Just saying...all y'all who keep saying the rockets as a6 seed are answering the wrong question. Rockets won the title as a 6, but I'm pretty sure Ewing's Knicks reached the finals as an 8 seed and lost (I think the 99 team that lost to the Spurs, but I could be wrong on that).
1.) Lew Alcindor 2.) John Stockton 3.) Michael Jordan 4.) Knicks 5.) Robert Parish 6.) Pelicans and Clippers 7.) Hornets/Bobcats and Wizards 8.) Celtics 9.) Seven 10.) Sabonis 11) Georghe Muresan or Manute Bol... I’ll go with Muresan 12.) Timberwolves 13.) Steve Kerr 14.) Shaq 15.) Red Auerbach 16.) Rochester Royals 17.) Jabbar
