Isaiah seems high.

No Stockton or Nash.

Or Cousy, he won an MVP, 6 titles.  Are Isiah Thomas and Wade really ahead of him?

This type of list is pretty subjective.

Zeke and Wade won NBA titles as the best player on a title winning side. Cousy did not.

That is usually the separator.

I tend to see Cousy in the 5-10 range in All-Time PG rankings. Usually more towards 10 than 5.

Plus, those guys from the 50s / 60s get lower and lower as each decade moves by. Fewer and fewer people have seen them, read about them, or even know about them.

The main names like B Russell and Wilt continue. But Elgin Baylor is largely gone from discussion. Hondo is never mentioned. Hal Greer, Sam Jones, Thurmond. Never mentioned. Guys from the 50s like Dolph Schayes are made fun of from being on All-Time lists.

Why does anyone put any stock in what Nick Wright says?
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.'

You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.
