Top 25 in NBA History


1. Jordan
2. Lebron
3. Kareem
4. Wilt
5. Russell

(Wilt Chamberlain is forever embedded in the Top Five. To leave him out would be like leaving Joe Louis out of the Top Five heavyweights of all time, or leaving Jim Brown out of the Top Five football players, or Babe Ruth out of the Top Five baseball players. Can't happen... ever.)

6. Hakeem
7. Duncan
8. Shaq
9. Kobe
10. Bird

11. Magic
12. Oscar
13. Giannis
14. Jokic
15. Durant

16. Pippen
17. Moses Malone
18. Curry
19. D. Robinson
20. D. Wade



21. Karl Malone
22. Bill Walton
23. Kevin Garnett
24. Dirk Nowitzki
25. Joel Embid

If you were to look to replace any of the Top 25 here, these are a likely five to choose from:  

Isiah Thomas
Jerry West
Elgin Baylor
Luka Doncic
Rick Barry
