are you like a poster at realgm.com? because all of your info seems to me like it comes straight outta those message boards....no offense....but im curious
Personally I'd rank Duncan, Garnett and Jason Kidd at least, ahead of Vince, but Vince has his own opinion, and frankly, cut him some slack guys. What's he supposed to say, "I'm #1"? If he said that everyone would be on his jock, saying he's not that good, not as good as Shaq, and he isn't, because he can't dominate like Shaq! Or if he said "I'd rank myself 10-15", then everyone would say he has no confidence and won't change.
I would say anywhere between 5-8 is pretty accurate for Vince <b>at the moment</b>. I also think he's better than Ivy. But still, that's my opinion, Vince has a different opinion. He's not right, and I'm not right either.
Shaq is in because of Shaq.
Kobe is in because he wins 3 titles.
Iverson is in becuase of the way he carries his team.
T-mac is in just because he is Vince cousin.

I think Vince was being modest. I have no gripe about where he ranks himself, I just don't like who he ranked ahead of himself. He is better than Kobe and Iverson IMO.....

I agree with your reply here. Vince might think this way because of his injury-laden year, but when he returns healthy for 02/03, we'll more than likely see the Vince that dominated the olympics star teammates!
As for his choices today( In November, he may choose differently ), they are his and I have no problem ever with the choice people make. He is entitled to choose who he wants in whatever order he wants.

Don't you think that Vince being an NBA all star is entitled to his own opinion without his "opinion" being called "a joke"? I wish people would stop bashing a personal opinion and in this case, the personal opinion of a STAR NBA player.

Completely agree. I personally don't think Vince's list is perfect, but it's accurate enough. All 5 players he mentioned are worthy of top-5 all NBA, regardless of position.
