Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

The real GOAT
6X Champion
6X MVP

In his second year in the NBA put his team on his back and won a championship as the finals MVP. It was a great run. They only lost two games in the playoffs that year. He averaged 32 points and 16 boards that year. As a rookie averaged 32 points and 16 boards in the playoffs. He put up video game numbers while dominating. All this in an era when he was getting beat up every game. They let them play. He would be unstoppable with todays rules.

I would post more but Jazz fans is down and hard to get going.
 
I thought long and hard about this. Some of my top choices are already taken - Wilt, Kareem, maybe Michael. But really, this is all about winning. And one person did more of that than anybody else is sports history.

With the 10th selection, Gandalfe chooses: BILL RUSSELL

Former NBA player and head coach, Don Nelson, described Bill Russell in a quote that says, "There are two types of superstars. One makes himself look good at the expense of the other guys on the floor. But there's another type who makes the players around him look better than they are, and that's the type Russell was."
