Wilt slept with ~20K women, who can argue that he wasn't the greatest player ever?

YEAH BOY! YEAH BOY! PICK UP THE PHONE!

Jordan. Not very close IMO. I agree with the others that Robertson should've been on this list, and find it absurd that he doesn't get the attention that Magic, Bird, Jabbar and the other legends get. I hadn't heard of him until I was like 12.

Larry Bird? Jesus H. Christ.

Now if the question was greatest honky player in the NBA Bird looks like a strong contender.

Yeah, I'm just saying that having Larry Bird on the short list is like putting Joe D. on the short list of best baseball players ever.

You can know he's an inner circle HOFer and still realize that he ain't near the best ever.

I voted for MJ, but could make an argument for Wilt. There is no need to list other players. IMO, no good argument can be made (ok, Maybe the Big O) for any other player compared to these two.

No option for Lebron? You will regret this poll in about 8 years.

Lebron, easy.
