Terrible list if you ask me; some very stupid placements. Posted the rest
 
Oscar Robinson not in the top 10 is a fucking travesty.

Holy shit, that is a terrible list. Curry is at 19, not sure he should really be in the top 50. I'd definitely put Leonard above him. Wade, Gary Payton , Kidd, Stockton and Pippin too.

Might be the worst list I've ever seen.

Eh the only two things that really stuck out to me were that Dwight Howard has not done enough to be called one of the 50 greatest of all time at all, and Chris Paul was about 20 spots too high at the least.

Otherwise everyone seemed to be roughly within +/- 5 spots of where I would have put them, which is about as good as can be expected of something like this.

Top 13 is largely fine, although I would rearrange some spots. It's after that when things get a little silly. Isiah is way too low, Kawhi doesn't belong quite yet, and Steph Curry 5 spots ahead of Durant is nuts.

Oscar's not better than the guys ranked above him. The triple double thing inflates his reputation .

dude is an android with the AI of Kobe and MJ. and he's only 25
He shouldn't be on any top 50 all time player yet. As you said he's 25! I see this list as if they retired tomorrow would they be in the hall of fame.

I can say with certainty that he would not be in the hall of fame if he retired tomorrow.
 
Durant has put together an amazing 10 year run to start his career. You guys act like he's a rookie or something. He's had a better 10 year stretch than most Hall of famers. If anything he's ranked too low.

Wasn't Shaq in the 50 greatest players of all time at around the same age?

Even though I admit to Lebron being the best player I've ever seen, it feels weird seeing him put above the likes of Kobe, Duncan, and Shaq. I don't know why.

Leonard being up that high is some bullshit. I love the guy but it's too soon.

First thing I noticed, personally. CP3 higher than Allen Iverson and Steve Nash? Whaaaa?

Chris Paul is always going to be higher than Iverson and Nash on these kinds of lists because he has already had a better career than either of them.
