John Stockton...\nHe is the league's all time leader in assists and steals, he did such a good job of running the team, and scored points very effciently with a silky stroke from outside.\nHe was the best point guard ever in the NBA.\nIf Jordan had not won all those championships he would certainly have won a couple.

Wilt Chamberlin is definatley one of the best along with Kareem, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and maybe Isaih Thomas.  Also many people are forgetting about Bob Cousy, Bill Russell, and Pistol Pete.  30 years from now names like Karl Malone, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James and Dwayne Wade will be around.  Shaq is one of the best if not best centers to play the game also.

Michael Jordan is without a doubt the greatest athlete ever to play the game of basketball 32,292 points.\nI was blessed and had season tickets to the Bulls during everyone of the play offs, what a MAN!\nI have met him as well he is a very nice celebrity.

Pele` without a doubt was THE BEST. Following hin very, very far one from Eusebio - George Best - Sivori: it only depends from personal opinion.

lamar odom.  I've always liked him since the day he came into the league.  He's in my opinion one of the top 3 most complete players in the game today.  He can literally do everything on the basketball court. shoot, rebound, dribble, pass, post up, shoot the 3, block shots, and play solid D.

Vince Carter all-time. Most of his dunks are original and are sickest...

Best player is LBJ. The best dunker officially is Nate Robinson. But other than that...look at what VC has done. Thrown the ball of the shot clock in a game. People are scared to do that in a dunk compitition

Of All Time?  His Airness.  Michael Jordan elevated his play to a level no one at the time could attain.\n\nNowadays, however, there are a select few.\n\nI'd have to go with Tim Duncan.  He does it all, night in and night out!

Well, it has to be Michael Jordan.  Six championships, numerous MVP awards, and he made all of his teammates on the Bulls better.  However, LeBron James is probably going to replace MJ as the best ever some day.  At 21 he is almost as good as Jordan was in his prime.  We are all witnesses ...

If were going for the future I would go with Lebron James. He is the second best player behind Kobe. He is only 22 and was already second in votes for MVP. Make it to the second round and almost knock off the pistons. Great ball handler, defender, driving, clutch shooting. I think the only thing that is not amazing is shooting although he has improved greatly since last season but now he shoots like Iverson sometimes he is on sometimes hes off but the thing he does great is when he is not shooting well he will get to the basket and get a layup or dunk and when thats not goin down he will pass it around and get his team into it.

Allen iverson. Why? Because he is the bomb. He is the best point guard ever and he is so sexyyyyyyyyy!

Pound for Pound, I would have to say Allen Iverson. He is an amazing player for his size and he has great heart. He has a "Never say die" attitude that makes him a competitor. He isn't even six foot tall, and yet he still averages over 30 points a game in a leage that the average height is more around 6'5". He is an all around, truly amazing player. Not to mention my idol!
