The fact that I am limiting this to the era when I have been an NBA fan (late '70's to present) makes it kind of complicated. I am sure that many of you are not as old as I am, so your era's will be different. And obviously Wilt and Oscar Robertson would be on a true "all-time" team, but I didn't really watch them play.
Positions also get a little murky, but I prefer to do it this way other than just pick the top 5 players overall. This way we have 5 discussions instead of one.
And, finally, I admit that some of these are really too close for me to call, so there are lots of other possibilities.
FIRST TEAM
PG... Magic Johnson
OG... Michael Jordan
SF... LeBron James
PF... Larry Bird
C.... Hakeem Olajuwan
SECOND TEAM
PG... Steph Curry
OG... Kobe Bryant
SF... Kevin Durant
PF... Tim Duncan
C.... Shaquille ONeal
