Remember you said best team, not best players at their position (you have to consider defense and chemistry):

Magic
Bird
Jordan
Karl Malone
Russell

Not having magic on every list is indefensible. remember he can play 3-4 positions and kick butt at any of them.

Explain why

because Jabbar was a better scorer and rebounder, plus equal defender when young. Jabbar was the only guy in the history of the game who could not be defensed. The sky hook was the greatest weapon in the history of the game, IMO.

One of the 4 players in NBA history to have ever recorded a quadruple-double.

Olajuwon also won the rebounding and blocked shots titles in 1989-90, becoming the third player ever (after Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Walton) to lead the league in both categories during the same season.

All-time leader in blocked shots. (note: the NBA did not keep statistics for blocked shots until the 1973-74 season)

Olajuwon is also in the top ten in blocks, scoring, rebounding, and steals. He is the only player in NBA history placed in the top ten for all four categories.

All-time NBA Playoffs leader in total blocks with 472 and blocks per game with 3.3 per game.

Olajuwon ranks 7th all-time in steals and is by far the highest ranked center. (note that steals were not recorded until the 1973-74 season)

In 1989, Olajuwon had 282 blocks and 218 steals, becoming the only NBA player to record over 200 blocks and 200 steals in a season.

Olajuwon is one of few players to record more than 200 blocks and 100 steals in a season. As the all-time leader in this feat, he did it for 11 seasons (consecutively from the 1985-86 season to the 1995-96 season). The next closest is David Robinson, who did it for 7 seasons.

Lets add the worst team also

I'd trade out King James for Kobe. As much as I hate him, I can't deny his talent. Lebron hasn't really done enough to warrant a selection like that, other than be ESPN's media darling in highschool.

because it took one helluva lot of practice, touch and skill. today's centers don't have a lot of any of that. Olajuwon had those skills, but probably started too late to really develop a specialty like that.

you're using blocks and steals to define the center position. while blocks and steals matter, and Olajuwon patrolled the paint well, he wasn't the defensive center in my mind and certainly wasn't the best offensive center. He was a great basketball player and one of the most athletic centers ever, but offensively he just doesn't measure up to Jabbar.

With Jordan and West on a hypothetical team, scoring wouldn't be a problem. I would sacrifice 3-4 pts per game for someone that had as much of a defensive presence as Akeem.

you act as if Jabbar played no D or had no presence in the paint, which is not true.

And you act as though Akeem couldn't score to save his life.

I think both players are great. But I give the Akeem the edge on defense. Alcindor gets the edge offensively.
