OT: Your Favorite 3 NBA Players of All Time

[Monte]

Frank Ramsey: best "6th man," but he could have started on any team

Danny Ainge: all around hustler on offense and defense. A good scorer, who in most games, was the only Celtic who pressed his man full court on defense.

Bill Bradley: he could shoot !

 

[StllH8L8ner]

Dominique/Mike/Larry

A lot of us showing age here. I'm guessing the 20-somethings would say a lot of Steph and Bron. Younger kids are stanning Giannis, SGA, Tatum

 

[huskiesNhoos]

Penny
Tmac
AI

 

[Mr. French]

My honorable mentions are guys like Glen Rice, Hakeem, Penny.

 

[CTtoSanDiego]

the Big O, because he could do everything.
Larry Bird, because he could to everything, plus trash talk!
Bill Walton, because he was great, (and I played pick up against him here in San Diego).

 

[husky8273]

Kareem, Walt Frazier, Walton

 

[Mister P]

Pistol Pete
Dr. J
Magic

Not a flashy name, but Norm Nixon was also a big favorite of mine. Loved how he ran the offense. Steady all around player who could score and dish out the assists.

 

[navery12]

LeBron
Melo
Jalen Brunson (some recency bias on this one)

 

[HuskyHawk]

Magic Johnson. Loved the smile the passing, the pace of play. Showtime was fun.
Larry Bird. Loved the competitiveness, the shot making and knack for making a play.
Hakeem Olajuwon. So athletic. So active on defense. Never seemed to take a play off.

 

[RichZ]

Bill Russell
Oscar Robertson
Third place is too close to pick one, for totally different reasons, between Magic and Earl Monroe.

 

[Lafayette]

1. Dr. J
2. Jordan
3. Shaq

Just b/c I met Dr. J a few times, Jordan twice, and Shaq about 4 times. All amazing personalities and fun guys.

 

[Chasm64]

Wilt
Bird
Hal Greer

 

[Deepster]

1. Dr. J
2. Jordan
3. Shaq

Just b/c I met Dr. J a few times, Jordan twice, and Shaq about 4 times. All amazing personalities and fun guys.

Those are my three in the same exact order.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Kyrie
LeBron
Shaq

 

[WrenchFan69]

Not including UConn players:

Jason Williams (the Marshall/Florida one not the Duke one)
Carmelo Anthony
Rajon Rondo

Brandon Roy probably would have been number 1 if he could have stayed healthy for longer

Anyone that died in 2003 has to be wondering how only one person's said T-Mac. Same with Gilbert Arenas a few years later.

Jokic is climbing the ladder for me. LeBron feels obvious. Kawhi might've been my third if he could've stayed on the court. I wanted to pick Draymond or Ben Wallace to show some love for defense but I can't justify it. Duncan's a guy that bored me to tears for most of his career that I'd appreciate a lot more today.

Not me - I didn't care for T-Mac in 2003 and I still don't now that people on the twitterverse are trying to make him into Kobe. I think Kobe is overrated too, so I guess it's not totally wrong.

Kobe was one of my favorite players also. But it’s true, unfortunately after his death he has been thrust into conversations which he really doesn’t deserve.

He is a borderline Top-10 player OAT, which is incredible in its own right. But, people forcing him into their top 5 or top 3 is just silly.

 

[Husky68]

George Yardley, Bob Pettit, Wilt. NBA scoring champs 1958 to1966 when I started watching. Yardley was 1st player to score 2,000 points in a year.

 

[cullaville]

Walt "Clyde" Frazier - the epitome of cool for the Knicks and Nyc
Dr. J Don't think an explanation is necessary
Ray Allen smooth

 

[JSB60]

Jordan, Bird, Oscar
