Hakeem Olajuwon- 20/12/3
Lew Alcindor- 29/15

nice one... but how bout the awards? ROTY? All-Star? 1st/2nd All-NBA? MVP? ASG MVP? FMVP? Championship? I look at that aswell... even tho i dont type down all of their stuff above... i can look that up... but still they diserve to be there based on those numbers alone lol... adding them in

Lew Alcindor? Kareem.. yea got him in there..

[NotYetGreat]

You have Lew AND KAJ?

[pauk]

guess im gona start then.... after #1 #2 it gets freakin tough... i think i might go like this anyways:



1. Wilt Chamberlain
2. Oscar Robertson
3. Magic Johnson
5. Wes Unseld
6. Walt Belamy
7. Elvin Hayes
8. Michael Jordan
9. Shaquille Oneal
10. David Robinson

its tough after #2-#3 its very close.. u could even argue having D.Robinson at #4

[shawbryant]

Oscar was insane
