First to the guy above me - Magic Johnson was inducted into the Hall of Fame four years ago.\n\nMichael Jordan is undoubtedly the best player of the past 30 years, and possibly of all time.  Considering that he's not yet inducted, then I'd have to say that he's the most deserving player not currently enshrined.\n\nThere are plenty of others who are deserving and who will get there, but there are no players as good as MJ who are still waiting to get in.

Underrated..  In history would be Sam Perkins. He was a center in the late 80's and 90's who could nail a three at any minute. Was one of the first to do this. Now Luke Ridnour pg of the Seattle Sonics. Simply because he gets everyone such great looks. One of the many reasons Ray Allen broke the three point record this year.

Right now, probably Dwyane Wade. I think Shaq might be on the downside of his career, though he's still rather forceful in the middle.

active player : shaquille o'neal\nall time : bill russell

Chauncey Billups ;]\nhe's hella fine\nand he's hella good at bball too =]

most likely its gonna be D WADE because shaq is most likely gonna be double teamed because he's going to be unstopable in the post and it will open up all kinds of opportunities for wade and others but the other people aren't superstars at this moment like WADE is!!\nhe is much faster, quicker, and a way better ball handler than any one in Dallas so its going to be Wade for MVP after Miami wins in 6 games

I can't believe nobody has mentioned Wilt Chamberlain or Kareem Abdul Jabbar.  Those guys could play . . but i'm going to have to go with Michael Jordan.  He dominated the sport, tried his hand at baseball THEN came back and dominated again!  Just think of the career stats he would've had if he played straight through . . wow.\n\nHonourable mention to Robertson, Chamberlain, Kareem, Magic, Russell . . .\n\n*ALSO - according to espn.com (they have a Top 10 Point Guards in History of NBA list) Robertson averaged a triple double during his first 5 seasons*

ummm...\nOrlando Magic\n\nand I think he'll end up like a Gilbert Arenas (of Washington) type of player but not as good though\n\nOr maybe a Joe Johnson (of Atlanta) type of player\n\nI think he will win about 1 or 2 Championship rings

I will say yes, he already is a Hall of Fame player. That said, he should also retire, though it would be tough to do because of injury. He has had a great career, and it would be foolish for him to risk his long-term health further.

I'm going to say Maurice Cheeks.  He's a great person, but he hasn't proven himself to be a winner.  All the other people on the list at won a playoff series.  Larry Brown is burning out, and honestly needs to give it up soon.

~West~\nForwards: Ron Artest, because half of the NBA fears him and the other half should. \nKevin Garnett, because he can do it all. \nGuards: Tracy McGrady because he is unstoppable from anywhere on the court.\nChris Paul, because he has to be one of the best point guards in the west. \nCenter: Yao Ming, what I saw all ready this year from Yao, he is defiantly the best center in the league.\n\n~East~\nForwards: Lebron James, did you see him so far this year, because if you haven't then i feel sorry for you because he is just phenomenal.\nEmeka Okafor, he is better than he was a year ago and is developing into one of the best players in the league.\nGuards: Micheal Redd, Leads the league in scoring with 31.3 points per game, has a .503 FG pecentage, and he got the NikeBasketball.com Baller of the Week.\nAllen Iverson, deserves it sence he did get all-star MVP last Year.\nCenter: Dwight Howard, If you ask me, i think the kid is the next Kevin Garnett.\n\nThe write in I choose Kevin Martin, of the Sacromento Kings because he has proved to everyone that he should be an all-star.

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....!!

It has to be Tim Duncan. He is a two time MVP, three time NBA Champion and NBA Finals MVP, and has been elected to the All NBA First team every season he has been in the league. Yet he is a very quiet and humble person who is just an all round fantastic person. He never complains, never takes his team mates for granted, and is a fantastic guy.

Tim Duncan\n\nHe is one of the most steady players in the league. He always plays solid defense. He is a guy to give the ball to in the clutch. He is just so fundamental in every facet of his game except for freethrow shooting.\n\nBut the thing that seals the deal for him being the #7 player is that he has three championship rings and he was the star on the Spurs for those three wins so you pretty much have to go with him here. I am shocked that he wasn't higher... but I guess he is getting a little old just like Shaq. Shaq would be my 8th choice eventhough he has been terrible in these NBA finals.\n\nWho will the Washington Wizards take with the 18th pick of the Unofficial Yahoo Answers NBA Mock Draft?\nhttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AvtMn1SDCfKJCaB.okG49__sy6IX?qid=20060611195758AAWvwGd

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.
