            @impartevil Over who though, plus won two rings with MJ out....he isn't a Top 10 player but had a top 10 skillset.

                @dreamcheese If he won his rings over MJ I'd honestly put him behind Duncan

                Also @jase Oscar over Wilt AND Shaq????

                        @impartevil I got Wilt on there. I love Shaq, but he’s at 11-12 in my book. If he had worked as hard as his talent, he’d be top 5. Even Shaq has admitted he was a lazy superstar at times.

                              If he had worked as hard as his talent, he’d be top 5

                              Look beyond the individual successes of Wilt and more towards the team/collective successes. It's a short list by a mile when comparing to any other top-10 player. This is largely due to the point you made about Shaq. I can't have Wilt in my top 5 because his ego and "lack of desire" prevented him from dominating on a team success level.

                                        Tim Duncan vs. Hakeem Olajuwon Comparison

                                        Since I know accolades are gonna get brought up Keem was a straight up demon Timmy had a better team and coach for a long time

                                        Give me Hakeem over Duncan and I might even say E A Z Y

                                            Prime Hakeem vs Prime Duncan vs Prime Bill

                                            Give me Hakeem every time, I’d probably take him over Shaq as well

                                            Keem not in the top 10 is crazy as fuck

                                            Tim was just better longer but the better player is Hakeem 1000 percent

                                              @ogxsuave I think they were similar skill wise so in that case I think the majority tend to give it to Duncan because of the championship success.

                                              Also I know not everybody is crazy about advanced stats but Timmy beats Hakeem comfortably in Vorp, BPM, and win shares for their career

                                                    I respect Hakeem so much one of my favorite legends for sure. Skill wise he’s arguably the best center of all time. He also had the least amount of help of any of the top 11-12 guys. I can’t say he’s better than Duncan due to longevity & Duncan’s absolute carry jobs while D Rob was old & Tony/Manu were still developing.

                                                    It’s a toss up for me. Both better than Bill tho

                                                      I respect Hakeem so much one of my favorite legends for sure. Skill wise he’s arguably the best center of all time. He also had the least amount of help of any of the top 11-12 guys. I can’t say he’s better than Duncan due to longevity & Duncan’s absolute carry jobs while D Rob was old & Tony/Manu were still developing.

                                                      It’s a toss up for me. Both better than Bill tho

                                                      I can accept this

                                                                                What’s your definition of talent vs Skill

                                                                                Like

                                                                                      @danali imagine it’s a spectrum. The player closest to more skill than talent is probably Larry Bird. The closest to more talent than skill is probably Shaq (Wilt and Giannis too). A good example of a player towards the middle (equally talented and skilled) is LeBron or MJ. Kobe is in the middle too but closer to skilled since his athletic attributes weren’t as high as MJ.
