    Who is that one guy that you would pick above everyone to build your team/franchise around. Who is your #1 ?

    Of course, I love Dream, but he would be #2 for me...and MJ was the man, probably #3.

    But, I'd take Magic over everyone.

    1. Russell 2. Wilt 3. KAJ 4. MJ 5. Bird 6. Magic

    Got to take the ultimate winner at 1: great team player, unselfish, great leadership and locker room presence.

    Wilt was a beast and would beast in any era, but he, like MJ, took some time to learn how to use their skills for the overall benefit of their team and not getting buckets, imo.

    KAJ - If he would stay with my franchise his whole career, I'll take him as #1 - best value; 20 year career and consistent production.

    Curry
    Jordan
    Kobe
    Lebron
    Duncun
    The bench...
    Hakeem
    Dirk
    Pippen
    Ray Allen
    Isiah Thomas
    Kevin Durant
    Karl Malone
    Reserve
    Shaq
    Steve Nash
    Magic Johnson...versatile


    Best line up hands down, would destroy everyone..any Shaq line up would be killed because of the Popoavich hack a shaq tactic. Shaq would kill his own team.

    Khloe Kardashian. With that booty I wield the power to destroy any franchise that is in opposition of mine. Easy question. Easy answer. Next.

    Not really, it's a team sport. You can build an amazing team around someone other than Jordan and that player you picked will then be the best of all time.

    Wilt by far is the greatest athlete and most dominant big man who was highly skilled and on top of it a track and field athlete. He'd go #1 in every single draft of all time.

    You take Jordan every time as the guy to build around.

    In an era of Hakeem, Ewing, Shaq, Robinson, and Mourning, the dominant alpha of the era was a shooting guard.

    I love MJ, but he didn't have to get out of the West every year.
