ESPN's top 74 all time rankings

I was very disappointed in how high current players are ranked. I think it is much better to rank players off of what they have done so far, not projecting into the future.
I can't believe how high Giannis was ranked. I don't think there is any way you can say he has earned a higher rank than Harden. Might be different if Giannis had a history of playoff success, but so far Harden has accomplished more there as well. If the NBA never came back, Harden would be a lock for the HOF, but Giannis wouldn't.
Also think Durant and Curry are a little high.

You’ll be very sad to know that a back-to-back MVP (he will/would’ve gotten it this year) with a top-7 PER all-time season will be a lock for the HOF.

He was a major piece in 4 championship teams. Dude could score from anywhere, was seriously clutch on both ends, and was a passing savant. One of the most creative players ever.

Certainly top 3 all time in flopping.
 
When the NBA released their greatest 50 players list in 1996, Shaq was on it. He was 23 at the time.

Donovan Mitchell is 23 now. Lol

How should I disabuse you from the media narrative that you’ve bought into?

for the record: Kobe is overrated AF

I agree on Kobe being overrated. But the media assessment of Kobe is light years more accurate than your assessment of Manu.

At his peak, he was the most dominant force I’ve ever seen. I mean, he forced the commissioner to change the ****ing rules of the game.

If he could have made free throws at a decent clip, and therefore prevented hack a Shaq from ever happening, he would have probably been able to actually 45 points per game or some crazy number like that.

I think stamina had more to do with that than anything. Shaq wasn't exactly interested in keeping in shape after he went to LA.
