This leaves remaining, in alphabetical order,
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Larry Bird
Wilt Chamberlain
Tim Duncan
LeBron James
Magic Johnson
Michael Jordan
Shaquille O'Neal
Bill Russell
Jerry West
Now, as you will see if you compare my 2015 list with my 2018 list,
Falling off the list "upon further review" in 2018:
28. Ray Allen
29. Clyde Drexler
34. Reggie Miller
My review of their all-NBA and MVP awards left me a little cold and I decided that in 2018 I would focus more on career achievements and less on longevity/advanced stats if there were close calls. These guys dropped out, and others entered the list.
My top 10 list for 2018 will add in new members Larry Bird and Jerry West and drop out old members (already ranked) Karl Malone and George Mikan.
I am particularly proud of one thimng regarding my 2018 Top 10. If you sort by the most successful playoff performers in NBA History, you get this list: http://bkref.com/tiny/vXtDK Those are my 10 guys!! In addition, my 10 guys have 88 first-team all-NBA selections and rank 1-7, 9, 11 and 24 in MVP Award Shares all-time.
So - let's go. Time is short.
