trash

2 LeBron James LeBron James LeBron Raymone James is an American professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. LeBron has played for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, and the Lakers.

He lost 6 of 9 nba titles and if he didn't play with Dywane Wade & Kyrie Irvin he would have lost the other 3

This older lady who lives on my block overheard couple kids talking about lebron and I guess she was a season ticket holder late 90s with her now deceased husband. She's grey haired lady 70s and she randomly says while we're both listening to them "you know Michael didn't have to leave Chicago for a ring" I chuckled outta shock and surprise, then she's on rampage saying and naming players lebron had with him vs Mike in the old stadium days had nobody to help him until pippen came along, blah blah Yakkity yak she's talking about balling like ESPN person. She misses her husband and those times at games I guess but every thing she said was true and if an old white widow knows Michael's the undisputed king, nobody has ever gotten killed over a pair of Lebrons and he'll never get the rings King Mike has.. never ever. Lastly Michael aside from being greatest to ever ball.. period, be never EVER complained or hit walls like queen James does. - Cush77

6 Yao Ming Yao Ming Yao Ming is a Chinese basketball executive and retired professional basketball player who played for the Shanghai Sharks of the Chinese Basketball Association and the Houston Rockets of the National Basketball Association.

He's in China working at a factory that makes those drink umbrellas half the week and rubber dongs the rest of the time - Cush77

How can a guy who is 7-6 average just 9.2 rebounds and 1.9 blocks throughout his career? Dennis Rodman was 6-7 and averaged 13.1 rebounds for his career. The only reason he was so good was because of his height.

He was so trash! I don't even know how or why he is in the hall of fame. - Zakattack2

He is tall, that is all.

He played his entire 20-year career with the Los Angeles Lakers of the National Basketball Association. Kobe Bryant has won 5 NBA championships with the Lakers and is the all-time leading scorer in Lakers franchise history.

Overrated selfish prick

He is the most overrated player of all time. His career field goal percentage is 45%. His clutch percentage is around 32%. He has always been surrounded by great players during his championship runs. When he wasn't, his team missed the playoffs.

Very, very overrated. He might of got 81 points once, and I respect that, but he's only won 1 MVP. Michael Jordan won about 5 and Kobe is more overrated than him!

Too much publicity, he is great player but not in the top 10 greatest of all time

Blew a 3-1 lead by himself

He’s trash compared to Lebron. For sure not one of the greats. Only bandwagoners like him. And no, I’m not a Lebron or Cavs fan. I’m a Lakers fan. Just dumb always running into people who say Steph is the greatest of all time. - Tommy_99

15 Patrick Ewing Patrick Ewing

Why Is He At #2 - FettiMC

16 Michael Jordan Michael Jordan Michael Jeffrey Jordan, also known by his initials, MJ, is an American retired professional basketball player.

Sucks Hakeem is better

Defenders were very bad against MJ

Plagued against no competition at his position and couldn't win a title until he was surrounded by all stars

All great players who won championships had help from all star teammates.

17 Bill Walton Bill Walton

Avg 13 point and 10 rebounds for career-? Not Hall of Fame numbers?
Did have 1 good year (resulting in (Teamwork Championship)
Gets NBA credit for his college years.

18 Dirk Nowitzki Dirk Nowitzki

Dirk is not overrated or so is every superstar. His best help was Jason Terry and Shawn Marion. That was his team besides him. He got beat in a rigged 2006 finals. Look at his competition:Shaq, Dwyane Wade, and the Heat. Then the Heat in the big 3 era. All other champions didn't carry trash to the playoffs for an entire career

To people who do not play basketball, dirk is underrated. But to people who know how to play basketball, he is completely overrated. He got hot one postseason and won the finals. Other than that, he is just good at recieving votes telling him he is great, but his performance on the court tells a different tell. Great on offense, weak on defense and rebounding. I personally never seens a 7 footer weaker on defense and rebounding than dirk other than yao.

One the most overrated players in the history of the nba! His scoring numbers wouldn't be that impressive if not for 3pt line and phantom foul calls resulting in undeserved free points!

A rookie stoped him before lol

His being a womanizer or not has nothing to do with his basketball skills.

He is the worst because he is a womanizer

What is wrong with you Magic Johnson can:
Play ANY spot on the court
Is excellent on both ends
He is the GOAT of playmaking
there's nothing he can't do in Basketball
He played Center when Kareem was injured and scored 40 points
He has the 2nd highest amount of triple doubles (Oscar Robertson is first)
He is the 2nd or 3rd Greatest Player of All Time

25 Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo Giannis Antetokounmpo is a Greek professional basketball player for the Milwaukee Bucks of the National Basketball Association.
