Your Top 10 Favorite Players of All-Time

[Tailback U]

I tried to search for this topic but my search tool isn't working correctly, so if this has been done before then please link me.

If not, post your top 10 favorite players of all time that you had the pleasure of watching over a significant period of time.

1. Michael Jordan
2. Hakeem Olajuwon
3. Gary Payton
4. Shawn Kemp
5. Dennis Rodman
6. Shaq
7. Kobe Bryant
8. Ray Allen
9. John Stockton
10. Charles Barkley

This was a lot tougher than expected. I honestly don't even know how to rank some of these at all, so I understand if some of you don't want to actually try to rank them 1-10. I'm just interested in seeing who some of your guys favorite players were while growing up.

Feel free to include current players as well, I honestly just don't watch basketball nearly as much as I used to.

Dominique Wilkins was one of my favorites too. That dunk contest between him and Jordan was probably my favorite dunk contest ever because I was a little kid.

It was between Majerle and Ray Allen on my list for favorite 3 point shooter of all time. Glen Rice was also in mind. Del Curry also comes to mind now that I think a little more about it. Reggie Miller was amazing and the best I've ever seen, but he just rubbed me the wrong way.

Are some of you naming guys for their college careers?

Few of my other favorites because I'm a Golden State fan include Tim Hardaway, Latrell Sprewell, and Chris Mullin.

I also don't understand how some people put guys they never really got to see play in their top favorites of all time players they watched list but I won't argue it.

Absolutely, that's why Stromile Swift is on there, lol. I should have put Shaq on my list too, I just didn't think of him for some reason.

Are some of you naming guys for their college careers?

Kinda.

I have Georgetown players on my list, but that's because I enjoy watching players I watched in college play in the NBA. Those aren't necessarily my favorite Hoyas of all time, if that makes any sense.

Jordan was my #2 when i was small but now i hate all things Chapel Hill so i have since bumped him down some. and i always hated Shaq ... i think because he left Penny and the Magic when they could have won some titles together
