Top 10 basketball players of all time?

Having been thinking of the top 10, but only coming up with 9 definite ones, I'm pretty sure I've got a good list but I'd like to hear from others. I'm not putting it in order, but first, I would start out with the 3 great centers: Russell, Chamberlain and Jabbar. I think it's easy to name 3 of the non-centers - Jordan, Bird and Magic. The next person I would put on the list is Oscar Robertson. 2 are active players: Lebron and Kobe. So that's my 9. Now if I'd have to name a tenth, I would go with Moses Malone -- but I could see an argument for Shaq, Olajuwon, Stockton, Karl Malone, Julius Erving, Jerry West, George Mikan, Eljin Baylor, Tim Duncan and perhaps a few others.
