    PG- Magic Johnson

    SG- Michael Jordan

    SF- LeBron or Larry Bird

    PF- Tim Duncan

    C- Hakeem Olajuwon

    Hakeem is the best Center ever why do people keep saying Chamberlain and Russell, they played in an era pro-dominantly white era with not the best talent. If it were Kobe or LeBron in that era they would dominate just like Wilt did, Wilt would be like Bynum or a little worse than Howard. Hakeem played and won 2 titles while Karl Malone and Stockton were in the West as well.

    Point is Hakeem is the best Center ever. Just cause he didn't win 11 rings or score 100 points nobody cares about him. Still the best.

    Kareem is number 4 and I agree with the rest (removing Tim Duncan).

    I know I will get TDs but I agree that Magic was more talented than MJ. As a rookie Magic could play all 5 positions and even the 5 spot when Kareem was injured.

    In his rookie season dropped 40 points several times. And Magic was one of those players that legitimately made those players around him better, you could tell just by watching him.

    I think the GOAT is arguable.

    You got it right except for Wilt Chamberlain. In his time teams had way more possessions and the 3 point line wasn't invented yet. If you actually seen him play you can see he had no talent just great physique. Hakeem Olajuwon is the best in my opinion who has the most blocks of all time.
