NBA G.O.A.T. List

It's one of the most debated questions out there. Who is the greatest player in NBA history? It isn't one that is easily answered. However, I have attempted to make a list using only a collection of stats. Without further fanfare, here it is: *some stats estimated

1. Wilt Chamberlain*

2. Julius Erving

3. Michael Jordan

4. LeBron James

5. Hakeem Olajuwon

6. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

7. Vince Carter

8. Jason Kidd

9. Tracy McGrady

10. Karl Malone

11. Kevin Garnett

12. Allen Iverson

13. Antwan Jamison

14. Spencer Haywood

15. Tim Duncan

16. Charles Barkley

17. Dirk Nowitzki

18. Mitch Richmond

19. Shaquille O'Neal

20. Kobe Bryant

21. World B. Free

22. Magic Johnson

23. Reggie Miller

24. Alex English

25. George Gervin


That was just the top 25. Normally, these lists are very opinionated. However, this one is entirely stat based and also takes into account the talent of teammates in each candidate's best season or two. I have added a few players that usually wouldn't be considered for a list like this just for reference, I'm sure you can find them.
