Has to be Kobe, All NBA Defensive team this year, and Mr 81. He his the game's best perimeter player and a tenacious defender. (Held Wade to less then 20 in one of their meetings)

It has to be Reggie Miller. All time leader in three point field goals made, one of the greatest three point shooters ever. Not to mention the uncountable times he has drained clutch threes to win or tie the match for the Pacers, including that unforgettable game at Madison Square Garden. As a pure shooter, even with a hand in his face, Miller was ace.

Yao Ming of the Houston Rockets\n\n\nBut Watch for Sun Ming-Ming, he's 7-8 and will come to the league in 08...

Lebron. He's achived so much in so little time, It's won't be surprising if he totally dominates the game in a few years and surpassed Jordan. And how can people say that Lebron is a ballhog when he is averaging 6 assists a game? He gets double figures in assists many times.

Joseph,  this question is asked every week here and the best answer is always the first person who agrees with the asker.  This is kind of old, but I will answer the same way every time:\n\nWilt Chamberlin.  He holds more records than anyone in NBA history and with his scoring and shot blocking, he'd kill Jordan in a one on one any day -- so long as it was a 1/2 court game.  Wilt still holds the most points scored in a single game -- 100 points.  And who do you think Kobe past up in order to get 2nd place?  Wilt Chamberlin.\n\nWilt was better than Bill Russel, but Russel played for the Celtics, the best team of that era.  Wilt was basically a one man team who consistantly got his team to the playoffs only to be eliminated by the Celtics.

While Wilt Chamberlain did score 100 points in a game, and players such as Dr. J, Magic, Kareem, and a host of others are all historical great, only one player is the legend:\n\nMichael Jordan

NBA Wilt Chamberlain 100 points\n\nMats Wermelin of Sweden holds the Guinness Book of Records title for most points scored in a single game: he scored all of the points in a 272-0 win in a regional tournament in Stockholm at the age of 13, February 5th, 1974.\n\nThe all-time high school record is held by Danny Heater, who scored 135 for Burnsville High (WV) in a 173-43 win against Widen High on January 26th, 1960.\n\nFrank Selvy is the only person to score 100 points in an NCAA Division I game, when he scored exactly 100 for Furman against Newberry College in a 149-95 rout on February 13th, 1954. (41-66 FG, 18-22 FT) \nClarence "Bevo" Francis has the NCAA all-division record of 113 points, for Rio Grande Community College against Hillsdale College, exactly 11 days before Selvy's mark. Francis also holds the NAIA mark of 116 points for Rio against Ashland College on January 19th, 1963, but this is not recognized by the NCAA because it did not come against a four-year institution. \nAside from Francis and Selvy, no one has ever scored 100 points in an NCAA game. Furthermore, no one, including Francis and Selvy, has ever scored 100 points against a Division I school. The most ever is 72, by Kevin Bradshaw for US International University in a 186-140 loss to Loyola Marymount University on January 5th, 1991.

As far as I can tell, the record holder is journeyman James Edwards, who played for several teams, most famously the Pistons where he won two championships. His reputation as a player who provided tough grinding defence is justified by 96 total disqualifications.

100    Wilt Chamberlain\n 81    Kobe Bryant\n 78    Wilt Chamberlain (3OT)\n 73    David Thompson\n 73    Wilt Chamberlain\n 73    Wilt Chamberlain\n 72    Wilt Chamberlain\n 71    David Robinson\n 71    Elgin Baylor\n 70    Wilt Chamberlain\n\nThis covers all 70 pt games in NBA history.\n\nKobe's recent 81 pt explosion marked the 56th time a player has scored 60 pts in an NBA game... Wilt did it 32 times himself, more than everyone else in the history of the league combined (24).\n\nYou'll see Chamberlain's name all over the 50 pt game list, as he actually AVERAGED 50.4 pts per game in the 1961-62 NBA season. The following year he averaged 44.8 PPG.
