There are a lot of ways to define toughness:
1. Charles Barkley has the most self-esteem
2. Shaq is the strongest
3. Ron Artest and Rasheed are the best fighters
4. Allen Iverson plays like someone twice his size
5. Earl Boykins can bench three times his own weight
6. Kobe has the resilience to play a season through a false accusation that threatens to send his neck into a noose. He can withstand any emotional setback.
7. D-Wade can play through fractured ribs, sinus infections, and shoulder dislocations. He can withstand any physical setbacks.

Are you talking about toughest as in toughest to guard against or toughest as in bad *** dudes?
Shaq in his prime and Wilt Chamberlain were probably the toughest to defend.
Maurice Lucas was one of the toughest "bully" kind of people when he was with the Blazers.

My vote goes to Charles Oakley, formerly of the Bulls, Knicks and Raptors. Supposedly he knocked out Tyrone Hill before a game because he owed Charles money, and also slapped Jeff McInnis before a game during warm-ups for dating his ex-girlfriend. Not to mention he was one of the better rebounders of the 80's and 90's.

Wilt Chamberlain in terms of playing time. The guy once averaged 48.5 mins a game (a regulation game is only 48mins).
John Havlicek in terms of stamina.
Dave Cowens in terms of being a team enforcer (the one assigned to piss off the opposing team).
