Jose Salviati and Steve Purciello break down Steve's latest 13 Rules Random NBA Thoughts article. They remember Bob Pettit, the NBA's first MVP and the only player to stop Bill Russell's Celtics from winning a title in Russell's first ten years, and they get into the Jalen Duren contract talks with the Pistons, including the weight clause and a deadline that could force a decision this week. Then it's the big list: from Dr. J at No. 15 to Michael Jordan at No. 1, with stories from Steve's decades of watching the game. Is LeBron really only No. 3? Did Kevin Durant deserve better than No. 14? The shot clock went off, but we went to overtime to finish the list.
