[bestdayever]

Wanting to get peoples opinions on this, personally my greatest of all time list includes the older generation.

1. Kareem Abdul Jabbar
2. Bill Russell
3. WIlt Chamberlain
4. Kobe Bryant
5. Michael Jordan

If there was a 6th, that'd obviously go to LeBron.

Making a list with only five players is a real challenge! With the different positions, historical eras, and changes in play style, it's hard to come up with a defendable list. I'll go with:

1. Michael Jordan
2. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
3. Bill Russell
4. Wilt Chamberlain
5. LeBron James

Agreed, there's so many greats that I want to mention, but I also wanted a challenge.
