Dwight Howard Reportedly Headed to Lakers in Four-Way Trade

Haha you made yourself clear, don’t worry. As for my PF rankings…
Greatest: Duncan, Malone, Garnett, Barkley
Best: Duncan, Barkley, Garnett, Malone
I think that looks good. Centers is trickier…
Greatest: Russell, Kareem, Shaq, Wilt, Olajuwon
Best: Wilt, Kareem, Olajuwon, Shaq, Russell
Anybody else wanna join in?

KOBEEEEEEEEEE! Jordan Sucks! Kobe Rules. We’re gonna be 2013 champs and all Miami and OKC can do is watch,

Lakers suck, all Kobe is is a ball hog!

The Center’s are extremely difficult. Idk, at their peak, i’d take Wilt, but after that, idk, i’d probably just rank them the same as you, but it’s crazy difficult to know for sure. i wish i got to actually see more Wilt and how he effected games. I know individually he could do whatever he wanted, but I also know he wasn’t a killer. All of the “LeBron doesn’t have the killer instinct talk” is how you can define Wilt. Wilt was more worried about seeming great and being loved at the same time. Hakeem, Russell, Shaq & even Kareem to an extent just wanted to kill everyone. But what’s different for all of them is the circumstances that shaped them as player. Shaq for example, idk if he would have ever become the absolute force he became without that Finals series against Hakeem in ’95. Getting destroyed like that was an eye opening experience for him. Something Wilt never really went through, mainly because Russell wasn’t punishing guys offensively.

LAA BABY

OMG!! The Magic are so stupid they got nothing, they could have traded DH to the Nets for a better deal. This deal get them NADA. The worse trade ever…

i totally get it. you definitely can, and that does play into my belief that the 66-67 76ers were the greatest team of all time. but Wilt’s whole championship count is the problem. At his best when he averaged 50 the team went 49 and 31 and they lost in the East finals. — in 66-67 he put up 24, 24, and 8 – amazingly ridiculous numbers that are more than boosted by the style/speed/rules of the game back then. the numbers are so screwed up that it’s impossible to rely on that too define the player. Especially considering that team had 3 future hall of famers, Billy Cunningham, Chet Walker, and Hal Greer all being ranked typically in or around the top 100 players of all time. That’s a stacked team to win a title with. So it’s not like he overwhelmed his way as an individual to win, or even really carried any team to a title, and that really hurts him in my book.

Best* team of all time lol

afflalo, harrington, euro guy, moe hark, mcroberts, eyenga, 3 first round picks, 2 second round picks isnt that bad for a team building for the future. they have a lot of flexibility and no crazy contracts…besides hedo but im sure hes gone by the time the season starts. lakers got better but so did philly n denver.

No Walt Frazier Taylor?

Good lists taylor, but ugh, you’d better move lebron to the front, at least the best line, I suppose you can save greatest for a couple years.

nbk, damn. I messed up on that one. Take out Kidd/KJ, insert Frazier.
Caboose, I thought long and hard about that one but I think Malone had a better career (outside of ring count) than Russell.
Tarzan, maybe LeBron is too low on the best line but I still have Prime Bird being better than current LeBron.

One of the reasons Moses is in my top 10

kobe had arguably the greatest center ever for his 1st 3 rings, and for his mvp ships he had arguably the best 4 and bynum. not to mention prime LO coming off the bench, playing a more-than-significant role. Now kobe has 3 other hall of famers (pau is a sure lock with his international achievements) and it shouldnt even be considered his team imo. I admit that i dont like kobe, but anyone who sincerely thinks that hes more than just one of the pieces now is also biased, plain and simple!

Everyone is forgetting that bynum is a better all-around player than Howard sure he won d player of the year but so did Ben Wallace he just a better walace both r injury prone….

@Brainwashers chill out the Faker not go win the ship they not getin the ship as long as LBJ at the top of his game

not go be a parade in L.A.

The worst thing about all of this…I have to root for the Heat…

not go happen as I was sayin

This is probably one of the most stacked NBA starting lineups ever.

Im sure he wont see this…but all I gotta say is that pposse said like halfway throught the page that MWP had hall of fame credentials………………

If artest is the worst player in your starting lineup then your in pretty good shape is all I’m saying

if kobes assignment is to guard shooting guards then def think he is one of the best to guard that position still..he is still taller than most if not all sg and he is smart enough to anticipate moves before they happen..the sg position in the nba right now is not great in depth so he doesn’t need to be an elite defender…just a good one which he still is..plus out of all players in the league kobe get the most leeway wen it comes to reaching in

The Lakers probably do have the best starting line of all-time. You have two former MVP’s and a top 3 player and potential MVP himself every season in Dwight. Granted, Kobe and Nash aren’t what they used to be but they are still at least top seven(Nash more so than Bryant because Kobe is still arguably the best SG) at their positions While Dwights the best at his and Pau still being arguably a top five PF.

cosign blackphantom… and F*CK that Lboogie guy. this thread took FOREVER to read smh. jesus i barely remember prime garnett.. i gotta go watch more basketball smh
