Y’all just gonna ignore him as a choker but put Chris Webber on blast? KG made it out of the first round how many times as a TWolve? Once? He consistently disappeared in the 4th quarter, Webber at least during the final minutes. They are actually the same player" LOL. I'm sorry, but you're a f*cking idiot. Kinda like how he disappeared in game 6 of the NBA finals? Oh that's right, he put up 30 in that game, with most coming in the 2nd half. And kinda like how he disappeared against Sacramento in Game 7 of the west semi's? Try actually watching the games KG has played, instead of looking at how his team faired (the same teams that started career backups everywhere else they played for most of his career.) Chris Webber is essentially a KG without his all-time great defense, all-time great leadership/intangibles, all of his plaques/hardware, and no dream shake. So yeah.. same player I guess.... You're an idiot if you put KG any lower then 3rd (behind Duncan and Malone.) Off pure talent alone he's a top 5 all-time NBA player. Charles Barkley is easily the most overrated PF of all-time, he isn't top 7 all-time to me, and if you wanna talk about a player disappearing in big games, Chuck is your man. “Y’all really overrate KG.

Malone has the longevity in his favor, and I think that's what people look at. Barkley, at his height, was an amazing player. The guy was a 12 rebound per game guy at 6'6, fighting amongst the trees during what was the NBA's tallest period statistically with Hakeem, Shaq, Admiral, Ewing, Mourning, Mutombo all in their primes. Good for 25-28 ppg, 4apg,and among the league leaders in Field goal% despite having to score over taller players.Could also grab the rebound and go coast to coast. My top 5 is(and this is based on who I've seen): Duncan(can't argue against the rings and the stats) Barkley Malone Mchale Garnett I got Dirk at #6 I personally think Barkley was a better player than Malone, in terms of talent and impact in their primes.

Old Robinson was the one who was guarding the Spurs opponents PF. TD was guarding shaq... TD guards OKUR not boozer, Td guards EDampier not Dirk(Dirk would have him for lunch), Td guards most of the Centers in this league, he plays in the paint with center post moves everthing he does was a CENTER position influence...(the only thing he does that its not from a typical center is is 45degrees shoot to the back board)... STOP SAYING that he is a PF... THEY knew that SHAQ was going to be at the ALL-STAR in the CENTER position, so they change it...like they have done it to VCARTER/IVERSON/TMAC... THIS IS a bussines and thats why players like AI are going to the all-star without even playing. CKAMAN is the best player in the LA CLIPERS roster this year(better than BDAVIS), he is their center, but in the NBA BALLOT he doesnt even show up (MCAMBY shows up there, WHY?) HOW can the center who is leading all centers in SCORING doesnt show up in the NBA ALL-STAR BALLOT?and MCAMBY shows up... D.LEE/BARGNANI are PF or CENTERs? 1st of all TDuncan isnt a center (this is just a way NBA figure it out to create role model players)…

Ask any true hoops expert (most of these clowns clearly aren't) and you take KG over Dirk 100% of the time. If you think Dirk can do even half (this is probably still too generous) of what KG does defensively you're insane. Take away the 3ball and KG and Dirk are very similar offensively with Dirk's jumper being better (so KG's offensive repertoire is/was prob 80% of Dirk's.) Defense wins championships and his offense is pretty damn good too. Anyone sayig dirk over KG is the same kinda person whod take Amare over Timmy right now. All they do is look at box scores and clearly don't understand anything at all about what it takes to win games ("You play to win the game!" Thanks Herm...) Also, to the McHale haters, he almost always defended Bird's guy and sometimes guarded 2s when they went with their massive lineup in '86 (walton, parish, mchale, bird, and a PG.) So to recap, a versatile and solid defender and one of the best sets of post moves ever. You can argue where he goes after Timmy but he HAS TO be top 5. (I'm going w/ 2 cuz Malone and Charles never won shit, but that's plenty debateable, KG/Dirk is like 5X5; there's only one right answer, regardless of what the kid in the back row of class that picks his nose and always smells like gym class says.) @ian – I get to say that CUZ I’M RIGHT.
