NLSC Elite (and not so elite) Player Rankings

Guys smaller than 6'0"... comparing their careers:

Muggsy Bogues (2)
Nate Robinson (6)
Spud Webb (4)
Earl Boykins (5)
Tim Hardaway (1)
Terrell Brandon (3)

Muggsy Bogues (4)
Nate Robinson (6)
Spud Webb (3)
Earl Boykins (5)
Tim Hardaway (1)
Terrell Brandon (2)

^^^that list is most accurate IMO.

I think Muggsy was better than Spud. Much more longevity in his career, even had a few double double seasons (I think)... with double digits in points and assists in the middle of his career.

Muggsy versus Spud is an interesting debate. Muggsy did average a double double one season, but Spud was a better scorer.

Spud was a better defender, but Muggsy wasn't bad.

I think I would have to give the slight nod to Muggsy just because of how good he was at running a team. He consistently put up fantastic numbers in the assist category, and his career scoring average can't be much lower then Spud's.

It really depends on who the "First" option is..

^^

Anyone of the "superstars"

Rashard Lewis (1)
Josh Howard (4)
Lamar Odom (3)
Antawn Jamison (5)
Richard Jefferson (2)

NB: Tim Hardaway was always list at 6'0" so he's not in list....

But he was shorter than his listed height. I think that's a fact. He's actually closer to 5'10"

Why is Nate Robinson being mentioned?

I just wanted to see if anyone would rank him higher than Earl Boykins.

Rashard Lewis (4)
Josh Howard (3)
Lamar Odom (2)
Antawn Jamison (5)
Richard Jefferson (1)

should add Mighty Mouse to the disussion.....he's 5'11.

Yes, forgot all about him! He did awesome in his rookie year and went down from there I beleive...

EDIT: Was gonna start a new thread but this can go in here!

Top Ten Players in the World

^^ That's their opinion... how would u rank the 15 players they have listed?

Wade (8)
James (5)
Bryant (1)
Nowitzki (4)
Nash (7)
Duncan (3)
Iverson (6)
Garnett (2)
Arenas (10)
Anthony (11)
McGrady (9)
Paul (15)
Marion (14)
Pierce (13)
Brand (12)

I guess it depends on what you define as 'best'... for me, I judged by what I think of as what the player has acheived and their talent...

I hope this is great for a discussion

Wade (6)
James (4)
Bryant (1)
Nowitzki (5)
Nash (9)
Duncan (3)
Iverson (7)
Garnett (2)
Arenas (8)
Anthony (13)
McGrady (14)
Paul (15)
Marion (10)
Pierce (12)
Brand (11)

This isn't MVP, otherwise Nash would be a lot higher in list, but yeah, out of those 15, In order:

Bryant
Wade
James
Duncan
Nowitzki
Pierce
Iverson
Garnett
Anthony
Brand
Nash
Arenas
Marion
McGrady
Paul

Bryant
James
Garnett
Duncan
Wade

Pierce
Brand
Nash
Anthony
Arenas
Marion

... Chris Paul

damn your anti- Chris Paul campaign.....CP3 is the truth

They should have either Billups or Kidd on that list at the expense of Paul atm.

Even with his natural ability and talent, who plays harder than Wade? Who sacrifices their body more? Who gives more to their team? Others are certainly on the same level in that regard (A.I., KG, etc.), but no one tops Flash.

c'mon, this is bullshit....AI is THAT guy, with perhaps only KG challenging.

So why not the top spot for Kobe? He still has yet to show that he can win without Shaq. A tired storyline, and probably not fair at all, but still true.

neither has Wade....it's a team game, one player can't win it himself.

*jumps on the Arenas bandwagon*

That's why I put him so high

That article is just hyping young players. Paul rated a best player already? And god knows Wade isn't the best player in the world... yet, anyway. Where's the good vets? Shaq? He's still one of the best. Allen? Carter?
