Rubio will never be the scorer Pistol Pete was, but I can see the comparisons in how they command the game.

I think Monta Ellis is a good comparison for A.I. Though hes much taller and his ppg obviously isn't as high as A.I.
For Shaq, maybe Bynum. But still we know Bynum is no Shaq. lol.

Other than the fact that Bynum's a 7-footer that plays for NBA, i see very little comparison between the two. Even though Shaq had great footowork in the post, his game was heavily predicated on RAW power that I just don't see nearly as often out of Bynum.

There's a reason why all 4 of those guys are Top 5 players to ever play the game and it's because of their rare and unique style of play that puts them above the rest.
My understanding was that we should pick unique players.. not players that were better than everyone else at everything, though the OP does lend some credibility to your statement by putting Magic up there.
But I think Barkley is it... a 6'4 PF that can run, handle, shoot, but most of all HIT THE GLASS.
Marion is a good answer, IMO, as is LeBron. He is like Magic with his all-around game, being too big to be a guard, but he plays like one anyway, yet he is like Jordan with his scoring prowess, and becoming the defender. Not saying he's on the level of either of those two, but he combines certain elements like none other. Another one could be Vlade... his passing and craftiness from the C position was insane.
