Point Guard- Magic Johnson
Shooting Guard- Michael Jordan
Center- Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Power Forward- Tim Duncan
Small Forward- Larry Bird(For now he gets the nod over Lebron)
Thoughts anyone?

Already been done here. Do a search.
I like it. Maybe replace Kareem with Wilt. Wilt owned him even when he was old.

Bird over LeBron is a huge joke. If LeBron and Bird had identical surrounding casts and played each other 10 times, LeBron would win 9. Larry is nowhere near him in VORP, WS, WS/48, PER, or any other reputable stat.

3.5 out of five not too bad.
Abdul-JaBong Load is about fourth best center behind Bill Russell, Wilt, and Olajuwon. I'd take Wilt by an eyelash over the big Nigerian.
Bird is not a bad choice, but it gets harder every year to deny Lebron's greatness, so I give him the edge, much as I love the hick from French Lick
Bird's teams were loaded, depressing his stats. But he was also a better passer, rebounder, and shooter, while his defense was worse.
Bird's teams were loaded meaning he only played defense when he need too. That doesn't mean he was lazy, just that, he picked how he wanted to beat you.
While I'm sure LeBron regularly plays better, because he has needed to play all out more often than Bird, (not so much in Miami) if they somehow played 11 games with identical teams, (you can't play just 10 for a series) Bird would lose the first 2, split the next 6 and win the last 3.

This is exactly my list.
Lebron
Jordan
Kobe
Shaq
Kareem
Mark Price is the answer. Or was that AI?
Wilt Chamberlain
Larry Bird
Oscar Robertson
Michael Jordan
Tim Duncan
This is a great team and would demolish all of the others that have been proposed. With all the selfless players, Wilt would average about 80 a night.
Magic
MJ
Lebron
Tim Duncan
Hakeem

I don't think you need to pigeon hole a top5 into specific positions. I'd keep your list but have LeBron over Duncan. You've got 5 great passers and Magic leading the break with Jordan and LeBron on the wings would be pretty sick.

I have a problem with Tim Duncan being considered a Power Forward when he's played way more of his career at Center.
I might pick Wilt over Kareem, but I agree with the rest, including that LeBron probably overtakes Bird down the road.

Definitely Wilt over Kareem, but Russell over Wilt. Wilt was a better individual player but Russell is the ultimate winner. He & Jordan are head & shoulders above everyone else in that regard.
