height. But would not be in my top 10 PG of all time list either.

Just some quick names: Isiah Thomas, John Stockton, Chris Paul, Allen Iverson, and Nate Archibald are the 5 names that come to mind.
