Top 5 NBA Players of All-Time

Talk about LMAO. The original list needs to be amended to add Jordan and you pick Wilt to be replaced?

The greatest player and athlete to ever play the game? Yeah, you could drop Dwight Howard into that era and he'd make a fine back-up center to Wilt.

You're about 3 or 4 years too early son. Lucien James was not around for the first 3-peat.

OMFG, are you kidding me with this OP, in your top 5 list you must drop Magic johnson for the fact he had abdul to give the ball to. Magic is in the top ten but definitely not the top 5. Look at what MJ did for the game of basketball everything he did for the NBA. The guy who wrote this OP probably think Nate Robinson is the best dunker of all time too...

Is this an acknowledgement of best individual players, or not?

If you want to talk strickly individual, Jordan is the best player of all time. Bar none as any anyone that has actually played the game can see this and it doesn't require putting your nose in a book on NBA statistics.

Wow! Are you disgruntled or just have small mans syndrome? Jordan NEVER lead league in assists or rebounds which are a very important part of the game! Jordon never even came close to 100 points in a game like Wilt did! Thats about the biggest SINGLE. NON-TEAM statistic any basketballer can have! And Wilt hit 28-32 free throws that night when he was a reknown poor free throw shooter! you watch too much ESPN & listen to all the MJ hype, especially considering MJ got EVERY CALL IN EVERY GAME! Even in the Championship game when he PUSHED OFF BYRON RUSSELL of the Utah Jazz!

Yeah, a guard didn't lead the league in rebounding. SHOCKING!!!!

Wilt was a great player, but to pretend that his height was a TREMENDOUS advantage in his era would be laughable. He wouldn't put up numbers in today's game like he did in his day, because 7-footers aren't freaks of nature anymore (at least not in the NBA).

Michael Jordan is the single greatest player of all time. Forget the hype. I'm going off of what I saw with my own two eyes. Even if you don't have him at #1, it's completely inexcusable to not have him in the top 5.

49.7% FG, which is ridiculous for a shooting guard. 6.2 RPG, 5.3 APG, 2.35 steals per game, 30.1 ppg. I'd say that would put him right up near the top, but that's just me
