I'm too young to be taken seriously here but Kobe? I always thought of him as a top 20 player, top 15 max. Maybe in terms of accomplishment but I would rather have Timmy D' and KG on my team.

Kobe is borderline top ten (Just puked). Arguably 2nd best shooting guard behind MJ, arguably 4th best guard (have to put MJ, Magic and the big O ahead, possibley West). So that's 3-4. Need to put Russell, Wilt and Kareem ahead. That's 6-7. Throw in Bird and Duncan and you have 8-9. So does he get put ahead of Olajuwon, Shaq, Havlicek?

I simply cannot understand Wilt over Russ?  Please explain the rationalization especially from a Celtic fan.  With 11 out of 13 I think a better argument can be made for Russell over Jordan than Chamberlain over Russell.  And I did see them go head to head many times.

Let me seeeeee.....following my theory of rings it goes sooommmmeethhhinggg liiikkkeee

1 Russell and Tim Tebow....11 (technically a halo is a ring)
2 Sam Jones..10
3 tie between 4 Celts named Havlicek, Heinsohn, KC Jones, Tom Sanders -8

so far I like my list

4 tie between Robert Horry, Frank Ramsey, and Jim Locutsoff - 7

5 tie between Kareem, Jordan, Cousy, and Pippen - 6

6 tie between a bunch of 2nd tier Lakers, etc.  Kobe, Michael Cooper, Magic, Derek Fisher, Steve Kerr, Slater Martin, George Mikan, Don Nelson, Jim Pollard, Dennis Rodman, Larry Siegfried, Ron Harper - 5

7 tie between Shaq, Robert Parrish, Will Perdue, Kurt Rambis, Horace Grant, John Salley, Jamal Wilkes, Bill Sharman, Frank Saul, Vern Mikkelson - 4

8 tie between Larry Bird, Tony Parker, Manu Ginolbli, Kevin McHale, Toni Kukoc - 3

9 tie between Bill Walton, Danny Ainge, Hakeem Olojuwan, Pau Gasol, Mr. Kardashian - 2

I see no reason to change my list.
