My Favorite Basketball Players of All Time.

1. Julius W. "Dr. J" Erving II . I hated Larry Bird and the Celtics, because of him. I hated Kareem Abdul Jabbar and "Magic" Johnson, because of him. I hated David Thompson, Michael Jordan, and I hate Kobe because of the Doc.
2. Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain - No other man has hung a 100 in an N.B.A. game.
3. Shaquille O'Neal - He's a funny guy. Corby vs. Shaq : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5gTZjuo0rc...t=1&index=8

I also liked Steve Nash back in his MVP days. I love watching A PG that can dish the ball. Deron williams and Chris Paul are fun to watch aswell.

Russell Westbrook is starting to become my favorite player.

"MJ and Scotty Pippin, best pair to play the game together!

LeBron James is my favorite player...he is the best in the game and i love how he can take over.

still don't understand how ppl say kobe is better because...kobe needs a strong supporting cast. (pau, odem, fisher, not to mention a very good bench) lebron's teammates are good, but not as good as what kobe has or needs.

lebron can't shoot, just a big bull looking to run people over.

today

1. Lebron James (greatest all-around player since Jordan)
2. Dwyane Wade (great scorer and tough as nails)
3. Deron Williams ( great floor leader, strong, and can shoot)


All-Time

1. Michael Jordan (there will never be a more determined player)
2. Larry Bird (Did the most with the least amount of ability, winner)
3. Isiah Thomas (Could of been the greatest of all time if he wasn't so small)

How can you be a bull and almost average a triple-double every night. Don't hate cause he is stronger than most.

Have to go with john stockton-most unselfish player ever to play the game.

1)Oscar Robertson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
2)Kobe and Shaq
3)Jordan and Pippin
4)Stockton and Malone

Pippin is the most overrated basketball player of all time

John Havlicek!!! Got the most out of his ability. Not a scorer in college, but showed he could score in the NBA. I attended the Hall of Fame ceremonies when he was inducted in 1984. Got to visit with him in the Celtic locker room after a game in San Antonio. Also got to see a Knick/Celtic playoff game in the old Boston Gardens.

The time will come for that record to be broken. LeBron will break it just like he did first to reach 1,000 2,000 3,000 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, & 12,000.

c'mon...some of you old timers gotta give lebron his credit!

he took a team of scrubs to the finals at the tender age of 22! and now at 24 he is about to do it again. except this time he has an MVP award (first of many to come) and should walk off the floor an NBA champion!

This year his team isn't scrubs. He is the best player in the NBA, but that dosen't mean that I like him, I hope whoever they play beats them. Jordan was the best player to ever play the game.

he makes every single one of those players on his team better. even mo williams. why do you hope they get beat?

no doubt jordan is the best ever, but even the greatest get removed from their thrown...lebron can do everything jordan could do. the only real difference is jordan had a better team and lebron plays in a time where the talent in the NBA is much better than it used to be.

Because I don't like Lebron, Kobe, or really just about anybody in the NBA now. The NBA isn't as good as it use to be. I would like to see Houston win it but with Yao gone that more than likely won't happen. So hopefully it will be Denver and Orlando.

whats wrong with the NBA right now...they slow down? play defense? the game is different now.
