as a point of reference, in addition to triple doubles, there is the rare quadruple double (i.e. at least 10 of four categories).\n\nThe only "official" quadruple doubles in NBA history were by Nate Thurmond (blocks,in addition to points rebounds and assists), Alvin Robertson (steals) and Hakeem Olajuwan (blocks).\n\nThere have been numerous "triple doubles" and thousands of double doubles in nba history. Many players have averaged a double double for a career (points and rebounds).\n\nWilt Chamberlain undoubtedly had many quadruple doubles in his career, but is not officially credited with them because blocked shots was not an official NBA stat until 1974, the year after he retired (same with steals).

Robert Parish played in more games than any other player in NBA history. A 7-1 center who combined strength, agility and remarkable endurance, Parish won three NBA titles with the Boston Celtics in the 1980s and teamed with Larry Bird and Kevin McHale to form one of the greatest front lines in NBA history. He capped his career by winning yet another championship ring as a member of the 1996-97 Chicago Bulls. Parish announced his retirement after his 21st season in the NBA, and after playing in 1,611 games

Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson all come to mind.  However, I think you can argue that the best player is one that not only scores points, but also does other things that make his team and teammates better.  Therefore, I think Oscar the big "O" Robertson deserves this honor.  He is the only player to average a triple-double in a single year.  He is one of the top scoring guards of all time, having put up 26,710 points in his career.  Oh, and he was a 12-time All Star.

Remember the Power Foward position didn't really exist until about early 80s, most teams essentially had two small fowards. \n\n1. Tim Duncan (as far as power fowards he's probably the most accomplished with 2 MVPs, 3 NBA Titles, has been on several All-NBA First Teams/Defense and team has never missed the playoffs)\n\n2. Karl Malone (best scorer of the all time PFs, great rebounder, and has 2 MVPs)\n\n3. Kevin McHale (maybe the best PF of the 80s, great sidekick to Bird, and all-round off/def. player)\n\n4. Kevin Garnett (he's little lower on my list mainly, because his teams never go anywhere, but he is probably the most skilled player of the group -- 1 MVP and several First All NBA Teams)\n\n5. Charles Barkley (1 MVP, great scorer and great rebounder, never could win championship trophy)\n\n------------------------------------------------------------------\nHonorable Mentions\n\nDennis Rodman (one of the best defensive players of all time, one of the greatest rebounders that have ever lived, but didn't score alot of points)\n\nDirk Nowitzki (great scorer, and may be in the top 5, if he plays for a few more years and win a couple titles and MVPs)\n\nChris Webber (good all-round players, but teams usually never reached championship)\n\nElton Brand \n\nRobert Horry (Great Defender in early years, hit many GW shots for teams that eventually won championship, 6 time champion)\n\nHorace Grant (Great Rebounder in his prime, was usually behind Rodman in most years, played outstanding defense)\n\nCharles Oakley (Most people probably remembered him as thug, but he was legitimate defense player and good rebounder.) \n\nA.C. Green (great defender, didn't miss a lot of games, and was an above average player for most of career) \n\nKevin Willis

First of all his name is spelled Bird. And no, he never competed in a half court shooting exhibition. However, he was the best competitor in the history of the NBA All-Star Weekend 3-Point Shootout. He was its first winner and won it 3 times I believe. Go to NBA.com and look in the All-Star Weekend section or something and you'll see.

Indiana Pacers' Reggie Miller scored consecutive three-point shots to beat the New York Knicks in the last seconds of the first game of the 1995 Eastern Conference Semi-Finals. As of 2005, Miller holds the NBA three-point field-goal record (2,560). \n\nIts got to be Reggie Miller!

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.
