There was a very interesting conversation on the radio today. The hosts were discussing the All Time Top 5 for certain NBA teams, so I thought it would be a good piece here......So here it goes:
Which ever NBA team is your team, who would be your All Time Top 5 players for that team. Mine would go like this: Denver Nuggets
Carmelo Anthony- Scoring
Fat Lever- Floor leadership, defense
Alex English- Led NBA in scoring for the decade (1980's)
David Thompson- The origional "Skywalker"
Dikembe Mutombo- A presense in the paint

La Lakers without a doubt. What team can mess with this line up:
C- Shaq
PF- Chamberlin
SF-James Worthy
SG- Kobe Bryant
PG- Magic Johnson
Completely unstoppable.

I agree with you.
David Thompson was awesome.
He could jump!
Here's what wiki says he's doing now:
Following his NBA career, Thompson continued to struggle with drugs and alcohol, his life declining to the point where he found himself jailed for a brief period of time. With encouragement from a pastor who visited the jail, he became a committed Christian and put his life back in order. Thompson now devotes his time to working with young basketball players, helping them to aspire to his achievements and avoid his mistakes. His autobiography, Skywalker, charts the highs and lows of his eventful life.
Thompson was enshrined in the Basketball Hall of Fame as a player on May 6, 1996.
Thompson eventually returned to school at North Carolina State, and in 2003 he finished his degree in sociology, for which he had been only 7 credits shy when he left to play professional basketball in 1975. He completed his studies during the first summer session of 2003, thus finishing before his daughter, Erika, who completed her coursework in arts applications in the second summer session of 2003.

for celtic fans, you should consider replacing kevin garnett with kevin mchale especially before his career altering injury. he was an automatic 2 points at the post and defended centers like kareem abdul jabbar.
