This is actually kind of cool. Disagree on the best No.1 overall in NBA history however.

Very cool.

Disagree with #5 too. Pippen or Barkley have to go there.

Barkley yes. Pippen no though its close.

You'd think there was a better No. 21 than Rondo also.

They fucked #15 all the way up :lol:

Agreed on #1 too, it's clearly Duncan or Kareem. Lebron is like the 4th best #1 pick.

LeBron should be ranked higher. I'm sure there are there are better options than Rondo. They should do a second round ranking too

They should have listed the next 3 or 4 at each spot.

Jimmy Butler will end up as the best 30th overall pick.

That's because you have a very poor basketball mind.

Going over the list it probably happens to be Rondo or Finley at 21.

See that old John Mengelt was also drafted in that slot too.

The poor basketball mind is the one that concludes a one armed bitch like Rondo brings any value outside of hustle and defense, which is available everywhere.

Jayson Williams. I remember him walking onto Letterman, I think, and in street clothes, grab a barbell with two 45lb plates on it and press it straight up over his head and then give it a couple pumps for good measure. Anyone else remember that?

defense is available everywhere? That's an amusing take.

The one armed performance was legendary. Once again your personal bias is affecting your ability to objectively evaluate players.

An argument can be made for either...imho

Yeah 5 is bad. Barkley, then Pippen, then Garnett.

At their peaks KG was a taller Pippen.

I think it’s tough to have a strong opinion between KG Barkley and Pippen. I think all three should be viewed very similarly in terms of best players ever.

Obviously KG was more in the paint while Pip was on the perimeter but both provided top-notch D and above average offense (though not superstar offense).

Pippen was the best defensive player I ever personally saw. He was the lead doberman. He could change a game in a heartbeat defensively just as much as Curry can change a game in a heartbeat offensively.

Pippen at 5.
