George Mikan

George Mikan was in the first class to make the hall of fame which included the creator of basketball, James Naismith. His nickname was Mr. Basketball, but I don't know why. He played for the Minneapolis Lakers. The year after he retired he was the coach for the Minneapolis Lakers! He was a center and wore #99!

Awards:

4 time NBA all star

He has some more awards, but those are from the NBL and the BAA

Figure it out: what does it say on his jersey in the picture above?

Scottie Pippen

The second best player on the Bulls ever is Scottie Pippen. There is only one person I can think of that you can compare to him at the small forward position. That is LeBron James! He played on the Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets, and the Portland Trail Blazers. He was drafted by the Seattle Supersonics with the 5th pick in the 1987 NBA Draft!

Awards:

6 time NBA champion

7 time all star

Who is better: Scottie Pippen or LeBron James?

Lew Alcindor

Lew Alcindor, better known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the person that I'm going to tell you about right now! He played on the Bucks and the Lakers. His twenty year career made him (and still is) the all-time leading scorer in NBA history with 38,387 points! He was the first pick in the 1969 NBA Draft by the Milwaukee Bucks. He is another center that can compare to Hakeem Olajuwon.

Awards:

6 time NBA champion

6 time NBA MVP

19 time all star

2 time NBA Finals MVP

NBA Rookie of the Year

Who is better: Lew Alcindor or Hakeem Olajuwon?



Hakeem Olajuwon

Hakeem Olajuwon played center for the Houston Rockets and the Toronto Raptors. He is one of the greatest centers of all-time! The only center I can think of that can compare to him is Shaquille O'Neal! He was the 1st pick in the 1984 NBA Draft! (Same draft as Michael Jordan)

Awards:

2 time NBA Champion

NBA MVP

2 time NBA Finals MVP

12 time all-star

Who do you think is better: Hakeem Olajuwon or Shaquille O'Neal?

Magic Johnson

Another one of the best NBA players ever is Magic Johnson. Magic Johnson's real name is Earvin Johnson. Magic is just his nickname. He played for the Los Angeles Lakers! Magic is the best point guard to ever play in the NBA. He was the 1st pick in the 1979 NBA Draft!

Awards:

5 time NBA Champion

3 time MVP

12 time all-star

3 time NBA Finals MVP

Who do you think is the best point guard to ever play in the NBA?

Who should I review next?

And I'm Mark

Hi everyone I'm Mark. I'm going to be doing posts on this blog too. Some of the best players I can think of are Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Karl Malone. One of the best players in the NBA goes to my church. Not a lot of people know about I'm, but he's a hall of gamer, so he's good, and he's Dan Issel. I also have two other blogs, GBM Corner, which reviews video games, books, and movies. Another one is Clippers Universe, which is all about the Clippers.

Michael Jordan

Right now, I'm going to tell you about Michael Jordan! He is the best NBA player of all-time. He was a shooting guard for the Chicago Bulls! He retired three times! During one of those retirements he played minor league baseball. It was right after his dad died. Then, he came back, played two seasons for the Washington Wizards, and then retired for good.

He was drafted 3rd by the Chicago Bulls in the 1984 NBA Draft, right after Hakeem Olajuwon and Sam Bowie.

Awards:

6 time NBA Champion

5 time MVP

14 time all-star

6 time NBA Finals MVP

10 time NBA scoring champion

NBA Rookie of the Year

Who do you think is the best NBA player ever?
