    I don´t see how Duncan is rated below Shaq, he has more awards, won on worse teams than shaq did, and is still a great player while Shaq has declined.

    To say LeBron over duncan is ridiculous.

    the list should go by

    1 Duncan
    2 Shaq
    3 LeBron
    4 Robinson
    5 Iverson
    ....

    Did they put 1985 instead of 1984 so they could purposely avoid Hakeem? :D

    MJ was in the same year, so if there's another chance most people would choose MJ instead of Dream.
    No disrespect to Dream though, otherwise he would be one heck of a no.1 pick.

    Webber should be infront of both Yao and Dwight, at least at this point in their careers.

    Anyone who would still take Duncan over LeBron after what both have shown so far is being myopic and closed-minded.

    Shaq is the only one I'd take over LeBron, period. And even that could be argued, depending on what LeBron does in the future.

    Duncan is a great player, but nobody would pick him over LeBron knowing what we know now.

    I will wait until LBJ wins his first ring. It's almost written but still.

    I'd have to put Duncan number 1 because he's the only one that was the superstar player drafted number 1 by the team who received the Championships for having him. I'd move AI down the list to like 6 and move Lebron to like 3

    10 Colman
    9 Howard
    8 Webber
    7 Yao
    6 AI
    5 Ewing
    4 David Robinson
    3 Lebron
    2 Shaq
    1 Duncan

    I'd bet 1 grand if Yao wins a championship, he'd move up a spot or 2.

    As much as I love Yao, Patrick Chewing and The Admiral are Top 10 centers of all-time. Yao Ming must really dominate and dominate by himself to win an NBA title to ever be greater than either Chewing or Admiral.

    Only 3 guys on that list won a Title. Only 2 of them won multiple titles.

    It goes to show that #1 picks are kind of overrated. Majority of franchises that obtain a #1 pick will achieve nothing.

    There's a reason why they have the number 1 pick. The team is terible so you are correct.
