I'd have to say Reggie Miller too. He hasn't been out of competitive play that long and he retired while he and his game were still in pretty decent shape.

I looked at this whole list and didn't see real answers. First, Reggie's whole game wasn't spot up shooting, it was moving without the ball and getting quick shots. Obviously towards the end of his career he showed that he lost a step. He could be a good 4th option, but no more. Shooting wise, the best guy would be Allan Houston for the fact that he probably could do the same exact thing he did for years.... shoot. On a team like the Knicks who have plenty of people who score, yet none who can just shoot, he would make the biggest impact. But if you're looking to add a #2 option there really is no real option. The closest you could get is probably Sprewell.

I'm going to pull one out of left field here and say John Stockton.
Yes, a very long time out the game, but if we're talking about players who could make the biggest impact then the little white boy gets my nod.
His age would render him defensively useless, but he never was the most atheltic of players anyway. You could guarantee in every minute he played he'd still be playing that same low-turnover high-assist rate basketball that made him one of the greatest point guards of all time.

The retired player who would play the best is Allen Houston. He is only 36 and would be well rested. I GUARANTEE he could average 15 pts per game on the right team!
Jordan probably could score 15 per but it would not be efficient points (pts per shot). What I'm trying to say is if Jordan and Houston played same amount Houston would score more.
Jordan coming back would tarnish his career to the point of shame!

James Naismith, definitely. Because after watching many NBAers 'play' the game, he would certainly change some of the rules. Like dribbling the ball more than 2 times in a possession by a player would be a turnover.

Wilt. The man was such a fine physical specimen that even in his forties, the Lakers and the 76ers are both trying to pull him out of retirement. Even during the 80's when Wilt was 50, the Nets were seriously pursuing the man to come out retirement. IIRC, it was also during this time that Wilt shutdown Magic Johnson in an informal scrimmage.

Yeah agree, Reggie Miller. I also think Karl Malone because he's always in great shape, ready to bang bodies inside the paint.

1 I like Yao but he is no Dream
2 Hakeem never had a all star team around him
3 could you imagine having Steve Francis and T-Mac with Hakeem

I would have to go with MJ.
He may be out of shape now, but give him time to prepare a comeback.
He's still a vicious competitor and most of all has heart too want to win
