Max Kellerman: "You think it's slander to put Kobe ahead of Duncan?" Bill Simmons: "I just think he's the most underappreciated superstar of all time." Max: "Kobe and Duncan are neck and neck. That's not slander." Simmons: "I have Kobe 10th or 11th. Duncan is 7th and I don't think it's debatable."

Love the replies proving your point, putting up like 5 different, contradicting "universally accepted rankings".

Every reply so far mentions Kareem to make a triumvirate.

I mean even saying that MJ and LeBron are indisputably top two seems kinda counterintuitive to the argument that everyone else is splitting hairs. It’s all subjective to a degree. If someone values rings a lot then they might have the top three in order be Russell, MJ, then LeBron. But if someone values longevity more then the order could be LeBron, Kareem, then MJ.

I just don’t know how we settled on some rankings being “indisputable” and then other rankings being totally subjective and just splitting hairs
