Soo!! It’s my 40th blog post and I am super excited to share my all time top 10 NBA Players.

Before I do that, I just wanted to thank all the readers who have read my blog 🙂

For those that are new this started as a college project for my Social Media Marketing class and this was my Passion Project. Basketball is one of my favorite sports and different aspects of the game have impacted my life in some way shape or form. (Those are discussed in earlier blog posts beginning in Feb.2015). I decided to write about it and once the class ended I kept writing. It was actually quite fun for me. Anyway here we go!

Honorable Mention

  1. Kevin Durant
  2. Lebron James
  3. Shaquille O’neal
  4. Russell Westbrook
  5. Damian Lillard
  6. John Wall
  7. Bradley Beal
  8. Kevin Garnett
  9. Tony Parker
  10. Anthony Davis

Now those mentioned above are legends in the making or Hall of Famers already, and I wanted to at least mention them. You may not agree with my choices but I respect them and their game.

AND here is my top 10 nba players of all time. Coming up with the list was harder than I thought it was going to be lol but I was able to narrow it down with some ties.

10. Tim Duncan

9. Dwyane Wade

8.Patrick Ewing/Alonzo Mourning

7.Vince Carter

6.Doctor J-Julius Erving

5. Allen Iverson

4.Magic Johnson

3. Stephen Curry-you may argue with me on this one lol

2. Kobe Bryant 🙂

1.Michael Jordan/Kareem-Abdul Jabaar

When I did my top 10, I based it off my fandom, so who I’ve watched, admired the most during their careers with the exception of Patrick Ewing and Magic-their primes were before I was born or I was too young to remember.lol. But now I want to hear from you guys!

You now know who my honorable mentions are and my top 10, let me know yours!

Assassin on a tear: Russell Westbrook

Posted on by

NBA: Oklahoma City Thunder at Phoenix Suns

This season Russell Westbrook has caught many by storm but not surprise with his breakout triple double season. Russ has been an assassin on the court causing high praise and often times speechless moments in that you can only say so much about a phenomenal player.

I wanted to highlight Russell for his successful season because he really sparked my interest as to how he was able to accomplish such great achievement game in and game out. For instance, in a Thunder loss Russ would still post his nightly triple double. I was in awe at how he was able to do it like it was easy. At this point it has become very natural for him.

Russ reminds me so much of a young allen iverson in the way he attacks the basket and wills his way to score each and every time.A lot of teams have a hard time guarding him just because he is very fast and most often if not will get the foul call.

Russell is still on pace to have an amazing season and be the only guard other than Michael Jordan who had a triple double streak from March 25 to April 4 , 1986 & Oscar Robertson who held a active triple double streak during the entire 1961-62 NBA season.

He is such a fun player to watch and makes the game very entertaining in a way that keeps you watching the game start to finish just to see if he will reach the triple double plateau.

Continue to keep an eye on Russell and the Oklahoma City Thunder as they make a push for the playoffs as we are nearing the All-Star Break. 🙂

In regards to the All-Star break 2017, this year’s festivities will take place in New Orleans, LA and voting is now underway.

You can vote for your favorite players by tweeting, commenting on facebook with the player’s first and last name with #NBAVOTE; visiting NBA.com/VOTE until January 16,2017 11:59pm.- happy voting! 🙂
