	Garnett over Duncan?

	What is the source of this quiz? Is it you opinion? There are some serious problems with it either way. Bill Russell was a center not a power forward. Oscar Robertson was not the best point guard of the 1970's (he retired in '74 and was on the downside of his career by 1970). Abdul-Jabbar (not Abdul Jabbar) was the best center of the 70's hands down. Bill Walton wasn't even close. Also, Scottie Pippen and Kevin McHale probably don't belong on this list and Karl Malone deserves to be on here ahead of Barkley.

	What is the source for this? There is some real finagling to make this work: Bill Russell & Willis Reed were PFs? Dr. J was a SG? The Big O should be identified with the Cincinnati Royals (or Sacramento Kings, if you're using only current team names.) Its too easy with the teams given; suggest you take that out. Also, why not go back to the '50's? That would make it harder.

	I'm disappointed to see neither Karl nor Moses Malone on here.

	The first name I typed was Duncan. As soon as that didn't work, I quit the quiz. No knowledgeable basketball fan takes KG over Tim Duncan.

	KG vs. Duncan is a close call... very close... However, the following mistakes are INEXCUSABLE!!! Robertson - 60's - NOT 70's Russell - Center - NOT Forward Bill Walton? Seriously? 223 games in the 70s... only THREE meaningful seasons (51, 58 & 65 games) where he was more than a role player. Why he gets listed in the NBAs 50 greatest is beyond me. Heck, even contemporaries like Bob McAdoo, Artis Gilmore and Truck Robinson were HUGE compared to Walton and get NO mention ANYWHERE. Just because he got hurt and has ONE championship as a STARTER doesn't make him a legend. Then, to bump Jabbar to the 80's and bump Reed to PF (also only 1 meaningful season in the 70's) is ridiculous. And all of this without also putting Elvin Hayes as the PF? Erving - Should be at Forward - in 70's or 80's Moses Malone - 80s C Just very bad.

	I should have known that this quiz would suck when the first comment was added by the creator, who felt he needed to tell us that his quiz was "awesome". This quiz was anything but "awesome". The mistakes correctly noted above are just beyond belief. What a joke! Huge waste of bandwidth.

	Who even thinks of Bill Russell as a power forward?

	kraffcook:	Feb 9th, 2011 at 06:09 GMT		6 points
	first guess was "Abdul-Jabbar" and you didn't accept that. fail

	vizli:	Feb 9th, 2011 at 11:19 GMT		4 points
	Abdul Jabbar did not work. Reed and Russell were center. Erving was a forward. Fail.

	smellyrebel:	Feb 9th, 2011 at 12:49 GMT		7 points
	For the record, Julius Erving was a small forward, not a shooting guard. I like that you tried to get Russell and Chamberlain on the same list, but they were both centers. Although it is close, Barkley was probably not better than Malone. Duncan is definitely better than Garnett. Walton's career was too short to be considered the best of a decade. This is quite flawed. I'd do some more research before trying this again.

	You are freaking nuts. I hope your understanding of reality is better than your understanding of NBA history. I'm not even going to go into some of your decisions, cause they are all bad.

	bothg:	Feb 9th, 2011 at 13:32 GMT		5 points
	Bad quiz. Duncan, Malone? Why Pippen? Robertson in the 60's not 70's.

	Sorry....I'm always taking Duncan over Garnett.

	pippen? please

	Check your facts bro. You are wrong all over the place. Mark it as an opinionated quiz next time, and consider this: Gary Payton was the best PG of the 90s. Owned Stockton every time they met, playoffs included.

	Joesh:	Feb 9th, 2011 at 23:25 GMT		5 points
	DUNCAN = 4 rings, 3 finals MVPS, 2 league MVPS, 1 ROY GARNETT = 1 ring, 1 MVP. YOU DECIDE.

	not that big of a deal, but Jason Kidd also played with the Suns.

	nickb1603:	Feb 10th, 2011 at 02:37 GMT		1 point
	^^ along the same lines, Barkley was on the Rockets for quite a few years, that should be listed in his teams.

	its abdul-jabbar

	Duncan is the best power forward ever. Period.
