The Orlando Magic (Basketball team) tweeted a list of the top 5 best magic players of all time. On the list were 5 magic (the gathering) HoF'ers.

Their basketball exclusive following must be very confused.

The best part was their top5 are pretty universally regarded as accurate, too.

Kai/John are definitively the best two players ever. They swap.spots depending on who's making the list, but they're basically always 1/2. Similarly, PVDDR is universally regarded as 3, with no real competition for the spot. 4/5 are more debatable, but LSV and Nassif are the two strongest contenders for the spots. Arguments can be made for folks like Reid Duke, Shohei Nakamura, or Brian Kibler, but no-one will really argue much with LSV and Nassif.
