    I only actually remember players from 2000 (when I was 8) on.. I don't like trying to pick the best or my favorites of all time, because I've never seen those old guys play. Yeah, I've seen highlights, but it's not the same, and I don't think it's enough to form an informed opinion on.

    The Big O love is very en vogue these days but putting him in over Wilt? Over KAJ? Really?

    Its so hard to make a mount rushmore because of how the game evolved over time. I'll give mine out but i'll only use retired players no one from Todays game
    Magic, Bird, KAJ, MJ

    MJ, LeBron, Kareem, and Magic

    I base my list off players who would dominate in any era.

    Russell would be a poor mans Dwight Howard today.

    Kobe?

    Shaq?

    Hakeem?

    Dude, honestly, you could take just about any superstar from the last twenty years and they would dominate in any era, but you couldn't take any star from 50's, 60's, or 70's that would dominate in any era.

    My thinking was, who are the 4 players who changed the face of the game.
