Ozair

the

who

pleaded

guilty

to

the

killing

of

Andre

was

also

released

So

was

Miles

whos

facing

charges

in

Ontario

Among

the

KempfferHossack

is

accused

of

having

in

his

possession

are

semiautomatic

handguns

shotguns

rifles

ammunition

and

a

highcapacity

magazine

The

Crown

contested

his

release

at

a

bail

hearing

on

Jan

but

the

judge

ordered

him

released

under

strict

conditions

including

house

arrest

In

the

end

it

didnt

matter

KempfferHossack

was

led

from

the

Ottawa

courthouse

in

handcuffs

to

face

more

weapons

charges

in

Gatineau

and

will

remain

in

custody

until

his

bail

hearing

there

later

this

month

Defence

lawyers

object

Several

lawyers

objected

to

Bordeleaus

comments

questioning

the

bail

decisions

AnneMarie

McElroy

of

the

Defence

Counsel

Association

of

Ottawa

said

she

was

surprised

by

the

chiefs

remarks

adding

they

reflect

neither

the

presumption

of

innocence

nor

the

right

to

reasonable

bail

Defence

lawyer

Lawrence

Greenspon

said

judges

presiding

over

a

bail

hearing

take

into

account

a

number

of

factors

including

protection

of

the

public

and

the

seriousness

of

the

charges

They

also

must

consider

the

likelihood

that

the

accused

will

reoffend

as

well

as

prior

criminal

records

If

the

judge

determines

after

hearing

from

both

the

Crown

and

the

defence

that

that

person

should

be

given

bail

and

the

Crown

hasnt

proved

the

grounds

to

hold

them

then

they

have

to

be

released

Greenspon

said

New

bail

guidelines

The

releases

come

as

the

Ontario

government

grapples

with

the

question

of

how

to

reform

the

bail

system

to

address

the

provinces

overburdened

detention

facilities

and

in

response

to

several

recent

Charter

decisions

Crown

attorneys

have

been

issued

new

guidelines

for

when

to

press

for

continuing

custody

and

when

not

to

I

think

the

directives

have

gone

out

to

the

Crown

attorneys

across

the

province

to

have

a

closer

look

before

they

say

they

want

a

particular

individual

held

in

custody

Greenspon

said

Is

that

translating

into

an

easier

release

in

the

court

I

dont

think

so

But

certainly

the

intention

is

good

Hello

Private health insurance in Canada deemed inefficient People either pay higher private health insurance premiums or get lower wages due to claim gap CBC News Posted Mar 24 2014 1200 PM ET Last Updated March 24 2014 Private health insurance should be better regulated in Canada say researchers who found the gap between premiums and payouts in claims reached 68 billion in 2011 About 60 per cent of Canadians are covered by private health insurance for healthcare services such as prescription drugs healthcare economists say Most are insured through their employers with forprofit firms dominating the industry said study author Michael Law of the Centre for Health Services and Policy Research at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver When we looked across the forprofit insurers in Canada over the past 20 years for the plans that are typically bought by individuals and small or mediumsized employers there was a pretty dramatic change in the gap between the premiums people paid in and the benefits that got paid back to them Law said in an interview Whereas Canadians were paying in a dollar and getting 92 cents back in 1991 they were paying a dollar and getting 74 cents in 2011 Canadians need to realize those costs are ultimately passed on to them directly in higher premiums or indirectly as lower wages Law stressed Obamacare insurance model While most health care in Canada is paid for publicly Laws team said private health insurance plays a major supporting role particularly for prescription drugs dental services and eye care The expenditures totalled 227 billion in 2010 or about 12 per cent of healthcare spending according to the Canadian Institute for Health Information Generics slow Canadian drug spending growth White House in social media blitz to sell Obamacare to youth In the US when a greater share of premium revenues goes toward administration and profits under the Affordable Care Act known as Obamacare the excess has to be rebated to plan members to the tune of 11 billion in 2012 Canada has no such requirement the studys authors noted in a study published Mondays in the Canadian Medical Association Journal titled The increasing inefficiency of private health insurance in Canada We ought to consider regulating private insurance more effectively and I think the US can provide a pretty good model because based on our numbers Americans are now actually doing better than Canadians in terms of how much theyre getting back out of their health insurance plan Law said Options for better value The studys authors said governments could take a couple of approaches to improving the situation replace private insurance with more efficient public alternatives or impose new regulations on the private insurance sector For prescription drugs the authors said evidence supports savings from universal public coverage at a societal level Regulation such as provincial requirements for more transparency on nonmedical spending from private insurance firms would likely give Canadians better value they said Law said when he started to see the findings small business owners expressed frustrations to him about how their costs generally rose one or two per cent every year benefits were going up five to 15 per cent every year When Jeff Chatterton of Kitchener Ont looked into health insurance coverage for his family he decided the expense wasnt worth it for himself his wife and sons aged four and six We were around 200 a month and 2400 buys a whole lot of dental care and orthotics in a year said Chatterton owner of Checkmate Public Affairs which specializes in crisis communications for the travel and tourism industry The math didnt just not make sense It didnt make any sense Chatterton said hed like to have health insurance and hed reconsider if the price went down or his familys needs change The researchers analyzed 20 years of reports from the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association and adjusted for inflation The association said without private insurance coverage pressures on scarce public resources would be greater The group called the study misleading In an email a spokeswoman for the industry group said the researchers did not include data from the notforprofit sector As well the group said that including income replacement benefits such as disability and critical illness insurance that are not healthcare expenses further skews the data Law countered that he wanted to look at forprofit insurance only for an applestoapples comparison He said the association itself groups data such as critical illness insurance as related to health The research was funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research Law has consulted for Health Canada on unrelated pharmaceutical policy research With files from CBCs Amina Zafar CBCs Journalistic Standards and Practices About CBC News Report Typo or Error External Links Canadian Medical Association Journal

CBS Sports 50 greatest NBA players of all time Where do LeBron Curry rank Twenty years after the NBA celebrated its original 50 greatest were updating things a bit by CBS Sports Staff Feb 17 2017 31 min read Twenty years ago at the 1997 NBA AllStar Game the NBA celebrated its 50 greatest players in history in a ceremony that remains one of the most iconic tributes weve seen in sports The players out on that floor in those jackets made for a surreal collection of talent representing past and present Now as we near the 20year anniversary of that event at this years AllStar festivities in New Orleans we thought it would be a good time to go back to that list and do some adjusting with two extra decades of evolving evaluation and new players to consider Taking the average ranking of our seven panelists we came to the conclusion that nine active players have done enough to earn a spot on the alltime top 50 list while 19 players from the original list including Robert Parrish Bill Walton Tiny Archibald and James Worthy have fallen out And so without further ado let the debating begin as we present to you a revised ranking of our 50 greatest players in NBA history 50 Kawhi Leonard At 25 he is the youngest player on this list and he has already drawn Michael Jordan comparisons This is absolutely nuts for a player who was drafted No 15 overall and had the statistical profile of someone who is destined to play a complementary role in the NBA at least in his first few seasons per DraftExpress Leonard won Finals MVP in his third season has two Defensive Player of the Year awards already and has grown into not only the premier wing defender in basketball but one of the best allaround offensive players too There are some other current names that were just short of Leonard on our list Tony Parker Vince Carter Russell Westbrook but Kawhi got the nod for his allaround impact and hyperefficient production When his career is said and done its not hard to imagine him going down as a top20 player in history 49 Dwight Howard The winner of three straight Defensive Player of the Year awards from 2009 to 2011 Howard was perhaps the most dominant defensive center since Bill Russell While his prime seems relatively short now he is one of three centers Shaquille ONeal George Mikan to be named to the AllNBA First Team for five straight seasons While his post game has deteriorated as he has lost a few steps athletically there was a time when he could destroy defenses with a simple drop step and a dunk He had a strong case for MVP in 2011 the year that Derrick Rose 48 Dominique Wilkins His duel with Larry Bird in Game 7 of the 1988 Eastern Conference semifinals is well chronicled and it is also representative of Wilkins competitiveness He battled all of the greatest scorers of his generation and he always held his own Far from just an explosive dunker he could score from just about anywhere From 1984 to 1994 10 full seasons he never once averaged fewer than 26 points Teammates marveled at his ability Doc Rivers recently told ESPN they assumed he was working on his game in secret because of the way he improved all the time without doing much at practice 47 Reggie Miller Eight points nine seconds The Spike Lee feud Reggie Millers career was filled with memorable moments but the real testament to Millers greatness was his longevity Miller shot better than 40 percent from 3point range in 10 seasons and still averaged 145 points per game in his final year Miller was the NBAs alltime 3point champion until Ray Allen upended him and will likely slip to fourth behind Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson but that shouldnt take away from his status as one of the greatest shooters the league has ever seen 46 Ray Allen The NBAs alltime 3point champ for a while until Steph Curry knocks him off definitely deserves to go on the list A twotime champion what people forget about Allens career is how great he was with the Bucks and Sonics Allen in his prime could score with the best of them and he was never considered a minusdefender until age robbed him of his athleticism In fact want a reminder of a young Ray Allen Check out the first play on this clip Allens litany of incredible playoff moments is topped by his making The Shot vs the Spurs in the 2013 Finals Arguably the greatest shot in Finals history it tied Game 6 in the waning seconds with Miami on the brink of elimination Ray Allen was a killer who always made the teams he was on infinitely better 45 Bob Pettit You can argue that Bob Pettit was the first true stretch four The NBAs first MVP he finished eighth in league history in scoring per game with 264 for his career He made 11 AllStar teams despite lacking the reward of the 3point line for his limitless range Pettits legacy suffers in part because he did so much of his scoring in St Louis no longer an NBA city and in part because he did it in the pretelevision era for the NBA Nor was he merely a scorer despite playing mostly facing the basket he grabbed 162 rebounds per 44 Kevin McHale Not just here because of his fine acting work on Cheers McHale followed a stellar college career in Minnesota with a decadeplus stint as part of the greatest front court in the history of the game Remarkably despite the presence of Larry Bird and Robert Parish McHale found a way to shine earning seven AllStar appearances scoring with remarkable efficiency leading the league in field goal percentage twice and generally doing everything required of the power forward position without getting in the way He was a Karl Malone without the offensive centerpiece freedom 43 George Gervin So smooth such grace and agility so much more than that trademark finger roll Gervin is one of those guys who wouldnt look out of place in todays league that long 6foot7 frame playing up at shooting guard or small forward four scoring titles elite leaping ability leading and a rebounding rate uncharacteristically high for a volume scorer Nobody could keep Gervin from getting to his spot not at the hoop or from that deadly midrange Even in that final season for the 198586 Bulls Gervin averaged 162 points per game played in all 82 and showed how to be 42 Gary Payton The Glove Arguably the greatest point guard defender of all time Payton led the Sonics to the Finals in 1996 and came the closest of anyone in the 90s to beating Jordan in the Finals He would make two more appearances late in his career with the Lakers and Heat winning a title as a role player in 2006 In his prime Payton was sheer havoc on both ends of the floor and his combination with Shawn Kemp made the Sonics one of the most entertaining teams of the decade Payton was a ninetime AllDefensive Team player and the cherry 41 Elvin Hayes Nobody could stop Elvin Hayes No one He scored 39 and grabbed 15 rebounds against Kareem AbdulJabbar in 1968 during his college days to help Houston beat UCLA in the first nationally televised college basketball game a game that put the sport on the map He led the NBA in scoring with 284 points per game in his rookie year He averaged a doubledouble in 12 separate seasons leading the league in rebounding twice And nothing kept him from the court His career low for games played in any of his 16 seasons 80 Eight of those years he played 40 Dolph Schayes Schayes was an early draft miss by the New York Knicks Offered significantly more money by the Syracuse Nationals then of the Basketball Association of America the Bronxborn Schayes chose the Nats instead going on to 12 AllStar appearances and once Syracuse joined the NBA winning the 1955 NBA championship Schayes an oxstrong 6foot7 could bang with anybody with his toughness and skill level best exemplified by the year he played with a broken shooting arm learning how to shoot with his off hand and becoming even harder to guard It is fair to wonder how Schayes would be regarded 39 Rick Barry The pride of Roselle Park New Jersey Barry was simply unstoppable whether on the court averaging 356 points per game in his second season and defining the small forward position for a generation or by fighting the NBAs parallel fight to Curt Flood in MLB in bringing about what we know today as player free agency Barry averaged 408 points per game in the 1967 NBA Finals then jumped to the ABA Hes primarily known today for his underhanded free throws and ability to sire NBA players but Barrys excellence defined the ABA and really every team he ever played for Long live the granny shot 38 Paul Pierce The Truth No MVPs No DPOYs One title No FirstTeam AllNBA selections No historical seasons of statistical excellence relative to the rest of the league No specific category he was dominant in How does Pierce finish here He won games On his own he dragged the early Boston teams to the playoffs and late making big play after big play for the Celtics and even the Nets and Wizards Pierce is one of the most clutch players of his generation and never failed to defend at a high level A capable playmaker shooter and finisher Pierce was someone who could 37 George Mikan It is difficult to overstate how dominant he was in his era It is also difficult to overstate how different that era was to todays NBA These two facts make it almost impossible to rank Mikan who completely destroyed defenses with a combination of height and skill that had never been seen before Perhaps his greatness is most easily measured by his lasting influence on the sport The league widened the lane and introduced a 24second shot clock because of him and every semiserious basketball player knows what the Mikan drill is 36 Bob Cousy Did you know he averaged 184 points over his 14 seasons Cousy was not just the fancy passing whiz who confounded defenses with his ballhandling ability that was way ahead of its time he could also get buckets for himself just about whenever he needed He preferred to pass though and orchestrated awesome Celtics offenses on the way to six championships one MVP and 12 AllNBA selections including 10 straight appearances on the AllNBA first team When you see all these whirling point guards of today with their fancy dribbling and flashy passing think of Bob Cousy He was one 35 Isiah Thomas Thousands of words have been devoted to the redefinition of the point guard position in the last couple of decades but Thomas early80s game would have fit just fine in todays NBA He could dominate a game scoring and passing in 198485 he averaged 212 points and a leaguehigh 139 assists He is also one of the best and most memorable playoff performers ever with two championships a Finals MVP 12 AllStar appearances and five AllNBA selections on his resume 34 Allen Iverson The best pound for pound player label became a cliche long ago but it was applied to him for a reason Nobody his size took more punishment than Iverson who had an unparalleled ability to get in the paint challenge the giants fall to the floor and jump right back up and do it again His inefficiency on offense means he is viewed less favorably in the age of advanced statistics than he was during his prime but there is no denying the impact he had on the game nor the fearlessness he displayed on the court One spot ahead That 2001 Sixers team is in the conversation for leasttalented teams to ever make the Finals Iverson dragged them there and even got them a win against a great Lakers team with the famous Tyronn Lue stepover A great scorer an MVP a Philadelphia legend forever and most importantly the man who crossed Michael Jordan into oblivion 33 John Havlicek The foundational Celtic Eight championships a perfect 80 in NBA Finals matchups far more than just the Havlicek steals the ball moment from the 1965 Finals A scorer astride multiple eras starting his run of dominance while Dolph Schayes still roamed the court and playing in all 82 games in his final season earning an AllStar spot in Adrian Dantleys NBA Havliceks versatility was the real secret to his success as a sixth man capable of defending guards or forwards and scoring in myriad ways 32 Walt Frazier The finest Saluki of alltime ask contemporaries about that first moment watching his wizardry in college at Southern Illinois Walt Frazier is the real hero of the Willis Reed Game While a hobbled Reed scored the first two baskets all Frazier did to seal New Yorks championship was put up 36 points and add 19 assists Frazier was a true combo guard capable of getting his and finding everyone else as the situation dictated Red Holtzman was a brilliant coach but much of his brilliance and that system of sharing the ball began with Fraziers ability to do it Plus his postcareer work is the stuff of legend 31 Patrick Ewing Id argue he is one of the few Knicks greats who is legitimately underrated its not his fault he played in the Eastern Conference during the Jordan era and had to share the center spotlight with Hakeem Olajuwon and David Robinson His New York teams were built around his physicality scoring ability and intimidating presence on defense In retrospect Ewing needed much more scoring around him but that didnt stop him from making the AllStar team 11 times and the All NBA team seven times with three AllDefensive team selections as well If your first thought upon seeing his name is Ewing Theory please spend some time on YouTube 30 Clyde Drexler The Glide is the best player in NBA history to dribble with his head down and I wish he had played in a different era I cant help but think hed be considered differently if he wasnt in Jordans shadow He was an incredible athlete and a nearunstoppable scorer who still doesnt get enough recognition for his passing and rebounding People tend to mistake his unorthodox jumper for a lack of fundamentals and skill Aside from shot attempts and usage his career stats are strikingly similar to Kobe Bryants 29 Jason Kidd Hes one of the best and most creative passers ever but also so much more than that Kidd has more career rebounds than any other point guard in NBA history and hes one of the best defenders to play his position With 10 AllStar appearances six AllNBA selections and nine AllDefensive team selections he is one of the most accomplished players of his generation He should get bonus points for adjusting to life as a role player late in his career helping the Dallas Mavericks to a title and becoming an excellent spotup 3point shooter Coming out of college nobody Check out Kidd going headtohead against the next guy on this list two of the greatest point guards to ever play 28 Steve Nash Nash despite being beloved by everyone who played with coached or covered him remains a divisive figure in any alltime conversations be it for alltime players or point guards Many consider his two MVPs to be robberies particularly his 2006 award over Kobe Bryant But while Nash finished third all time in assists his lasting legacy is what the Seven Seconds or Less Suns did The Golden State Warriors of 2015ongoing dont exist without Seven Seconds or Less Neither do the 201314 Spurs Nash was the engine of one of the greatest offenses of all time and as much as 27 David Robinson The Admiral Robinsons claim to a spot here is based on sustained excellence He played at his peak level from 1993 to 1998 with one season lost to injury In there was his MVP 1994 season when he averaged 30 and 11 with three blocks per game Hed win two titles once Tim Duncan showed up and his class and integrity provided an alltime example for that organization to help establish their legendary culture 26 Elgin Baylor This 11time All Star scored more than 27 per game despite playing without the 3point shot and alongside stars like Jerry West and Wilt Chamberlain You simply couldnt block his shot Hed hang in the air until a defender had already descended Baylor was unfairly tagged with a reputation for failing to win the big one ignoring things like his eight NBA Finals runs and going up against the Boston Celtics He once scored 62 in an NBA Finals game Game 5 1962 Remarkable classic small forward 25 Dwyane Wade Our Matt Moore is adamant this is insanely low for Wade whom he calls the thirdbest shooting guard of all time behind Jordan and Kobe Obviously other panelists werent quite as high on him Wade is a threetime NBA champion though he was only the best player on one of those teams His 2009 season 30 points 50 rebounds 75 assists 22 steals 15 blocks per game is one of the finest not just of his generation but in NBA history Its not really a knock to say that Wade wasnt as good as LeBron pretty much nobody is or 24 Kevin Durant Durant much like Wade might be underrated here He has an MVP a Finals appearance four conference finals appearances with another likely coming this season four scoring titles and another secondplace finish in 2013 while shooting the revered mark of 50 percent from the field 40 percent from 3 90 percent from the line If Durant wins a title this season and the MVP he rockets up this list likely past Stephen Curry whose name youll also see here in just a second 23 John Stockton The correct entry here is simple AllTime Assists Leader by 3700 assists Mic drop Stocktons status is always overlooked because he wasnt spectacular What he was was efficient precise and meanasallgetout Players still shake their heads in awe of how ahem intense Stockton was on the floor Read He could bend the rules from time to time Yes he played next to Karl Malone but just as Malone gave Stockton all those assists in the legendary Utah pick and roll Malone equally benefited from Stocktons passing An Iron Man competitor who only missed 22 games in 19 years Stockton also But again the passing is what everyone will remember 22 Scottie Pippen How does a guy who wasnt the best player on his best teams land this high Well hes a sixtime champion seventime AllStar seventime AllNBA selection and a 10time AllDefensive team member But more than that Pippens combination of defensive excellence athleticism and playmaking unlocked what made those teams Bulls great Jordan was always great and in fact had better individual seasons before Pippen arrived But Pippen was a sublime passer maybe the best wing defender in NBA history and he dunked on folks with no regard for their dignity The secondbest player on the best team of all time 21 Chris Paul More than anybody else on this list you have to wonder how wed talk about him if hed won a championship or two Paul is beyond a basketball genius Hes one of those rare few players who can completely control a game with his mind At 31 hes nowhere near as quick as he was when he entered the league but hes still the best twoway point guard on the planet An underrated scorer his 200809 season in New Orleans stands out as one of the greatest ever at his position 228 points 11 assists 55 rebounds and 28 steals 20 Charles Barkley The Round Mound of Rebound has a legacy thats hard to unwrap Hes unquestionably one of the greatest power forwards to ever play the game and his MVP 1993 season with a 26125 line is one of the most dominant of its era He beat out Michael Jordan for that award and not many people complained for crying out loud His questionable defense and inability to space the floor look like detriments in retrospect but those criticisms are marred by a lack of context of where the league was at the time Known as much for his gregarious personality and 19 Stephen Curry Millennial bias Perhaps a bit as Currys appearance in the top 20 will likely ruffle some feathers based on his short fiveyear run as a truly toplevel star and only three seasons as an elite player But his 20152017 run quite simply obliterated historical expectations of what is possible for a shooter His 2016 season in which he hit 402 3pointers a number that quite frankly causes aneurysms for NBA historians stands as arguably the greatest individual offensive season in history Think of Curry as the Terrell Davis currently of the NBA If he retired tomorrow fans would still speak 18 Julius Erving We now recognize what Dr J turned out to be nextlevel athleticism that foreshadowed where the NBA was headed His acrobatics have kept him on highlight reels decades after he played But dont miss his allaround game Get lost in the behindthebasket flight and you miss things like his topten finishes in ABA rebounding and blocked shot leaderboards part of why he led the circuit in PER each season and is the ABAs alltime leader in the catchall stat He was efficient and deadly from all over the court He transitioned into a veteran leader of the 198283 NBA champion 17 Dirk Nowitzki The Greatest European NBA Player Of All Time Nowitzkis influence on the game is starting to be felt more and more as tall forwards like Kevin Durant show how a 3point shooting big man can alter spacing in ways no one could have imagined 20 years ago A gentle soul with a competitive fire Nowitzkis MVP season in 2007 will stand up to any in history and his 2011 Finals MVP performance should probably go in the top 10 Nowitzkis durability and consistency only add to his 12time AllNBA status 16 Karl Malone For being such a bad ass Karl Malone goes down as a sympathetic figure in many ways The NBAs second alltime leading scorer played 19 years and averaged more than 20 points per game in 17 of them He averaged doubledigit rebounds in 10 of them He shot over 50 percent from the field in 11 of them He was a twotime MVP a 14time AllNBA player and a fourtime AllDefense player But he played in the Jordan era Malone was a beast on both ends and along with Jerry Sloan and John Stockton formed the foundation of one of 15 Kevin Garnett There may never have been as complete a player as Kevin Garnett in NBA history LeBron James defensive greatness has never quite reached Garnetts level and no defensive specialist has ever come anywhere close to Garnetts peak transformative game inside and out Everything that makes Draymond Green amazing Think about that amped up with nuclear steroids and you have the prime Big Ticket KGs greatness wasnt just his prime though it was the way he anchored the championship team in Boston and adjusted his game to help the Celtics win Garnett also goes down as maybe the most intense competitor 14 Moses Malone The NBAs forgotten great No one talks about Moses Malone among the alltime legends And that my friends is stupid Malone was a threetime MVP who in the Sixers 1983 championship season averaged 245 points 15 rebounds and two blocks per game Malone goes down as arguably the greatest offensive rebounder of all time and played an incredible 21 seasons in the league He was also revolutionary as a prepstopros trail blazer and a man beloved by everyone who played with him The best trivia piece about Malone He had a deep love and devotion to red soda pop 13 Jerry West Another legendary Laker is three spots above him on our list but theres still an argument that West is the secondbest shooting guard of alltime You cant fault him for only winning one championship in eight trips to the Finals as he earned the Mr Clutch nickname by consistently dominating in the playoffs In the 1965 postseason West averaged 406 points 57 rebounds and 53 assists but it wasnt enough to beat the Boston Celtics in the Finals with Elgin Baylor injured In his final few seasons The Logo proved he could have been one of the best point guards 12 Oscar Robertson Hes known as the tripledouble guy but he was more like LeBron James than Jason Kidd he should also go down as one of the best scorers in NBA history The Big O averaged 257 points on 485 percent shooting in his 14year career and defenses had few answers for his ability to get to the basket score in the post or shoot from midrange When he was in college NYU coach Lou Rossini summed up his strategy against Robertson succinctly via Sports Illustrated Put your four best men on Oscar Then tell your fifth man to cover his teammates 11 Hakeem Olajuwon Olajuwon rarely is discussed as one of the greatest centers of all time but look at his resume Twotime NBA champion twotime Finals MVP an MVP twotime Defensive Player of the Year 12time AllStar Olajuwon was truly a twoway great something you cant say about most of the other centers on this list Olajuwons post moves were spectacular and his ability to pass out of doubleteams to 3point shooters were kind of the archaic beginnings of the 3point revolution 10 Kobe Bryant His place on this list is all the more impressive when you consider he wasnt a freak athlete in the same way Jordan and James are Bryant doesnt have massive hands or arms that stretch forever and he couldnt just bully his way to the basket over and over He simply worked on his craft to the point where none of that stuff mattered He is the closest weve ever seen to Jordan in terms of skill footwork and the nearpsychotic devotion to winning Elite guards generally dont have 20year careers but the obsessive Bryant did it with 17 AllStar 9 Shaquille ONeal Probably the most dominant physical force in league history Shaq not only reshaped what people thought of when they thought of a center defining it as a mountain of a man but ONeals gregarious personality and nimble feet and touch made him unlike anything wed ever seen ONeal was a phenom in the early 90s with Orlando a firebreathing dragon with a wide gluteus maximus in LA and a wise elephant protecting the herd in Miami In his prime there was simply nothing you could do against him except hope hed miss at the line hence HackAShaq A fourtime NBA champion and threetime Finals MVP its surprising that Shaq won just one league MVP in 2000 when he was offthecharts dominant in garnering all but one vote In his prime you could pencil him in for 27 points and doubledigit boards on around 60 percent shooting His power has yet to be matched by anyone else and likely never will be If youll recall he actually made the original list of the 50 greatest NBA players in 1996 after just four years in the league and indeed though he wouldnt become one of the greatest players ever Enjoy 8 Larry Bird Imagine if Bird had played in the 3point volume era The 3point line was a gimmick back in Birds day so he didnt use it as much as he would now Yet still Bird shot 504090 in 1985 In fact you could argue that nobody has ever played basketball better than Bird did from 198486 when he won three consecutive MVPs and two of his three championships His 8485 season was downright ridiculous 287 points 105 boards 66 assists 16 steals and 12 blocks The 8586 team that lost just once at home in a 67win season is considered by And Bird wasnt just one of the best scorers and passers to ever play Nine times he was a top10 rebounder Three times he was top10 in steals Four times he led the league in defensive win shares two times he led in overall His numbers are just eyepopping and yet they dont do him justice Theres a legend to Larry as the nickname goes An alltime trash talker who you cant really truly appreciate unless you sort of grew up watching him play Magic Johnson and Bird went from bitter rivals to the best of friends and Magic even went so far as call Bird the greatest basketball player ever Magic Johnson said that Watch the following video and youll get a glimpse as to why 7 Tim Duncan The Big Fundamental made major strides in this list over his final four seasons securing his fifth championship Duncans numbers dont pop off the page but he was always ready to lead his team with whatever they needed Desperately need a bucket to break a run The turnaround bank shot is there Need a stop on the road in a playoff game Duncans defense would rise to the challenge Duncan remained an impact player all the way through 2014 as the Spurs returned to the Finals after losing to Miami the year before and cemented his legacy as one of 6 Bill Russell Maybe the most beloved player in NBA history Russell carries with him far more than his 11 championships Russell literally invented the blocked shot and opened doors for AfricanAmericans in the league Russell is most widely known as being the ultimate winner and that matters on a list like this where talent and to some degree production particularly across eras is almost impossible to differentiate in some cases You just cant argue with 11 titles and that kind of leadership 5 Kareem AbdulJabbar The NBAs alltime leading scorer notches a topfive spot and admittedly that seems low for his resume Cap played a remarkable 20 seasons in the NBA and shot over 50 percent in all of them except his last at age 41 His patented skyhook is maybe the most iconic and most indefensible shot in NBA history and his six championships and six MVPs along with an incredible 19 AllStar appearances boggle the mind Kareem was as close to unstoppable as anyone outside of Jordan in the modern era and to be honest its kind of strange that hes rarely talked the best Perhaps weve made that same mistake in undervaluing him on this list but were pretty comfortable with the next four names 4 Magic Johnson The greatest point guard of alltime and to this day the man most identified as the ultimate Laker though Kobe is in that conversation too which gives him the slight edge over his former teammate AbdulJabbar Think of it this way In Johnsons rookie season he led the Lakers to the Finals and in Game 6 with Kareem AbdulJabbar out with a bad ankle Johnson stepped in and played pointforwardcenter A fivetime champion and a threetime Finals MVP Johnson also helped pave the way for Jordan with his charm and star power and likewise paved the way for James with 3 Wilt Chamberlain We could stop with Wilt Chamberlain averaged 50 points and 26 rebounds per game for 80 games in 1962 Just think about that for a second Done OK then I hope we can all agree Chamberlain was the most dominant statistical player of all time I mean the man averaged 30 points and 23 rebounds for his career Chamberlain always stood in contrast to Bill Russell who was the dominant defensive player defined by his winning attitude whereas Chamberlain was instead maybe the first prototypical superstar Either way his production was undeniable his legend uncompromising and you can see the rise of advanced analytics in sports analysis in his reflected ranking here 2 LeBron James The guy who was anointed The Chosen One in high school not only embraced the hype but exceeded it Even at St VincentSt Mary his combination of size athleticism and feel for the game let you know he had the potential to be an alltime great He delivered on all that promise by evolving in every facet of the game taking care of his body and becoming arguably the smartest and most complete player in basketball With three championships and three Finals MVPs four Most Valuable Player awards and perhaps the greatest threegame run in NBA Finals history last June 1 Michael Jordan The Greatest Of All Time Michael Jordan wasnt just the greatest scorer weve ever seen on top of being an AllDefense player and the greatest competitive spirit weve ever known He fundamentally changed the nature of sports becoming a oneman brand that transcended not only his team but his sport Jordan made the NBA popular and redefined the very nature of what it meant to be a cool professional athlete A sixtime champion with six Finals MVPs a fivetime MVP a 14time AllStar and a 10time scoring leader Jordans greatness still casts a shadow over the league one that LeBron The next
