Dirk Nowitzki Report Abuse
First he was good, then bad, then good enough down the stretch, but for a guy who stands 7-foot, Dirk doesn't bring much to the table when his shot isn't falling. He's an below-average defender and a average rebounder -- hardly ideal for a guy being treated like a franchise player.

Larry Bird Report Abuse
A large part of his notoriety is due to marketing, the NBA was desperate looking for a white star at the time, so they overboard people with pro-Bird advertisement, no denying that he was a great player, but not as much as most think...

MJ Report Abuse

-11 points - added 8 months ago by guest - 1 comment
Comments:
Ya know, as someone who started out as a Jordan fan I gotta say that if they called the game for him like they did for other superstars, he'd still be considered one of the greatest ever but he doesn't get as many championships or scoring titles as he did. Plus he benefited greatly by playing in a league past it's golden era of great teams. He was simply on just a very good team in a decade of mediocre teams.

Having MJ's name on this list just goes to show how ridiculous and irrelevant it really is. There are a few athletes who revolutionized their sport, and whose names are instantly thought of when their sport is mentioned. Babe Ruth in baseball, Gretzky in hockey, Tiger Woods and Jack Nicholson in golf, and Michael Jordan in basketball. Quit living in denial and give credit where it's due.....

This is sickening. The man loses one Super Bowl and instantly people jump on him. While I like other quarterbacks more, he IS one of the greatest of all-time. To claim anything less is moronic.

Apparently another disgruntled Dodger, Yankee, or Pirate fan that Rose tore apart during his career just had to add him to this list. What Rose did during his playing career was remarkable. He's the greatest singles hitter in history, period. He played baseball the way it was meant to be played, and he made every team he played for better. The man was a baseball god, pure and simple. Live with it.....
