I also think Oden was willing, and serious about becoming the best basketball player he could be. Unlike Dwight mugging for the camera, and acting like a spoiled child throughout his career. I liked and apologized for prime Howard more than maybe anyone on this board and even I don't think he'd have been much of a rival to a healthy Oden. It's a shame that the similarly more talented Embiid looks headed for that same fate. |

We haven't had a great big in a while. |

No way. You're all overrating Oden. All you had to do was listen to him talk. He was a goofball. There is no guarantee that he would have developed a post game. He would have definitely been a perennial defensive stud, but that's it, IMO. |

Everyone got it right for the most part, IMO. It's Grant Hill with penny we a close second, and it's also silly for T Mac to be on there. Might as well have Kobe and his Achilles on there. |

Lil' Penny is the biggest loss. |

Bill Walton would have been top 5 all time if not for the problems with his feet. |

Replace T Mac with Embiid |

Grant Hill b/c he's remembered for playing basketball (albeit intermittently) rather than for, say, looking older than Bill Russell does now or for being in commercials with an animated Chris Rock yelling 'Tyra Banks!'. |

Grant Hill Penny would have been John Wall, nice player, not an all time great like Hill was going to be. Why isn't D Rose on the list over Tmac. |

Probably Hill, though he certainly got paid as though he was never hurt. The Magic still haven't recovered from that contract. |
