Re: Top-10 Players in the NBA
Lenny Wilkins is way underrated. He was one of the smartest players of all time and he could do almost everything on the court. Shoot, pass, rebound, and make plays in the clutch. I will say that his defense was only average.
DJ was one of the greatest defenders of all time. He could even disrupt Magic Johnson. He could shoot from mid range, pass, rebound, and generally dominate the clutch. Bird and McHale were certainly all timers but DJ was the unsung hero.
On Archibald, he was always a big time scorer and he still had plenty in the tank. I considered him too.
Yeah, Kidd would usually miss alot of jumpers early in games and his teams would fall behind. Still, he has proved his courage time and again by bagging the big time jumpers in the 4th quarter. His defense was top notch and physical. He could run a mean fast break, post up, finish, and play with an edge. The guy has always been a winner.
Nash can shoot the lights out, make terrific decisions, score from every arm angle, anticipate, and always play hard. Stronger than he looks and tough as nails. You're right though, while his team defense is alert his man to man defense has always been poor.
Isiah was great at shooting pullups and finishing but he had limited shooting range overall. Taking everything into account, Isiah was an arrogant jerk in the lockeroom. Its also worth mentioning that Dumars took the clutch shots and defended the top scorers. Most people fail to realize how great Dumars was.
Its almost impossible to compare Stockton and Payton on equal terms since they had totally different gameplans. Stockton was a pure point who shot as a last resort while GP was always looking to score. You seem to be harping on their personal confrontations.
