Re: Best Player in every team's history Some things I disagree with you on:Lebron James is already far ahead of Brad DaughertyKareem is the best Bucks player ever. He had the best statistical years of his career with the Bucks. Oscar played with them towards the end of his career, and his numbers weren't close to what they were when he played for Cincinatti.I think Dwade is better than Alonzo. DWade just led them to an NBA title, and he won the Finals almost single handedly. He is an amazing overall guard, and ahead of Alonzo already imo.
Re: Best Player in every team's history I also disagree with the Suns one, Steve Nash could make a case as well. Though Probably Barkely didnt win his finals apperance because he was facing Jordan's crew, though I think Nash can edge him. because the only thing Barkley has over Nash is the fact he won an NBA Finals MVP and also he is 50 Greatest Players in NBA history, thought Nash is going to wind up there sometime.
Re: Best Player in every team's history LeBron James for the Cavaliers already.If not him, I'll take Mark Price or Brad Daugherty.
Re: Best Player in every team's history Wilt Chamberlain has to be the best Sixer of all-time. He just has to be. He is probably the greatest Philadelphia athlete of all-time actually.

Re: Best Player in every team's history Kobe Bryant is the best in Lakers franchise history. Best in the NBA right now, and will be for some more years.

I don't think he's done what Magic has done in terms of leadership and taking a team to various championships. Kobe still has to prove what he can do as the first option without a player like Shaq taking the spotlight.

Re: Best Player in every team's history Someone explain to me why everyone is putting Oscar Robertson as the best Bucks player ever. This is starting to get on my nerves. Kareem Abdul Jabbar is the easy choice. He flat out dominated when he was with the Bucks, led them to a championship, and posted some incredible numbers. And Oscar played with the Bucks at the end of his career, and besides his first season with them, his numbers weren't all that great (for Oscar Robertson atleast...)
