Wilt, Shaq, Hakeem or Russell. Can't go wrong with any coming off the bench.

Personally, I'm keeping Malone.  I think he's probably the most underrated player of the 90s.  Never got the respect he deserves.  Incredible amount of win shares, 4th all time VORP and still third all time in scoring.  No disrespect to Garnett either, who was an all timer as well.  Also, it's extremely close.

I'd be fine with Steph over the Big O.  Both are transcendent players and Steph played against better competitions.

I just think Steph can get on one of those rolls, like in the Olympics last year, were you just know he's going to hit shots. And you have more than enough ball handling on that team with Magic, Jordan and Kobe.

And I get it with Malone over Garnett. I just think Garnett would be a better rim runner with the offense on that team.

If we're going to go down the hole of the guys on this list and their problems Karl wouldn't be alone.

As an evangelical Christian, I never understood why this was a problem

He may have impregnated a 13 year old when 20, denied paternity of multiple children he later admitted to after they were raised, and harassed Vanessa Bryant (whose late husband is also a very bad person who is sportswashed to an insane degree); but at least he is not woke and a man of god.

Nah, I'm not suggesting we ignore Karl's crimes, just not single him out when there are plenty of guys who shoot hoops well that have done real bad stuff as well.

If Durant ain't #1, then this is a fake poll.

I see your point, but the list of crimes worse than pedophilia is a very, very short one.

I don't disagree.  Forcible rape is also kinda bad, no?

Despite 2 Finals MVPs, the guy can't lead a team to a title.

Unlike Jimmy Butler, who joined the same team KD joined and has 0 titles to his name.  Now that guy can lead a team to a title.

Jimmy is wildly overrated
