Moses Malone

Image
 Jordan Owens Mose Malone was one of the greatest centers of his generation and also of all time this man was list at 6/10 he played the game over his height while leading the NBA in rebounding for six seasons and is a three-time league MVP while also being a 13-time All-Star and 1 time NBA champion. But even with all of those amazing accolades, it seems as people forgot how good this man was in his prime, he was a scoring machine who could defend any big man in his day. from his speed to his jump shot that he had which was unseen for his time, which now may seem weird cause you have centers who are shooting threes like it's nothing but he was one of the few who could hit the midrange. Moses Malone is a legend and an all-time great he was playing like no other and was an icon on and off the court. He was a man of the people and made everyone around him better in his play and allowed his teams to win and succeed. 

Deron Williams

May 2, 2021 Deron Williams is one of the best point guards of his generation. in the late 2000 and early 2010s he was a point guard who could give you 20 points in any game and also being able to give you Ten points at the same making him a valuable part of his teams when he played. He never won a championship but that still does not take away from the fact that this man was a bonafide point guard in what he could do and what he did was be great. even tho he stops playing not long ago people seem to forget how great this man was on the jazz and leading them into the playoffs with players like Carlos Boozer and Paul Millsap. he had three all-star seasons, three all-NBA seasons which is more than some legends in the hall of fame have which means he should be in the hall himself with his great career. Now I'm not saying he is a top 50 player of all-time, but he is one of those players that were fun to watch and played the game like a true point guard. For that I believe he deserves mo

John Stockton

 Jordan Owens John Stockton is number 1 in all-time assists and steals in the NBA he is one of my favorite players ever just by how hard he played and made everyone on his team better. Maybe the reason why he has been forgotten in history is that he never won an MVP or won an NBA final but that can't be true because there are so many other players who haven't accomplished nowhere near as much as he did in his long 19-year career, in those 19 years he only missed 22 games and that may sound weird in today's league where load management is one of the NBA's biggest problems where players are just taking time off whenever and don't want tp play.   John Stockton John Stockton just like so many other players who play similar to or play the game of the past seem to only get forgotten more and more and when they are banged up people believe that players of the new generation would just destroy them if they play in today's era and that is just not true and i think it wou

Tim Duncan Mr.Fundamental

 Jordan Owens Tim Duncan was the first overall pick of the 1997 NBA draft. No doubt that Tim Duncan is one of the greatest basketball players of all time, with him being a 5 Time NBA Champion and a three-time finals MVP, and 1-time league MVP. Hearing all of these achievements you would say he should be considered one of the greatest of all time and even though he just retired in 2016 it already feels like he has been forgotten for some reason and it is bizarre because on any day he could give you 30 points like it was nothing. Maybe it is because he was a team-first type of player. The reason why he got the name Mr.Fundamental was not because of his flashy or was selfish he played the game like people say it was supposed to be played in the concept of getting everyone involved if that means that you will win. he was willing to do whatever it took to win. There is no doubt that he is an all-time great and a winner and deserves to be talked about more when it comes to that conversation.

The Ice man AKA George Gervin

 April 18, 2021  The Ice Man George Gervin is one of the greatest NBA players to ever live. He ended his NBA career averaging 26.1 points a game, with his 13-year career he was a 9-time all-star and a 4-time Scoring Champ career but stats are not the only thing that made the Iceman so special on the court. the great Magic johnson once said the iceman was the greatest scorer that he had ever seen on the court and one of the great ones on one player of all time. The iceman made it seem so easy when he was flying in the air to the rim while also having one of the best midranges in his day and maybe of all time. The reason why he got the name Iceman was because of how smooth he was on the court where it seems hard for others it seems to come to him with ease. For some reason, he is forgotten over the years when people start to talk who is the greatest of all time or who is a top 10 player of all time. I never understood why tho he had everything he could score and defend he is one of those
