	I know it's not your fault -- it's the magazine's -- but Vince Carter as a top 100 of all time makes me sad ...

	montecarlo:	Apr 6th, 2011 at 15:57 GMT		17 points
	if shaq were a sporcler, he would love the fact that he is beating kobe by 0.1%.

	joneli24:	Apr 6th, 2011 at 17:07 GMT		5 points
	this is why no one actually reads slam magazine

	sbshuffler85:	Apr 6th, 2011 at 19:51 GMT		9 points
	good lord that "WAS" next to MJ is hard to look at

	goose33:	Apr 6th, 2011 at 22:59 GMT		1 point
	suprised to see rodman in the top half of this list.

Comment below threshold: show it

	bmo1616:	Apr 7th, 2011 at 01:26 GMT		4 points
	Tim Duncan at #8, seems both so right and so wrong at the same time.

	dr2jai:	Oct 18th, 2011 at 04:23 GMT		-2 points
	This is a horrible list

	myphonesucks:	Aug 2nd, 2012 at 05:01 GMT		-1 points
	This is why I'm cancelling my subscription.

	varsityjock:	Aug 2nd, 2012 at 11:39 GMT		-1 points
	Frankly guys, this is not a horrible list but neither is it a good one. Statistically speaking it's about 65% right and impact-wise,talent-wise,... maybe 70% correct. HUGE errors: Gasol(this is a joke!). And Wade is too high(should be around the 70's group) when he hasn't completely proven himself worthy yet. As far as Hagan,Macauley,Pollard are concerned...i think there could be others for that bottom end. MAJOR snubs: M.Price, F.Lever, P.Westphal, J.Sikma, D.Issel, T.Cummings, C.Oakley. Check the stats (plus talent)and historical impact of these studs Slam magazine!!

	While I might have some issues with it, I have seen quizzes made out of MUCH worse lists than this. It seems that they at least thought this through, and I agree with many of the inclusions.

	mywaydimag:	Aug 2nd, 2012 at 15:14 GMT		-3 points
	It's ridiculous, and so obviously slanted to the "Hip Hop", individual way of looking at basketball. Wilt better than Russell and Kareem? (1 championship as opposed to 11 and 6). Elvin Hayes better than Bob Cousy? I could go one.

	BaronZbimg:	Aug 2nd, 2012 at 15:54 GMT		-3 points
	It's extremely biased towards modern players. No Larry Foust/Bob Davies/Bobby Wanzer/ Max Zaslofsky/Andy Phillip/Larry Costello/Bailey Howell and so on... The biggest snub though : Maurice Stokes.

	Murf1013:	Aug 2nd, 2012 at 16:10 GMT		3 points
	The list is gawd awful. Dirk at #55 is absurd. And like it or not, LBJ has already done enough to be near the top 10. 3 MVP's in 4 yrs (should have been 4 straight) and now he has a title. I don't like LeBron as an individual, but as far as what he's done on the court, can't have him at #31.

	sportfreak642:	Aug 2nd, 2012 at 16:54 GMT		0 points
	Didn't Shaq retire?

	StevieB82:	Aug 2nd, 2012 at 17:44 GMT		-3 points
	Webber is on this list? Really?

	Barca33:	Aug 2nd, 2012 at 19:21 GMT		1 point
	Where's Jeremy Lin?

	Hatfield:	Aug 2nd, 2012 at 20:09 GMT		2 points
	Hell yeah, Washington Wizards LEGEND Michael Jordan!

	Bdogrox2:	Aug 2nd, 2012 at 20:16 GMT		0 points
	Why isn't Kwame Brown on this list?

	alpha:	Aug 2nd, 2012 at 20:26 GMT		4 points
	Terrible list. After living in Dallas during the hayday of their era there, I like both Nash and Nowitzki. Nash should not be 5 spots ahead of Dirk.

	mraithel13:	Aug 2nd, 2012 at 20:43 GMT		3 points
	totally forgot Hakeem played for the Raptors.

	bigtynasty:	Aug 2nd, 2012 at 21:38 GMT		3 points
	@murf1013...mvps dont mean much. kobe only has one which proves how much of a joke it has become

	abernier3:	Aug 3rd, 2012 at 01:22 GMT		0 points
	it'd take pages for me to go into detail everything i'd do differently about this list. but...it's all opinion...so subjective comparing different ERA's.

	heatfan99:	Aug 3rd, 2012 at 01:38 GMT		0 points
	gotta hate slam magazine

	JOwenAK:	Aug 3rd, 2012 at 01:56 GMT		-1 points
	Props to Slam for not putting Melo on the list. Thought for sure he'd be there, even tho he is a bum.

	BasketballFan:	Aug 3rd, 2012 at 03:42 GMT		1 point
	I am a HUGE kevin garnett fan but he is not in the top 30 for the greatest player of all time.

	happygi1more77:	Aug 3rd, 2012 at 17:29 GMT		2 points
	Add VC3 to the Mavericks.

	hokies76:	Aug 3rd, 2012 at 18:17 GMT		2 points
	I like Shaq and Robertson but 4 and 5 is too high for both.

	JayhawkFan13:	May 6th, 2013 at 03:45 GMT		1 point
	Wade above Nash, WHAT!? Apparently being on of the greatest point guards and a two time MVP means nothing to SLAM!
