Best NBA Basketball Player of all time?
 

very hard to say. My gut tells me Larry Bird:thumbsup

Still a fan of MJ

Rik Smits

I would say MJ, but he missed a full 3 1/2 seasons which would have made him the best. even though he won 6 titles I still say Bird.

you mean it isn't MJ? i thought he was the obvious answer

Larry Bird & Magic were great but there's no doubt that MJ was the best player of all time

Jordan hands down.

SHAQ

Wilt Chamberlain.

But I will get a lot of silly arguements from people who never saw him play.

Wilt was a machine on and off the court ;-) He was also one of the best college players ever!!! Larry Bird was amazing and even though I'm not a fan of MJ, he was freakin amazing!!!

agreed

its a toss up between wilt and michael jordan.. wilt put up the great numbers but michael's a multi talented champ

Pistol Pete Maravich

Money for the betters, MJ.
Money for the bookies, MJ.
Money for Pete Rose, MJ.

MJ is the man!

MJ no question

what about Spud Webb? he was amazing:winkwink:

Jordan

I have his poster in my room:winkwink:

Air Jordan, ask no more

Bill Russell

when he played for the Celtics they won the championship 9 out of 10 years during the sixties... and he owned Wilt :)

Jordan...more titles, more clutch shots.

i agree that why i say in my lifetime i gotta say jordan,never saw wilt play, but heard homie was unstoppable

Jordan, hands down

Dennis Rodman was the best defense player ever.

Pistol Pete was great indeed..as was Wilt and ofcourse DR J!!

if i had to choose between players who still play today i'd say

ALLEN FUCKING IVERSON

the small guy is hard as a nail..to bet the rest of the team sucks

Jordan, hands down. He would have more MVPs but they felt sorry for other guys having "good" years. So he only got 6.

Wilt was awesome, no doubt. And Bill Russell could have been had he played more but when the Celtics were winning so often he didn't play as often as Wilt from I remember people saying.

Bruno B from www.brunob.com is obviously the worlds best basketball player

Questions like these are so hard to answer.
Different eras, different players different games.

To answer this question I ask myself this:

If it was game 7 of the championship, 5 seconds left, who would you want to have the ball?

The answer is Jordan.

His creativity and ability to react instantaneously put him above such greats as Bird, Wilt, Magic etc.....

The one stat that still blows me away in the nba and will never be broken is Oscar Robertsons average of a triple double over an entire season. This alone should put him into consideration yet he never gets mentioned.

Lakers Over psitons in 6.

I'm a die hard Pacer fan, I miss the Dunking Dutchman....

I'd say

Bill Russell
MJ
Larry Bird
Magic
Karl Malon
Wilt
Dr J
Karem

and since I'm Bias....

Reggie Miller

WILT CHAMERLAIN

He was great as well but he was 2 inches taller then any player at that time so he had an advantage over everyone. He also fucked 20,000 females

LeBron James will be the best player ever :thumbsup

Thanks man, that was all I needed to hear. Rick is the dutch nba hero!

He would get dunked on by Mj :1orglaugh

Jordan with the Bulls was by far and away not only the best NBA player ever, but the best athlete in the sport. In addition to his own accomplishments, he not only had to keep Rodman in line, motivate the rest of his time, help Pippin build his numbers and worked for that tiny salary (yes I know he was making a fortune in endorsements, that's not the point) so the team could spend to fill in the gaps and become a truly dominant force in the NBA.

Tell me really, does anyone ever see Kobe or Shaq doing something like that? Fuck no. Maybe Tim Duncan or Karl Malone, but there aren't many in the league today who have that kind of drive, ambition and will to win with a smile on their face.

Jordan...no question about it.

I'm British and Iw ould say Jordan.

Bill Russell never received enough credit.

Russell, Wilt, MJ, Bird, Oscar Robertson

no one said Dr. J

Larry Bird, just cause I like using him against my friends in NBA Street 2 to drain a ton of 3 pointers and gloat "you know what that is called? LARRY BIRD!"

larry:thumbsup

Larry Bird is the man... :thumbsup

Bird !

Wish the Celtics could actually play again... the good old days

be like mike :thumbsup
