That is a pretty good list, I agree. I would suggest Oscar Robertson on the list. Did you leave Karem off the list on purpose?

1. Michael Jordan -- No individual player has done more with less.
2. Magic Johnson -- The greatest point guard in the game. And the most versatile.
3. Wilt Chamberlin -- No stopping him.
4. Kareem -- Sky hook!
5. Oscar Robertson -- Averaged a triple double. Averaged a triple double.
6. Larry Bird -- This dirty MF was as ruthless as Jordan.
7. Jerry West -- He's the league's icon.
8. Bob Cousy -- I love black and white film of him playing. I almost took Pistol Pete Maravich here.
9. Tim Duncan -- Rings baby. And when its playoff time, he rises to the top.
10. Shaquille O'Neal -- the most unstoppable force in the game since Wilt. Just doesn't have the rings he should.
While I Iike Malone, the lack of rings hurts him here.

most of it is correct, however, i have some revision you could consider.
1- Michael Jordan (SG) - no doubt about that there
2- Larry Bird (SF) - he was unstoppable on offense. was as good a shooter as any, and was as good a passer as any. made up for his lack of speed with his smarts. had great defense too. constantly got steal after steal.
3- Tim Duncan (PF) - yes i said it. tim duncan. 2 mvps, 4 rings, 3 finals mvp's, all star every year, all nba first team EVERY time except once, when he was second team, all nba first defensive team every time but once, when he was on second team, and more to come. oh yea, easy 20 +10 + 2 numbers consistently
4 - Bill Russell - the only guy to beat chamberlain. too many championships for fingers lol
5 - kareem abdul jabbar - jesus christ i think the skyhook was the only physically unguardable shot.
6 - a bold pick, but i say john stockton - i have never seen a better point guard, and yes i saw magic. stockton could shoot when needed, is the ALL TIME leader in STEALS AND ASSISTS. magic is the all time leader in turnovers and played alongside one of the best players ever in kareem. oh ya michael cooper and company were not bad either.
7 - karl malone - ya he had stockton but seriously, nobody could stop this beast. bigger, stronger, faster
8- wilt chamberlain - i guess i sorta have to have him on this list, though i personally dont like him. he was a man among boys back then with only russell as competition. russell's team beat wilt's team every time. i have to say, wilt was just a BEAST against everybody else. 100 points is no fluke. he AVERAGED 50 points and 25 rebounds over the course on one season. if he was 4 inches shorter i would give him more respect
9 - Oscar Robertson - the only player to ever average a triple double in a season and had a quadruple double. this guy is a straight up baller.
10 - Shaquille Oneal - yes i know he misses 50% of his games nowadays. yes i know the guy cant make a free throw to save his life. yes i know he is a fatass. however, when given the ball, defenders are so scared they **** in their pants. back in the day was the most unstoppable player the league had ever seen. even today, when the fat old guy is given the ball, he attracts triple teams. pretty impressive resume when it comes to numbers are rings too.

Diagree I'll pick David Robinson over Dominic Wilkins, common dude the guy is only one of the two NBA player who one MVP, Defensive Player of Year, Rookie of the Year and IBM Award over his career the other is on top of you list.
2nd I'll put in Tim Duncan against Karl Malone, both two time MVP but Tim Duncan has three rings and by the numbers i think Tim Duncan can reach what Malone accomplished after all he's still playing.
Kareem Abdul jabbar over Bob Cousy, Lead the league in scoring how come he's not there and beside by the time of cousy they dont play much of the defense.
Actually I want to put in Hakeem Olajuwon but i have no one to remove so i'll just make him of the 11th spot then
