NBA's Top 16 (Leading towards a vote for the best)

[NjNets15]

I would ask everyone who has some NBA knowledge and watches some games, to please rank from 1 to 16, not your favorite players but who you think are the best. I will then set up a bracket 1 vs. 16, 2 vs. 15 and so on.

 

[Whisper]

Do I qualify?

 

[VC15]

Do we post them here or PM them to you?

 

[NjNets15]

Yea whisper, anyone and everyone who watches some basketball

And posting them here is fine, just note that right now im making it clear, do not comment on other's top 16s, this is just to get the rankings, do not comment.

 

[Whisper]

This one's tough. I could give you a top-16 list, but ranking them from 1-16 (Well aside from the top 3) is gonna be hard for me to do. I like thinking about things like this though.

We were told not to comment on lists but it's hard not to when ATL didn't have Tim Duncan on his list.

He doesn't have Kobe either... I love this guy.

 

[elcheato]

Oh, I guess I didn't take a good enough look, didn't notice he left Kobe out.

and you didnt even make a list. I left Duncan out yes, but EVERYONE other than me left Joe Johnson out too, which is way more ridiculous.

LMAO Joe Johnson is a good player on an average team. What's funnier is that you have two Hawks and no Kobe.

and you have Vince Carter. Hypocrite much?

Hawks average? LOL they were 4th in the east.

Key Words: In the East.
Wouldn't have even made the playoffs in the West.
