What are your thoughts. I tried to take into account consistency, peak dominance, NBA accolades and international accolades into my ranking to give a well-rounded overview of basketball as a whole. Tier 1 is left empty because I do not think we have seen the best that basketball can offer yet.
Kareem has to be on the same tier as LeBron and Jordan, always! Has the team success of both and the individual success of both, and is the greatest high school and college player of all time.
