Hello everyone, welcome to the Basketball 100 podcast. This is a podcast based on the book written by many of us here at The Athletic. We're here to count down the top 100 players in NBA history

and discuss and debate their place in the league's hierarchy. I'm your host, John

Krasinski. I cover the Minnesota Timberwolves for us here at the Athletic. And with me today

is Jay King in Boston, Kelly Eco in Houston, both compadres at the athletic. How's it going

this morning, boys? That's beautiful, baby. Anything I can see your face is just lovely. See, JK, man. You're ready to go. You're ready to go. Come on, man. You're really the goal. We've got to give you your flowers, bro. And Father's Day just passed. You and Jay. Happy Bowled Father's Day. There we go. There we go. Appreciate that. Let's get mad at each other. Let's let's have an argument. Let's have a debate. Let's yell and scream and see what we come up with here. But, you know, this is a whole thing where we're designed to just kind of break the top 100, the basketball 100 into chunks, kind of break it down piece by piece. Our subject today are players five through 19 on this list. And I'm just going to

run them out for the readers right now just to set the scene for us here. We have at 19,

we have Moses Malone, 18, Kevin Garnett, 17, Carl Malone, 16, Jerry West, 15, Dr. J, 14, Kevin Durant, 13, Oscar Robertson, 12,

Steph Curry, 11, Akeem Elijah Wan, 10, Kobe Bryant, nine, Larry Bird, eight Tim Duncan,

seven, Shaquille O'Neal, six, Wilts Chamberlain, and five, Magic Johnson. And so I think the way to

kick this off, guys, is just a good start. Which player on this grouping do you most find the most

joy or excitement that just comes to mind when you read this list. You see that name and it's like,

all right, I'm ready to go. Kelly, why don't you start us off here? Which one gets you going here?
