Generational players
Wilt
Russell
Dr J
Kareem
Magic
Bird
Jordan
Shaq
AI
Vince
Kobe
Steph
Lebron
Wemby - next
Julius, Vince and AI are the only non goat level players on there because what they did for basketball can’t be understated. They definitely are not generational from a pure basketball impact (eg Tim Duncan or Hakeem is better easily for example) but basketball is what it is because of them. Generational requires talent and face of the league innate charisma. They were low on the talent and impact side and goats at the other side.

Not at the risk of falling to the 9-10 game.
Sounds like the Warriors might sit their guys on Sunday vs the Jazz.

9/10 seed is set up for failure.
2 “playoff” games then a matchup with the #1 seed who’s been off for a week while you’ve had a game every other day.
Lakers lose the tiebreaker to the kings for #8, so Lakers can’t tank.

And it’s a team award/recognition, like having a Jersey retired. It’s not the hall of fame. Franchises can honor whoever they want based on whatever criteria they want, IMO.
Iverson is one of the most beloved Sixers ever. More than enough to warrant a stature at a team building.

Crazy as the West was this season, some of teams that did not qualify for the play-in could be better/much better next season - Jazz, Grizz, Spurs and Rockets. Insane.

Yeah, that makes sense.
Phoenix gotta go to Minnesota with potential one-seed implications on the line, so it may not matter.

Sounds to me like they need/needed a point guard

Rocky Balboa got a statue but Allen Iverson can't get one?

I'm 200% good on meeting Brooklyn's asking price for Bridges.
Donte is playing his prospective role for 40% of the price, and we could keep our picks.
