    Dream. He's one of the only ones I can think of where he was the only star on the team for a championship win. (Also, because I'm a homer...)

    According to Jordan, Hakeem was the best center of all time. Having a franchise altering big man is the best way to become a championship team IMO. So, I would probably end up taking Hakeem (he was selected before Jordan for a reason :cool:

    Wilt would be my first choice. Kareem my second. After that there are arguments to be made for people like Hakeem, Magic, Jordan, Larry, LeBron, Shaq, Timmy D. But those first two are, to me, head and shoulders above the rest.

    Robert Horry.

    In a league full of stars, all-stars and superstars... not everyone has good luck/can knock down the Big Shot on command.

    Hakeem. Most beautiful post game ever. Top 10 player on offense and defense.

    true, but it doesn't take anyone with ability in talent evaluation to see how great Hakeem was...

    Hakeem yes because I'm a Rockets fan.

    I really dislike the Lakers, however I would have to say Shaq is 1B.

    Brother I'm going to say the one who brought his team to the nba finals in his second year.

    The one who created who we are and why we are here.


    Dream.
