Quite right.
As a 90s kid this is how I see it.
1 - Magic
2 - Jordan
3 - Durant
4 - Duncan
5 - Shaq
First of all, LeBron has an INSANELY high bball IQ, hence him averaging almost a triple-double this season.
Secondly, Purely based on skill and NOT career achievements LeBron is the best Small Forward to play the game. When you're on the court its not about who has the most rings, its about who is going to get the job done.
Magic
Jordan
LeBron
Garnett
Shaq
I'm probably gunna cop it for the front court selections, but to be honest, I dont really care too much for your opinion.

I haven't seen all that many old time games and I know I have missed players because it's so hard to pick a top 5
But i'm a C's fan and 2 Lakers in my top 5 is pretty lucky just what a think from what I have seen
Wish I was around in '56 to see Russell in the olympics
haha

1. John Stockton. He's not the all time assist and steals leader for no reason, plus he's an iron man. See Steve Nash would probably be a close second but he's a bit of a defensive liability.
2. Michael Jordan. Best shooting guard of all time, his will and desire to win were matched by none.
3. Lebron James. Tough call, Larry Bird has the credentials but Lebron has that athleticism that I'd give the slight edge to. MJ would be the closer, not everyone can be a Chief.
4. Karl Malone. Nowitzki is a better 3 point shooter but Karl's got a better post game and I'm old school that way.
5. Shaquille O'Neal. Wilt was a man amongst boys but if you put them in the same era, I don't think he would have averaged 50 in a season.
