Truth is, there are about 8 players in NBA history who have a legitimate argument to be called the best (or most dominant) player of all time...\n\nThey are:\n\n1) Wilt Chamberlain\n2) Bill Russell\n3) Kareem Abdul-Jabbar\n4) Larry Bird\n5) Magic Johnson\n6) Oscar Robertson\n7) Michael Jordan\n8) Shaquille O'Neal\n\nTim Duncan probably comes the closest to matching the skill level of these guys, in terms of fundamentals...but Duncan does not have a claim to be called the best ever...\n\nWilt was really the most dominant player ever (on BOTH ends of the court), and his basketball skills far exceeded those of Shaquille O'Neal. Although Jordan's strong suit is his scoring, his scoring feats really pale in comparison with Wilt.\n\nRussell led his team to 11 NBA titles in his 13 year career. Were Jordan around back then, he'd be just another guy who lost to the Celtic machine.\n\nJordan and Shaq are the only players on the above list who had the luxury of playing against what amounts to 'high school' players. The level of competition and overall skill levels of todays players is not as good as during, for example, the 1980s. But players today are adjusting to the way the NBA wants the game played. Traveling is never called, nor is 'palming' the ball (probably no one under 25 today even knows what 'palming the ball' even means...)\n\nThe All Defensive teams were not selected until after the 1969 season, so Wilt only made that team 3 or 4 times, but would have made it more often had there been such a thing in the '60s. So the idea that Jordan is the greatest defender ever because of his All Defensive number of selections is not well-founded.\n\nIf anyone thinks that todays players are more highly skilled than players of the 60s 70s and 80s, we need only look as far as the U.S. recent international performances, or lack thereof. Teams from Europe are beating our NBA "All Star" teams on a regular basis the last few years, because they (the Europeans) are still playing the game the way the U.S. played it in the 60s and 70s, when the U.S. truly dominated the world in basketball. They have taken the way we taught them the game and are now using that style against us. The U.S. international teams have been pathetic during the 21st century.\n\nMcGrady is not even close to being the best player of all time... there's no argument that one can make to place him anywhere near the company of the guys on this list. Being able to dunk doesn't make you the greatest player of all time.  If you think T-Mac is one of the two greatest players ever, you obviously haven't watched very much basketball.

Jordan with any of the second teir stars is the best.  He is the one player who could not be stopped in the clutch.  His defense was simply awesome and his leadership equal to Larry and Magic.

Well I think that having Kobe or Mcgrady woud be good because I'm so tired if hearing all of this stuff about  Lebron being Michael Jordan, and all that.

it would have to be ......... MARCUS WILLIAMS from the UConn huskies. he's an NBA ready point guard that can manage that young, high octane offense. this will make up from not takin' CP3(Chris Paul) last year.

First pick Lebron, the best there is and strong for the playground.  Then Ben Wallace causr our the block you want him on your side, then Kobe cause dude can ball and to top it off give me Allen Iverson, heart of a lion which helps on the street.

that's where i'll put Kobe Bryant! he's one of the best NBA players around but i'd say he's not the best right now but if you're talking about looks, i'll vote for him! :)

I would meet Dwyane Wade...he is one of the best players in the league..he not only has determination but he has drive and skillz that will lead the Miami Heat to Victory..he is one of my inspirations to playing basketball along with some other talented Players!! He has only been in the NBA a little while now but he has clearly proved that he will be a player that will be remembered decades to come!! Oh yeh and of course who can deny his good looks?? lol....!!

Brad Miller... I would say Jason Kidd, or Mike Bibby but their both mixed so it really would'nt count.

Allen Iverson - he plays so hard and with all heart.

Michael Jordan. Who has and had more fans(MJ). Who loved it the most(MJ). Who was the better player over all(MJ). Who did the best dunks(MJ).\nOne more question: Who does everyone compare todays stars(like James or Bryant) Michael Jordan of coarse.\nYou might have made a better arguement if you had asked about Michael Jordan and Wilt Chamberlain.
