Here's mine. Criteria were: 1) my general knowledge of these guys based on studying NBA history over the years, 2) career stats with an emphasis on playoffs, 3) championships, 4) individual accolades, 5) (completely subjective) extent to which the player helped define the era in which he played:

1. MJ
2. Kareem
3. Wilt
4. Magic
5. Bird
6. Shaq
7. Russell
8. Duncan
9. Kobe
10. Hakeem
11. Oscar Robertson
12. Dr. J
13. Moses Malone
14. Jerry West
15. Dirk
16. Karl Malone
17. Charles Barkley
18. Bob Cousy
19. David Robinson
20. Elgin Baylor
21. Bob Pettit
22. Rick Barry
23. Patrick Ewing
24. Stockton
25. T--Zeke & J-Kidd

I bolded a couple guys who I think are probably the most notable omissions on some of the lists above.

Pippen probably the first man out. It's hard for me to leave him out with six championships and great career numbers, plus fantastic defense, but I have to wonder how many championships Zeke, Kidd, or Stockton would have had if they got to play with MJ and Phil.
