Curious to see what people think of Paul Pierce in regards to Worthy and Dantley at 9/10.

Not even close? Should be on the list? I myself don't know which is why I propose such a question.

list looks about right, PP should be top 20, but this list looks good to me...question, would you guys rate LeBron higher or lower than Scottie Pippen though

Hondo seems too low.   

Pierce is certainly in the argument to crack the top 10 at the low end if you ask me.  Honorable mention, at worst.  Tough top 10 to crack, though.  I don't think Pierce being left out is a glaring omission by any means, either.

I would swap in Pierce for Dominique Wilkins and move Havlicek above Pippen.

I guess I kinda saw it this way myself even without knowing much about the other guys games. I'd love to see Pierce in there, but even though he's not on it, it doesn't make me hate the list.

Fox Sports did a ranking once and had Pierce at #10.

Also, very soon Kevin Durant should crack the Top 10 in place of Dantley.

Based on career. Pierce over Wilkins.  Also LeBron over Bird will likely come this year. Too bad Bird hurt his back who knows what he might have been at 100% for 15 years.

Good list.

Hondo is too low. Hondo might be the best defensive player on that list.

Dantley doesn't belong on that list. For all the points he scored he seldom made his teams any better as he was a pure chucker.

I would probably put Alex English somewhere near the bottom of the list instead of Dantley

Lebron is an easy way out quitter more interested in marketing than in basketball. I drop him down a lot on this list.

In Bird's era he is nowhere near the best sf.

Also realistically when they were both in their primes we saw Pierce spank Bron hard enough and long enough that he just gave up and called his buddies for help.

He's just a very talented over glorified slam dunk champion type guy with a very successful application of steroids.

But what do you really think? ;D
At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back goin' across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it.

lebron high
julius #2?
barry a bit high, hondo should be higher I'd actually put him against anyone on the list
pierce should be in discussion, better all around player than dantly
