Which of these players do you think is better and why?

Favorite Answer

.Ewing. could do everything david could do and also step out to shoot the 3
.Scottie pippen easily.he pretty made poiint foward popular. he was so well rounded and the best sidekick in the history of the nba
.most will say magic but i say bird. bird was a much better score and was very efficient.his game lasted so long because he didnt need athletisism. magic had a more entertaining style of play though
.Karl Malone. no specific reasons i can think of.just a more useful player
.Shaq.Much Stronger in the post cuz of hiis size while duncan was sorta skinny. shaq was a great passer for the center position.
.Julius Erving. if erving played in baylors era he would grab 16+ boards a game too.
.michael jordan. not going into details. jordan was better than kareem
i gotta say jerry west because of defense and closing out games. west was a great rebounder for his size while big o had the height advantage.
.Dikembe Mutumbo.was this question nescceray. mourning played a few year. they were great but they werent mutuumbo like

1. I would go with Ewing because I always thought he was better, but Robinson was a winner so I could see why some people would say him
2. Pippen, better defender and helped Jordan win 6 rings, but worthy was one hell of a player
3. Magic Johnson was better. He was a better passer, won more, and brought showtime to the NBA
4. Malone, he's better offensively and lasted very long in the league
5. Duncan, he wasn't as dominant as Shaq, but Duncan at age 37 is still going strong and has won more consistently, 4 rings over like 8 years.
6. Jordan, best player of all-time
7. Robertson is very overrated at times, but I could see how people would go with him. I'm honestly not too sure. I guess I would side towards Robertson though
8. Erving is better, had a huge impact on the league
9. Mourning was better offensively but mutombo was very good defensively but I'd go with Alonzo
10. Rodman, was one of the best rebounders of all-time if not the best....Show more

1. Ewing ( D Rob lackluster in post season)

2. Scottie ( The D & work ethic)

3. Larry ( The guy is a warrior a better rebounder, defender and scorer than Magic and best passing Foward of all time. Magic is not the best passer at his position. Magic had a better and more accomplished career, but Larry was the better player. In 86 Magic couldn't beat the Rockets, Bird barbecued them. The East was also a gauntlet compared to West where Magic played.

4. Charles ( Karl was a better Foward, but Barkley was a better basketball player. Also feel Malone lose composure in Big Games. No one played the 90's Bulls as well as Barkley)

5. Shaq ( This is a serious debate but Shaq takes 3 teams to finals, a top 5 Rookie year all time, 2nd in FG%, 7th in blocks, 6th in scoring, and 14th all time in rebounds)

6. I have to think about this. Hard to compare a SG to a Center. Kareem is probably the most resilient player in NBA history top 3 in blocks, rebounds, and scoring. Jordan is probably the most tenacious combination of Offense and Defense. Ill go with Jordan by a hair because I only saw Kareem's later years.

7. Jerry West the ultimate clutch closer.

8. Elgin Baylor. Dr J is a glorified Dominique Wilkins. Sub par FG%, and got best by Walton in 78. Not to say Baylor didnt have his fair share of losing finals

9. Alonzo Morning because better offense than Mutimbo. Both supreme defenders.

10. Rodman even though Parish had better work ethic. Rodman great defender and rebounder....Show more
