PrintSo I'm just craving to rank my top 5 favorite players at each position and thought I would share it with you guys. These are the guys I loved watching the most while I was growing up and it would be cool to see who your favorite players are as well.
First I will start with point guards:
5. Mike Bibby
4. Derek Fisher
3. John Stockton
2. Steve Nash
1. Jason Kidd
Shooting Guards
5. Kobe Bryant
2. Michael Jordan
1. Reggie Miller
Small Forwards
2. Paul Pierce
1. Kevin Durant
Power Forward
5. Karl Malone
3. Larry Johnson
2. Tim Duncan
Centers
5. Shaquille O'Neal
4. Shawn Bradley
2. Ben Wallice
1. David Robinson
This is just for fun so let's see your list.

i appreciate your list
there are just lots of players on it that didn’t come to my mind as players i loved to watch (but that’s a matter of taste, i guess).
some players on your list i don’t/didn’t like to watch:
Stockton, Malone, Duncan, Ewing (all boring), Allan Houston (can’t include a player from those ugly Knicks-Heat series), Miller (i don’t like watching pure shooters)
players i agree with:
Kidd (always in control of the game), Bibby (once upon a time, he was considered one of the best at his position, if not the best), AI (he was fun to watch getting to the rim at will), MJ (of course), Shaq
players i loved to watch:
Dominique (still has the coolest nickname ever), Rodman (always fun to watch him hustle), Barkley (ran the floor like no other big man PF in his generation), Payton and Kemp (those two were actually my favorite duo of the 90s – man, we haven’t seen a player like the Sonics’ Kemp since), Hakeem (loved his post moves, he scored against all the bigs, unstoppable), Jason Williams (second best nickname all time), Chris Webber (before injuries stole his hops, he was the original Blake Griffin), Tim Hardaway (loved his crossover)
Born In 1988
I was born in 1988 so a lot of the players that you mentioned I wasn’t able to see enough of or any at all by the time I really started paying attention. I remember seeing Space Jam and that is what got me into Jordan, Bradley, Ewing and Johnson. I didn’t really pay attention to the NBA itself until Jordan’s final last game as a Bull. I really wish I could have seen a lot more of Hakeem, Barkley, Rodman, and Wilkins. From the highlights they looked outstanding ,but I just missed them. At 10 it’s really hard to remember details like that. haha

The tooth fairy must have a thing for Cole Aldrich.
His tooth keeps disappearing and reappearing.
Nothing Like Watching That Baby-Faced Overweight Celtic Pull Up For Way To Deep Three's!
Gotta love the long socks to. One of my favorite players because he made me laugh every time I watched him. Just ridiculous deep three’s his whole career ,but he made them.
