macktami95 · February 17, 2006, 06:47:07 PM

well for past player i would have to say michael jordan of course i could be bias because i was born and raised outside of the windy city

bobby · February 17, 2006, 07:06:26 PM

for past player i would have to either say mj or bill russell, jordan made basketball-basketball and plus being a bulls fan i'd give the edge to jordan O0

Mary · February 17, 2006, 07:10:33 PM

hades · February 17, 2006, 07:21:07 PM

back in time bill russel did dominate

Monkey · February 19, 2006, 07:57:07 AM

Hmmm. . . I'd say Kobe with LeBron a close second.

SI · February 19, 2006, 02:03:51 PM

All-time? MJ, Bird & Chamberlain.

Current? Kobe (as much as it pains me to say it), LeBron and (if he can stay healthy) D-Wade.

hades · February 19, 2006, 02:25:32 PM

all time id say the best are bird,jordan,russel,chamberlain spb.gif

Of all time, anyone not named "Kobe Bryant". Sure that leaves a lot of space for people like Michael Olowokandi & Derrick Zimmerman (if you don't know who either one of these two are... you're lucky) to be considered but I just don't think Kobe is it, has it or will ever come close to it. What is it? Didn't you see those eBay commercials?

Ethan_Hawley · February 19, 2006, 05:22:34 PM

best of right now: kobe

best of all time: oscar robertson the "Big O"

The Candyman Olowokandi! :))

Anyway...this debate needs refining to best by position! Kobe, AI, LeBron for guards. Post/wing...Duncan, Dirk & KG. All-time arguements don't fly with me because 1.) the game evolves, as well as, human training/ability evolves 2.) Players like Wilt & Mikan were 7 footers guarded by men 6'5"-6'8". Put Duncan on the block guarded by Kobe (NBA all defensive team) & Timmy gets 40ppg easy.

what is everyones obsession with kobe? yes he is good but great no, before he had shaq on his team and thatd make any team good, now he has noone and look where his team is yes he made 81 points but if he is the only one that usually shoots it its not gonna be that hard to make it to 81, plus he made 18 points off free throws

First off, if Shaq was that good, then he'd won w/o him. Shaq lost in the finals with Orlando, can't win the East in Miami, didn't win a title ever before LA, but won 3 with Kobe. Individual players don't win titles, teams do. Jordan-Pippen, Bird-McHale, Magic-Kareem, Russel-Havlechic...the list goes on. Second, if 81 is so easy if you're "the only one that usually shoots," as you say, AI-KG-TMac should all be droppin 80+ on their lacluster teams. Third, Kobe is an MVP canidate b/c if you "look where his team is," then you will see they're in playoff contention lead by HIM ALONE.

yea and i can tell u before the season is over the bulls will be in the playoffs too the nba has terrible teams this year and a few good ones, and yes shaq made kobe, of course on orlando shaq had noone to help him, of vourse kobe is good but he isnt great, he has talent very much but he is no mj, bird, johnson or chamberlain
