After weeks of TDing, I've come up with my list of the 50 greatest NBA players. For those that didn't see, I did them in groups of ten. I won the first two, tied on 21-30, lost on 31-40, and then tied 41-50. In a case of a tie, I took my list because that's how I roll. So, without further adu, here's my list of the 50 greatest NBA players

4. Bill Russell
5. Magic Johnson

9. Shaq
10. Tim Duncan
11. Jerry West
12. Kobe Bryant

14. Karl Malone

Nice list, I agree with most of it. I like how Kobe is at 12, outside the top 10.
