I was introduced to the NBA back at the start of the 90's. Here goes:
1. Michael Jordan
2. Kobe Bryant
3. Larry Bird
4. Lebron James
5. Hakeem Olajuwon (this was an absolute toss up. Could have been any one of a huge number of players)
Larry Bird is so underrated for mine (you only have to listen to the respect his fellow players had for him in his time) and Kobe > Lebron any day!
Even Lebron is shakey for me in that top 5. Imagine a guy like Barkley with the freedom in today's game.
Steph Curry could easily be in my top 5 purely because of the way he has changed the way the game is played these days with his 3 point shooting over a long period of time.
