Who is the best basketball player of all time?

Some of our contributors have suggested players (also see the related link).

---

The best basketball player of all time was Len Bias. He was the perfect player at Maryland and if he hadn't died, he would have played with the elite Celtics and would have won several championships. That's why you don't take drugs! He was the greatest by far.

--

I reckon Michael Jordan was the best player of all time and still is.

---

(In no particular order) Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Jerry West, Pete Maravich, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, are all players who have excelled in one way or another.

---

I personally think that Wilt "The Stilt" Chamberlain is the best basketball player of all time. He got 100 points in one game and finished the season with an average of 50.4 points per game. Don't get me wrong: Micheal Jordan is really good, but he did not get 100 points in one game.

I believe it is and will always be one and only...Mr.Air...Michael Jordan.

---

I believe that there is no best basketball player. There are different eras that players play n, the one who dominates their era is the best of that era. Since none of the players considered as the "greatest" can ever play each other in their prime, the "best" will never be determined.

---

The best basketball player of all time is Michael Jordan and no one will ever be better than him. Lebron James comes close but if you put the two men in their prime against each other, Jordan would win.

---

The best player in History is His Airness: Michael Jordan

Then came Wilt 'The Stilt' Chamberlain

Then Karl Malone

Then John Stockton

Then Bill Russel

Then Kobe Bryant

Then Lebron James

Then Blake Griffin

And nowadays: Dirk Nowitzki

Its not really only boys that play girls. Some girls play boys, but boys don't do much about it. I've been played. I've played a guy. It's just hormones. Try not to let it get to you or he'll seem vulnerable.
