Michael Jordan is too obvious of a choice.

[yo_skinny_man]

I am partial to John Stockton, Larry Bird, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Michael Jordan---

In no particular order.

Maybe Jordan was the best (debatable), but I'm disturbed by the landslide here. Where's the love for Wilt and Russell?

[azrael492]

Larry Bird is my favorite on the list, but I may have to go with Wilt. Jordan is a great, great, great, great (is that enough) player, but was no where near as dominant as Wilt. He averaged around 30 PPG and well over 20RPG for his career. If I remember, NBA changed the rules about dunking because of him...he was that dominant.

Wilt easy...give me the 7'1, 301 lbs center that moved like Wilt and had his strength over the shooting guard any day...and everything being equal give me Oscar Roberston over Jordan as well...

As a Celtic fan I like Russell, but on that team what did he have to do besides play D and rebound?...Russell had the team that Wilt seldom had.

Lefty is prone to political spin...anything over 1/2 vote is a landslide...

LOL...that's what I thought...maybe you can amended to the best player you saw or the best player in the in the late 80's and 90's...though Bird and Magic probably have a say about the 80's....
