So I asked ChatGPT for a list of the best players. I ran it 3 times so see if its opinion would change. For the most part, the list remained the same, with KG and Dr. J making an appearance on the 3rd list. The order seemed really locked in, only a couple of players moved around. Hakeem moved into the top 10 kicking Kobe down on one list. The top 7 never moved.

The only one that I would move up would be Bill Russell, seeing as how he 11-peat’d with the Celtics.

  1. Michael Jordan
  2. LeBron James
  3. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
  4. Magic Johnson
  5. Larry Bird
  6. Shaquille O’Neal
  7. Tim Duncan
  8. Kobe Bryant
  9. Wilt Chamberlain
  10. Bill Russell
  11. Hakeem Olajuwon
  12. Oscar Robertson
  13. Karl Malone
  14. Jerry West
  15. Moses Malone
  16. Dirk Nowitzki
  17. Charles Barkley
  18. Kevin Durant
  19. Stephen Curry
  20. Dwyane Wade
  21. John Stockton
  22. David Robinson
  23. Elgin Baylor
  24. Isiah Thomas
  25. Scottie Pippen

Not bad IDK if I would say D- Wade is top 20 in NBA history but I’m having a hard time arguing it

I always forget just how good curry is and my opinion of him with regards to the all time greats will fade. Then I’ll watch him play late one random night when he is absolutely cooking and I’m reminded that he is, in fact, insane.

Insane is such a good descriptor for him! Hard to use that word for anyone else playing right now

GPT’s last scrape was 2021, so this is before Curry’s 4th championship and his Finals MVP. I agree though, I would still put Curry higher
