C-Shaq- Instead of the obvious choice of Wilt Im gonna go with Shaq. If Shaq plaed in Wilts era he wouldve scored at least 50 PPG. Shaqs playoff performances are also why I list him as the top center and the play offs are where it really counted. Shaq and Kareem-Shaqs size would overwhelm Kareem and his power would too. Kareem is more athletic though. Still even Kareem couldnt shut down Shaq. Shaq and Wilt- Shaq is bigger and quicker than Wilt which is 2 advantages. But Wilt was much more athletic and had more basketball skils. They are both 2 of the top 5 players in history IMO. Wilt also was not as good a leader as Shaq. Shaq could make other players better. He made Penny, Kobe and sdoon Wade to become super stars. Wilt didnt have that ability. Wilt has an edge on defense though. I still say Shaqis better though. Runner Up:Wilt 2nd Runner Up: Kareem PF- Karl Malone-IMO the greatest power forward of all time. Karl Malone vs Charles Barkley Its really close Barkley couldve been better but he let personnal problems get in the way of his basket ball life. Karl Malnoe on the other hand played to his full potential. Malone never really dominated the league though. Barkley did in the early 90s. Id take Malone over Barkley Karl Malone vs Tim Duncan: Malone played smarter. He was also much stronger and used mind games against his oppenets. They both had good partners in Stockson and Robinson. I feel the Stockton-Malone duo was better. Runner Up: Sir Charles 2nd Runner Up: Tm Duncan SF-Larry Bird Every knows his greatness. He was the best forward ever to play the game Larry Bird vs Dr. J: Larry is a better shooter and passer. Dr. J is just a better defender. Larry was also a more balanced player. Dr. J IMO was also overrated and Larrys not.IT took larry one year when he entered the league to figure Dr. J out. HE very soon surpassed him. Runer Up: Dr. J 2nd Runner Up: Hard to say after Dr, J theres a HUGE space Sg-Mj who else? Hard to say who the second best SG is of all time. Jordan dominated every SG in every way. The next closest SG comes IN A LONG way. hard to determine who it is. Jodan was a clear winner and dominated at will. His list of accomplishments is too long to say so I wont. PG-Magic SHOWTIME BABY! WEll ya Magic is definetly the best PG around. Jonh Stockton vs Magic- Stockton was a better passer and probably a better true PG. Magic could do it all though. Shoot, Score,Pass,Rebound, Steal, and Block. He comes with the whole package so Id definetly say hes better. Thats my top 5 post away people.
C- Wilt Camberlin- Only guy ever to score 100 points in a game. (still dont no how he did it.) By far even said by shaq to be the most dominating force ever to play the game of basketball. When shaq was on espn giving an interview he said there was wilt and then there was me basically putting wilt over himself. PF- Bill Russel- Boston celtic great. Double digit world titles victories speaks for its self. One of the nba 50 all time greatest players. Was the only guy ever to master the art of blocking the ball and keeping it in bounds. By far one of the most dominating forces on offense and defense, but always a team player. SF- By far the most under rated position in nba history. I am gona have to go with clyde drexler even though he was mostly a shooting guard he did play this position alot in his career to his later days. Known to be one of the greatest players ever to play the game he made it to the finals 2 times before finally helping the rockets win the second part of there back to back titles his third time visiting the nba finals. Also one of the nba 50th greatest players. sg- The doctor doctor J. One of the most memorable players in 76ers histry helped to bring philly its last nba title 2 decades ago in the 80's. He was truly a guy that helped form everything that is great about the sixers orginization today. He was the guy who people thought when they saw him "no one can take this game at a higher level than him". That is until jordan did it. He was the earlier version of Jordan to the nba. Also one of the nba 50th greatest players. pg- So many options, but currently in my mind one stands above all others. Michael Jordan. 6 nba titles, League MVP, Rookie of the year, part of the nba dream team that won gold, ALL star mvp, Finals mvp 6 times. He is the greatest a career average of over 30 points a game the highest in nba history. He was the revolution of the nba. there is no one who could have done what he did at the time he did. I am moving him to PG because of that season he played point for the bulls. Though he was mostly a shooting guard. Also one of the nba 50th greatest players. Sixth man- Magic Johnson. Only player ever to play all five positions in the finals. One of the guys that helped bring intrest to the nba when it was down. Part of the showtime lakers one of the nba 50th greatest players. Sadely had his career cut short do to the HIV virus, but is a inspiration to everyone who meets him or knows his story. Great person great player!
C - Hakeem Olajuwon (he humiliated Shaq in 1995, and the Diesel admitted it on live TV, and I believe he could've done the same to any center that's ever played the game) PF - Charles Barkley (he had an attitude, the will to win, and was probably one of the best undersized rebounders in the NBA) SF - Larry Bird (he would be so confident in his three point shot that he would turn his head and walk away before the shot even went in...and he was clutch) SG - Michael Jordan (enough said) PG - Magic Johnson (he could pass and score, play all 5 positions on the court...as a rookie...he did everything he could to make it to the top, all with a great personality)
C: Shaquille O'Neal - Simply the most dominant player ever. Kareem was great, but he wasn't a powerful center. You could make the case that Wilt was more dominant than Shaq, but I would still go with Shaq, because he dominated even in a time where there were a lot of great centers in the league. Shaq IS the best center to play the game. PF: Karl Malone - I'm a huge Charles Barkley fan, but when I think of the best PF ever Malone is the first one to come to mind. He does everything - rebound, score, pass, and even is a great defender. I guess you could say Barkley also did all of this, but I've just always felt he was the better one. SF: Larry Bird - One of the best if not the best shooter the NBA has ever seen. He could do everything on the court, and was truely one of the greatest players ever. I don't think I need to say much more than that. SG: Michael Jordan - Don't even need an explaination. PG: Magic Johnson - Just like Jordan, there really isn't an explaination needed to why he is here. He had it all - he could score whenever he wanted, but being the unselfish player he was, he would always find his open teammates instead. Magic was a true winner and did whatever it took to win games, even if that meant sacrificing his own game. IMO he is the greatest PG without a doubt, and is probably one of the three best players to ever play the game.
C - Shaquille O'Neal - I don't like him and I think that he's an idiot, but on the court, he's the most dominant center of all time. I would go with Wilt, but I feel, in my own opinion, that Shaq is a bit better. PF - Tim Duncan - Yeah, I know that he isn't even retired yet, but I guarantee you that 10 years from now people will look back and see that this guy is quite possibly one of the most well-rounded players at his respective position. SF - Larry Bird - The thinking man's NBA player and by far one of the best shooters of all time. If there are only 5 seconds left on the clock and I'm down by 1, there is no one on earth that I would rather have on my team other than Bird. SG - Michael Jordan - Best NBA player of all time, he did it all, retired, came back and did it again, retired again and still hung with the young guys for two seasons. I don't care what you want to say about LeBron, Kobe, T-Mac, etc. nobody will ever accomplish what this guy did in Chicago ever again. PG - John Stockton - I don't care what anyone says, this is the best point guard you will ever see in the NBA. He had all of the fundamentals down and left the league as the all-time leader in assists AND steals. An amazing player on both sides of the court and hell, he could even shoot the ball if necessary.

But hey its your opinion not mine. Ya I also was think about putting Bill Russel at PF but since he played center I just decided to clasify him a center.

I put him there because of that one season he played for the bulls were he became the point guard. Also because Dr. J is a great icon and was the best player in the league before MJ so I wanted to show him some respect by having him there.
C - Wilt/Shaq/Abdul-Jabar i dont know which would be the all time center, all good players. but if i were to choose it would be shaq. PF - Malone SF - Bird SG - Jordan PG - Magic

John Stockton is much more deserving of that PG spot and I bet your team will win more games with Stockton at the point.</div> Yeah I agree. First all time in assists in the nba, one of the 50th greatest players ever, greatest player ever to play without winning a title in my mind and the mind of many. I would have him there, but I cant have everyone. There are so many great players that could be in the all time starting line up. That no matter what lineup anyone makes there always gona dissapoint someone. Even david stern couldnt make the perfect all time lineup when they asked him on espn hot seat. John Stockten may not be in my all time starting lineup, but he would definitly be in my all time nba team. I cant really go wrong with the lineup I have though considering all of them are on the nba 50th greatest players of all time list. That is 50 different people that could be on the potential all nba team a guy I like but everyone is forgetting is george mikan. Lead the minneapolis lakers to the first ever nba title and then the second ever as well as the lakers went back to back. In the early 50's.
C: Shaq - To me, he is the most dominating force the game has ever seen. No one can stop him, and he plays in an era where there are people of his size, granted only a few. The guy can take over a game on any given night, and, when he wants, he can be a great defender. To me, people underrate his passing skills at time, cause I believe they are very good for a big man. PF: Karl Malone - Second leading scoring in the history of the NBA, two time MVP, really the only thing missing is that elusive NBA title that he's came so close to on numerous occasions. The guy has been great his entire career. He's been conisistent and has been an iron man. To me, he is the best power forward that has ever played the game. His accomplishments are unbelievable as, like I said earlier, the only thing he hasn't got is that NBA Finals trophy. SF: Larry Bird - One of the greatest shooters ever in the history of the league. He could shoot the lights out on any given night. The guy was also clutch and could do everything with the ball. To me, it's an easy pick for this one. SG: Michael Jordan - To me, it's obvious. The guy is the greatest that has ever played the game of basketball. He won 6 NBA titles, could have been 8 or more had he not retired those two times. He was a what, 5 time league MVP, ROY, everything. He accomplished pretty much everything in his career. He's the only person with a 30 point average for his career I believe. To me, there is really no arguing on this one. PG: Magic Johnson - Hardest one to choose right here. It was a toss up between him and Stockton, but, I had to go with Magic. He was a 2 time MVP, averaged 19 and 11 for his career. He won 5 NBA titles during the '80s. What stopped him was being HIV positive back in '91, or else his numbers could be even better than what they are now.
I know you guys are probably thinking this team isnt as good as yalls but you would have to take umm serious C:Bill Russell 6'10- Best basketball leader of all time. He dominated on the boards. He would put up 15.1 ppg., 22.5 rpg., 4.3 apg. He was a 5 time NBA MVP, and a 12-time all-star. He had 12 straight 1,000 or more rebound seasons. PF:Charles Barkley 6'4- they didn't call him the round mound of rebound for nothing(11.7 rpg. at 6'5). One of only four players to have compile 20,000 points(22.1ppg.), 10,000 rebounds(11.7rpg.), and 4,000 assists(3.9apg.). One time NBA MVP, and 11-time all-star. SF:Bob McAdoo 6'9- The most under rated player of all time. Even the writers of sports illustrated said he might possibly be the best shooter of all time. He won three scoring championships. The first year he lead the league in scoring he also lead the league in fg%, talk about consistency. Hey won rookie of the year, and was named MVP in 1975. He was a five time all-star. Throughout his career he averaged, 22.1ppg., 9.4rpg., 2.3apg., 1.4bpg., .503FG%. SG:Oscar Robertson 6'5- The Big O is the only player in league history to average a triple double in a season(30.8ppg, 12.5rpg, 11.4apg.). He was a one time league MVP(1964) and 12 time All-Star. His career averages were, 25.7ppg, 9.5apg, 7.5rpg. And he amassed 26,710 points, 9,887 assists, 7,804 rebounds. PGete Maravich 6'5- The Pistol was ahead of his time with his Jason Kidd like moves. The most unstoppable college player of all time. His career averages were, 24.2ppg, 5.4apg, 4.2rpg, .9spg, .2spg. His career totals were, 15,948 points, 3,563 assists, 2,747 rebounds, 587 steals, and 108 blocks.
<div class="quote_poster">Quoting iversonfan3:</div><div class="quote_post">samuel dalembert keny thomas glenn robinson willie green allen iverson enuf said lol</div> Nice all time line up there, haha. Though, I do believe that Andre Iguodala should be your starting shooting guard or small forward if you're just using your wonderfully terrible 76ers team.
C.Kareem Abdul Jabar: why my choice i like a lot shaq but i think the player who more points has score and i put kareem also i like wilt,russel and wes unseld for this position PF-Karl Malone:I think the best pf of the nba history i think another in this position can be KevinMcHale,Sir Charles,Rodman and Duncan Sf-Larry bird i think a complete player who can score and the type of sf that nba needs also in this position James Worthy,Bob mac Adoo,Scottie Pippen Sg-Michael Jordan the best player of history ......also oscar robertson, earl monroe pg-Magic Johnson i deciede that thinking about the complete player think and SHOWTIME also Pete Maravich,John Stockton and Bob Cousy
