The Red Reuben

Don't be ridiculous. ...Detroit ain't getting by Orlando. They are just too damn good.

Somehow, I forgot about Isaiah. I'd put him in over Stockton, but barely. Moses Malone should probably be on my list somewhere too. He was an absolute beast.

I would rather have Shaq on my team than Kobe. That's sort of how I judge it. I adored Magic too, but LeBron passed him long ago. Bird gets a lot of credit for saving the league, and deservedly so. The dude is great. I just feel a few have passed him.

I'm interested to hear yours too! I'm a little iffy on some of the later ranks, and some of these could change as time goes on. First off, I didn't know I was as high on LeBron as I was until I made this list. Judging by my initial list, I guess my all-time team is: PG: Magic, Oscar SG: Jordan, West SF: LeBron, Bird PF: Duncan, Malone, Garnett C: Kareem, Russell, Shaq With the IR guys being Hakeem, Chamberlain, and Kobe. Huh.

Wait, you think Kobe is better than Shaq? That surprises me. Also, LeBron is better than some of the people you gave a pass to. Duncan > Kobe easily, but I could admit Kobe could be = to Malone, West, and Bird.

Ben Simmons? I hope you're right. I miss when the Sixers were good. Have fun! I'm hoping I can take in my first live NBA game down south this year.

I also include it, I just don't value it as much as other skills. We can agree to disagree. That being said, maybe Durant surpasses all of 'em.

I'm strictly saying who is the better player, not who is the most competitive. If we are going by pure drive, yeah, Kobe is probably #2 all-time. At least, based on what the public has seen. His work ethic was insane. I haven't looked it up yet, but I feel there has been a bunch of evidence about how Kobe wasn't really as good of a clutch player as he is given credit for. I'll see if I can find it. Basically, I'm speculating about something I feel I read four or five years ago, that backed it up. That being said, dude has hit some crazy shots. EDIT: It feels like many articles are picking and choosing, but this one is pretty interesting. https://www.libertyballers.com/2012/2/29/2832299/lebron-james-kobe-bryant-dwyane-wade-clutch-nba-playoffs-4th-quarter

I couldn't disagree with the bolded part more. I actually thought the stats would help the argument for Kobe, but they really don't. http://www.landofbasketball.com/player_comparison/kobe_bryant_vs_lebron_james.htm . Keep in mind, LeBron still has a few quality seasons left. As for players better than Kobe: MJ, LeBron, Russell, Chamberlain, Kareem, Shaq, Oscar, Bird, Magic, Hakeem, Malone, Duncan, West... there are other guys I would place above Kobe, but I could see arguments against. Personally, I don't think Kobe is better than any of those guys up there.

The leg actually didn't look that bad the first million times I saw it. It's when he spun around that I realized how bad it was. I was watching live, and had to turn it off. Also, how could anyone legitimately argue that Kobe is better than LeBron? I just don't get it. LeBron is so good at many things -- Kobe scores a lot. Maybe I'm subliminally biased against him, but I just don't get how some people put Bryant in the top 5 all-time. LeBron is already the best SF ever. Kobe isn't even a top 3 two-guard. ...although after typing that, I'm not sure there is a definitive #2 SG out there. Jordan is obviously #1, but after him, there are a few guys who could be #2. West, Gervin.. I'd probably have to slide Kobe into #3 spot at worst. Interesting. ...but yeah, Kobe still isn't making my top five, and probably not even a top ten.

There are too many NBA people to name, sadly. Ewing, Barkley, Miller, Malone, Stockton, Nique. It's becoming less common now that more people are willing to move to chase a title.

Just wait until you start getting more characters, and work to level them up. It's really rewarding. If I get lucky with a drop, I'll have my first 4-star character today.

It helps to have FB friends who are playing too. Helps when you get unlucky in the final round of a battle. Getting close to maxing out my team. I'm running Anna "Rachnid" Eisner (F) / Benjamin Sterling (F) / Sarah "The Machine" Hamilton (F). As a lightweight, Anna attacks a ton per round, Ben breaks everyone apart, and then Sarah pierces the rest, while reducing the countdown of her allies. As I'm typing this out, I think I'll move Sarah into the lead spot so she can begin the countdown for Anna and Ben right away. Hah.

I was hoping that wasn't you -- they played like crap, and I won super easily. I'd recommend people try the game though. It's a really neat battle system with some fun characters.

Thank you so much for sharing this. Instantly a huge fan.

Has anyone else tried this "wrestling meets... tops" game? I just faced @Azazel (hopefully of EWB fame? ;)) My fiancee and I have been hooked on this game since yesterday. Only spent $5 on the initial "welcome to the game" offer, and it's been a blast.

Welp, so much for those plans. Busy week. Watched "Duets (2000)" and holy crap, was it terrible. 2/10.

I'm fairly close to a 1:1 ratio, and I'm hoping to be able to actually get there by the upcoming weekend. This has been a lot of fun.

Finally watched Airplane! (1980). Absolutely amazing. I laughed so much. So much creativity.

Two hours later, but add Expendables 3 to my list. Weakest of the three, but I don't think it's as bad as some people make it out to be. To avoid my fourth post in a row, I'll make note here that the fiancee and I will be watching Little Mermaid tonight. First time in a long time I've watched four films in a day.

Just finished Good Will Hunting (1997). Absolutely one of my all-time favourites now. I was always afraid it wouldn't live up to the hype, but oh my goodness, it surpassed anything I was expecting. This is why I love watching movies.

Adding The Expendables 1 & 2 to my list. Lots of fun.

Had no time to watch films Mo/Tu/We/Th, but catching up. Hoping to watch two tomorrow.

My list:

How about tonight/tomorrow?
