NBA All Time Team

After a great conversation with my dad about the nastiness of the Jazz, or lack of, we started talking all time players.  My all time team would start with four players in three positions.  John Stockton would start at the point (1), Michael Jordan would start at shooting guard (2), and Larry Bird would start at small forward.  The back up at all three positions would be Magic Johnson.  Maybe I'd even go Stockton at the 1, Magic at the 2 and Jordan at the 3.  Thats the beauty there, you have three guys that could play in 2 or three spots.  My power forward would have to be Karl Malone, I don't know anyone you could even argue.  My center is up for debate, I would probably go with Hakeem Olajuwon.  My dad said Wilt Chamberlain or Lew Alcindor.  Yah, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was great as well.  You also have to mention Shaq here, but I don't know where he would fit.  Honestly, Kareem would be my choice, but any of the five would fit.  There is one player currently playing in the NBA that I might put on the list, Labron James.  He is an animal.  So here we go.

My Bench would be-

Larry Bird-FG% 50, 3P% 38, FT% 89, PTS 21,791

6-9, 220 lbs PPG 24.3

Shaquille O'Neal-FG% 58, FT% 53, ORB 4068, TRB 12,566, BLK 2628, PTS 27,619

7-1, 300 lbs ORPG 3.6, TRPB 11.2, BPG 2.4, PPG 24.7

LaBron James-FG% 47, FT% 74, AST 3159, STL 830, BLK 405, PTS 12,993

6-8, 240 lbs                             APG 6.7, SPG 1.8, BPG .9, PPG 27.5

OK, so admittedly, it's a big team.  Isn't basketball about size though?  I just can't think of any other guards that I would put out there.  There is always Gary Payton, who is a personal favorite, but all time best?  I was to young to remember Pistol Pete or Jerry "the Logo" West, so maybe one of those guys, but who knows.  Anyway here it is.  Let me know what you think.
