So since we have quite a few hoops fans and footy depresses me at the moment, name your top 5 players, not who you think are the greatest just guys you love/loved watching.

1. Michael Jordan (obviously)
2. Magic Johnson (his name really sums him up)
3. Shaq (loved watching the big guy just wreck people)
4. Reggie Miller (biggest shit talker but had the skills to back it up)
5. Kobe (awesome in full flight)

1. Dirk (biased)
2. Jordan
3. Kemp
4. Magic
5. Nash

Great list man. Kemp's a forgotten man but an absolute beast in his prime.

 

[Struggle]

Carter
Iverson
Nash
T-Mac
Westbrook

 

[Dale4captain]

Jordan
Iverson
Maravich

Couldn't keep it to 5. Unfortunately i was too young to see majority of these guys in their prime, but I've watched countless hours of footage.

 

[mambavino]

Kobe
AI
Shaq
Magic
Jordan

 

[fronkalicious]

1. Curry

3. Jordan
4. Nash
5. Garnett/cassell/Olajuwon/pippen/penny

She has wanted to be on wwe for years to & this was before Bubba Ray went back

Can you imagine Candice and Joey Ryan doing their schtick on wwe tv? lol

Joey Ryan should be run out of wrestling.

 

[Hard Ball Get]

1. MJ
2. Shaq
3. Steph
4. Ewing
5. Kobe

After some thought Kobe comes out and AI goes in.

 

[Igloo]

Joey Ryan should be run out of wrestling.

I've figured it out, you're Jim Cornette

 

[TiAn_]

Jordan
Iverson
Carter
Shaq
Young Larry Johnson/Kemp

Christ it's frustrating being a Tottenham Spurs support, but what a fairytale for Leicester. Kudos to the club that came out of nowhere to win the English premier league

5000-1 odds at the start.. I wonder if anyone had a thousand pounds on them at that odds... Millionaire

Anyone watching Blazers vs GSW? Putting up a good show.

Not quite good enough.

Opened up the most recent issue of Australian Geographic and my grandpa is in there

Very good game atm.

 

[immortalmike]

It'd be a shame if Golden State have one of the greatest seasons of all time and then bomb out of the playoffs. Damn injuries.

NBA's MVP award is voted on 5,4,3,2,1 by 130 accredited sports writers and 1 aggregate vote of fans who vote on-line. So 131 5 votes are available - 655 votes in total.

Never in the history of the game has any player received all possible 655 votes....until now. Steph Currie amazingly received every possible vote he could have received in the award. The first unanimous verdict in NBA history.

I have no words for how good this guy is.

My top 5 players:
1. MJ
2. Kevin Garnett (the type of player I modelled my own game on as a Center/PF)
3. Jermaine O'neal (see above)
4. Tracy McGrady
5. Eddie Griffin R.I.P. (loved watching this guy at College level, just an absolute wrecking ball, offensively and defensively. One of the best shot blockers IMO). Struggled with off-court demons, ruined his career and life. Could have been anything.

He's pr0n for sports fans. Complete sporting perfection. Never seen anything like it.

 

[fronkalicious]

I take that back. I have seen it before. Michael Jordan. That's it.

Steph deserved it. The team is strong but he is changing the way you play basketball. Just makes your jaw drop watching him. Has a chance to write his name up with or above the great one, which I never thought could happen. I hadn't watched much hoops for a few years pre-Currie but he is getting me to watch again.
IF you were ever a fan/player/just shot a few hoops, it is worth watching Currie.

Yep. Just needs to keep doing it long term.
