RE: Hoopshype Top 78 Ever - Ghost of Podkolzin - 08-13-2024
My thoughts...
-Kobe moved about 6 spots in these lists when he died.
-Duncan definitely over Shaq and Kobe.
-Dirk over KG.
-KD is too high.
-CP3 way too high. I'd have Nash, Stockton, and Kidd over CP3.
-Melo is too high.
-Bosh is too high.

These lists always infuriate me.
Lebron is not over Jordan. Already invalidates the list.
Duncan should be ahead of Bird, Shaq, Wilt, and Kobe.
Wilt ahead of Bird??????
KD is way too high. Narrative matters. His 2 rings carry the same weight as a bag of feathers.
Moses was an all time great. He still wasn't better than half of the guys he's listed ahead of. Way too high.
I'd actually argue that Steph is too low.
AI over Stockton is silly.
Embiid on this list is a travesty.

Quote:As in previous years, we held a team vote with the opinions of eight HoopsHype staff members, discarded the highest and lowest ranks for each player, and awarded points based on the remaining positions.
Pretty sure that the average fan board could come up with something better. Min amount of effort. Max amount of controversy/clicks/reach.
Make it an accolade, boxscore, +/- metric based list or a combination of all of those things instead of just publishing stuff without any way to understand why they ranked them the way they did.
For example. If you want to make the case that Garnett > Dirk you cannot have Carmelo > Howard. If you want to make the case that longevity matters and Malone belongs among the top 15 you cannot have current players as high. What is Malone's case over current Jokic/Giannis? And why is Curry the exception even though he has less prime/peak seasons than most all time greats?
