Seems like they read my post. "Mamba mentality" "Our generations Jordan" instead of a stat or impact metric based case. Fun part is that compared to past lists he is overtaking players. I wonder why...

For comparisation. Top 10 players of the decade (Hollinger in december 2009).

1)Duncan
2)Garnett
3)Kobe
4)O'Neal
5)Nowitzki
6)LBJ
7)Nash
8)Billups
9)Wade
10)Pierce

To sum it up. There is no consistent criteria on any given ESPN list.
