I see what you did there ... missing Rodman, the greatest rebounder of that era.

wtf meeeeeen and where is Lebron James? he is the best!!! and kobe bryant too :D

i got top five ever for ya lebron james.......lebron james lebron james lebron james and last but not least lebron james

I dont know about ever, but my current list:

1. Lebron
2. Durant
3. Kobe
4. Wade
5. CP3

Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan
Michael Jordan
Pippen

I am surprised at alot of these. I was certain Jordan would be at the top of everyone's list then from there the names would differ. I am not quite sure how you can not even include Micheal in the top 5. I assure you, there is no one to date that has ever played the game better. I am still waiting to see how many Rings Lebron can accumulate before including him.

2.bird

4. magic johnson
5. kareem

jordon, kareem, majic, oscar robinson,wilt the stilt

1. Michael Jordan
2. Larry Bird
3. Magic Johnson
4. Kobe Bryant
5. Kareem Abdul Jabar

M.J. for sure. Definitely Magic. I've got to put LeBron in there. Even if you don't put him in there yet, he will be before his career is over. I'm going to put Wilt in. And I am going to take Tim Duncan to finish out my starting lineup. So, Magic at the point, M.J. at shooting guard, LeBron at small forward. Duncan at power forward and Wilt at the center spot.

Its hard to include guys that youve never watched. Plus players play in a different eras, some of the older players wouldn't stand a chance in todays game.
