I know that's somehow a stupid question. But I do wanna know who is for you the guy of all-time. I wanna make the 8-9 jerseys of the best guys for the automatic practice jerseys.

Michael Jordan is but I think Wilt Chamberlain comes pretty close to MJ.

I'd add Jerry West, Pistol Pete, and Isiah Thomas to this list as well. Also, I'd take Michael off the list and make a jersey for him because with him on the list, not too many votes are going to go for the other players.

No problem, as long as you make a Karl Malone one. :D

how about Dominque Wilkens...sure he never took his team to the playoffs but he was a star..and i don't think u can put Duncan down as the best player yet...he might have injures this season.(unlikely but still)..he hasn't entered the hall of fame...so i wouldn't count him yet...

Nique isn't eligible for the Hall yet, but as soon as he is, I would hope that he's an automatic inductee.

The Hawks went to the playoffs almost every year Dominique was there, except for 91-92 when they finished with the same record as the Heat but Miami had the tiebraker over them so the Heat went to the playoffs instead and got destroyed by the Bulls.

Well its the way you look at it Nick, I suppose the nine votes for Jordan were based on team succes compared to Wilt's team succes in his prime.

That could be ONE reason.

The second reason, which I think is the case here;

People remember Jordan more then they do Wilt, they've heard of Wilts greatness, not seen him play. Whereas they have seen MJ play. (Y)

Like I said before, as long as Michael is on the list, the other players are not going to get a lot of votes. Although there will be people like Nick and myself who vote for Kareem and Karl Malone. :wink:
