I miss the greatest NBA Team of all time......the starting five for the Boston Celtics.....
Kevin McHale
Larry Bird
Dennis Johnson
Robert Parrish
Danny Anige
As you can tell I was a big Boston Celtics fan but WARHAWK is right.....MJ was one of the best players ever and he is missed in the NBA like Dale Earnhardt is missed in NASCAR..... O0

The way wrestling works, he may be wrestling again now... But haven't watched in a few years.
Before WCW, he played for the Falcons.. here is with hair.

Didn't even have to think on this one, beyond a doubt, Sweetness, Walter Payton.
-
He can be over the top as a studio host, but without a doubt, my all time favorite NBA Player.....
The Round Mound of Rebound, Sir Charles....Charles Barkley.
The guy played with more determination, heart, and guts than anyone I've ever seen on the court.
-
Frank Robinson..........Baseball Hall of Famer and former Baltimore Oriole.
The guy was an amazing player...... I saw him actually carry the team for weeks at a time with bat, glove, and base running.
I haven't seen a player remotely as good as him (in all phases of the game)since he retired.
-
OJ Simpson.........(You guys know I am kidding right???)
Seriously Muhammed Ali Still think he was the Greatest!!

John Stockton

I have to agree with "Sweetness". Run through, around and over you.(https://www.slybaldguys.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fhomepages.ius.edu%2FLRKINZER%2FWalter-Payton-Photograph-C12886740.jpg&hash=51517db7ce40139381c65083f7163a74003acb63)

MJ - Kobe and LeBron can't and won't ever come close!
-
The Phila. 76'ers famous number 6 Julius "Dr. J" Erving , remember when he used to fly to the hoop ?
Football would be For the Eagles of course,#12 Randle Cunningham and #31 Wilbert Montgomery, #99 Jerome Brown, #92 Reggie White
Man I could go on and on and on ........ But I'll stop there.
- PEACE

Hockey - Mario Lemieux. Le Manifique! We now have Sidney Crosby and Evgeny Malkin, who are tow of the most exciting players in the NHL.
Pro football - the 1970s Steelers - far and away the best dynasty in the NFL's history.
The Steelers of the 1970s have more HOFers than most NFL franchises have in their respective histories.
Of course, Mel Blount was sly long before MJ did it.
MLB - I would like to say Roberto Clemente. I saw him play in 1968, before I turned five years old. I don't remember much of the game, but I remember being there.
The pre-cocaine Dave Parker was a magnificent player. He hit for average, for power, stole bases and had a rocket right arm. Parker threw out two runners at the plate in the 1979 All Star Game. Then he started with the white stuff and his play deteriorated.
Not a big NBA fan, but the 1980s Celtics-Lakers championships were great series.
