| Michael Jordan, he could distribute the ball and made all the teammates around him look great. Scottie Pippen was nothing before or after Jordan. He took them from a good team to an championship when he started getting the ball around.

What did Jordan ever win without Pippen? | |

| In baseball: George Brett
In football: Marshall Faulk comes to mind but I would have to go with Ronnie Lott or John Taylor in that category
In basketball: Bill Russell, however, most recently Dennis Rodman (except his last 3 years where he was in and out of the league)

| Rambis, Lambear, Rodman, Barkley, etc. understood something very few pro basketball players understand today...THEY HAD 6 FOULS AND THEY WERE GOING TO GIVE AT LEAST 4 OUT EVERY GAME! Players didn't stroll down the lane back then like they do these days, because they knew that a HARD foul was waiting for them. This led to a more fundamentally sound basketball game, more passes, more beating defenses by moving off the ball, etc.

In basketball: Bill Russell, however, most recently Dennis Rodman (except his last 3 years where he was in and out of the league) | Amazing. You and I agree on two of three. Brett is one of my two or three favorite players ever. There ar many guys who fit the bill in this category.
Baseball:Barry Larkin, Paul O'Neill, John Smoltz, Darren Daulton(pre-insanity), Derek Jeter, Joe Morgan, and Roger Clemens.
Football: Brett Favre, Marvin Harrison, Walter Payton, Matt Millen, Fred Biletnikoff, Ray Lewis, Mike Webster, and Darren Woodson.
Basketball: Charles Oakley, Tim Hardaway, Derek Harper, Mario Elie, Avery Johnson, Dan Roundfield, and both Terry Porters.
These lists are in no way exhaustive, they're just the first guys who came to mind. | |

| I like the Charles Oakley pick too...another guy who ferociously guarded the lane.
