Duncan and Chamberlain should be on the 1st team ahead of Malone and Kareem for starters.
No pun intended.

If his list does not include Oscar Robertson then I cannot include him on the list of competent NBA scribes.
Well fine I shall.
PG: Oscar Robertson
SG: Michael Jordan
SF: Julius Irving
PF: Bill Russell
C: Wilt Chamberlain
2nd team
PG: Earvin Johnson
SG: Pete Maravich
SF: Larry Bird
PF: Elvin Hayes
C: Lew Alcindor (yeah I'm being difficult)
In today's game Russell would run a good chance of being a PF instead of a C. However, if I had to make Bill the C of the 2nd team then Hayes would move to first team and Bob Pettit would be 2nd team.
That's a pretty good list right there. If I were to make a change I'd probably replace The Doctor with Larry Bird. I wish we could've seen The Doctor at his absolute best in the NBA instead of the ABA.
In my opinion, Larry Bird might be the best "pure" basketball player who ever lived. To do what he did without being blessed with much athletic ability was just remarkable. He understood and played the game on a level that few have ever come close to attaining.
PG: Tom thumb
SG: Bilbo
SF: Merry
PF: Pippin
C: Frodo
Barnum as coach.
What a side show that would be.
God, how I hate the 21st century.

Tim Duncan is the best Power Forward ever.
My list:
PG: Magic Johnson
SG: Michael Jordan
SF: Larry Bird
PF: Tim Duncan
C : Kareem Abdul-Jabbar/Wilt
If that was team in each of their prime... wow
I still think one of the best quotes I ever heard was from Wilt who said something along the lines of "If they kept stats on blocked shots when (Bill) Russell and I played, we would have averaged a triple double every year."
It really depends how you divide centers and big men. If I were making a dream team I wouldn't divide it into "power forward" and "center." I'd just throw all post players together. In that case, I wouldn't have Duncan in there.
It would have been awesome if David Robinson had been in his prime when Duncan got there.
In my opinion, Larry Bird might be the best "pure" basketball player who ever lived. To do what he did without being blessed with much athletic ability was just remarkable.
Is there an echo in here?
In my opinion, Sam Perkins might be the best "pure" basketball player who ever lived. To do what he did without being blessed with much athletic ability was just remarkable.
