![]() ![]() He could definitely provide the assist and was talented with it - just not very willing to make the pass. Rebounding wise was good and had some big games (even in his bad G7 in the finals of 2010, it's a good example on him workin on the boards). He was a good all arround player, even tough not excelent. He wasn't among the most efficient scorers ts% wise, but his very low TOV% makes him more efficient than his ts% makes him look like. And really consistent from season to season, from playoffs to playoffs. ![]() Kobe was a very good volume scorer for a big portion of his career. Really, I don't feel strongly that one guy stands out at this point so talk to me, you guys backed me off Curry, sell me on your guy. That and, like Hakeem, he was a guy who produced deep into the playoffs, something Oscar never really got the chance to do in his Cincinnati days. Then we have West and Oscar Oscar produced better offenses but the other end never held up like it did for the Lakers despite their hole in the middle and West was an excellent defender so I give him some of the credit for that. Curry would be my choice if he had even one more year as a top 5 in the league player, but the critiques of his durability are right, and durability matters (as it does for David Robinson). Garnett has him on length of prime and durability though. Robinson did much more with weak teams pre-Duncan and even post injury, he was the defensive force on the Spurs 99 championship even more than Duncan while Duncan had passed him on offense. Jerry West - The Garnett arguments almost convince me each time but then I look at David Robinson. Larry Bird - Again, a whole lot of greats very close here, could be Garnett, West, Oscar, Kobe, DRob, Moses, Erving, it's almost pick em to me but more convinced of Bird's case.ģ. George Mikan - yes, he was that dominant from what I can tell yes his league was that weak, it's a balancing actĢ. There's only one player left who was THE best player in the game for any extended time (Pettit a couple of years, Curry a couple of years). ![]()
