There were discussions about all-time best players in NBA history, and/or player rankings, this afternoon. This is always interesting among basketball fans, and debate/argument could get very heated. Let me start one here as well, to see how you rank those past and current great players.
To save some trouble, let's not be exact - just name 5 players for each position, and no need to be in any particular order, coz it's almost impossible to argue a No. 3 is better than a No. 4 for sure.
抛砖引玉，here is my top 5s:
Center - Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Shaquille O'Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon
Power Forward - Tim Duncan, Charles Barkley, Karl Malone, Kevin McHale, Kevin Garnet
Small Forward - Larry Bird, Julius Erving, Elgin Baylor, Dominique Wilkins, LeBron James
Shooting Guard - Michael Jordon, Jerry West, Kobe Bryant, Clyde Drexler, Allen Iverson, but I guess in a few years that Kevin Durant might have the chance to take AI's place
Point Guard - Magic Johnson, John Stockton, Oscar Robertson, Jason Kidd, Isiah Thomas
I did spend some time to check name spellings:)
So, what's your list?
