Greatest Basketball Players Ever List

1) Russell
2) Jordan
3) Jabaar
4) Chamberlain
5) Magic/Kobe
6) George Mikan/Havlicek
9) Duncan/Shaq
10) Bird / Dr. J
12) Oscar Robertson (just flipped flop him and West. He averaged a triple double but Kareem carried him in the finals but I think he was better)
13) Jerry West (Wilt Chamberlain won Finals MVP in 1972 which is West only championship. He won 1969 Finals MVP but they lost)
14) Bob Cousy (maybe should be higher but who will I take down?)
15) Hakeem Olajuwon/Moses Malone







Reason why Havlicek is on there and not Pippen just in case you were about to say something, Havlicek has that signature moment with







Greer is putting the ball in play. He gets it out deep and Havlicek steals it! Over to Sam Jones! Havlicek stole the ball! It's all over...It's all over! Johnny Havlicek is being mobbed by the fans! It's all over! Johnny Havlicek stole the ball!"







Let me tell you what’s funny about that signature moment though. That was in the 1965 Eastern Conference Finals. LOL!!!!! How many times have you seen that play? 1 million.







Still though, Pippen does not even have anything like that though.
