I could not pick one single player. I played against a lot of great players. Certainly among forwards I would list Elgin Baylor and Bob Pettit. Wilt Chamberlain and Bill Russell in the pivot. In the backcourt, Jerry West, Earl Monroe, Dick Barnett, Walt Frazier, John Havlicek, Sam Jones, KC Jones for his defense. I’m sure I’m leaving out people I should name.

2. Who do you think was the greatest player of all time?

Again, I don’t think you can pick just one player. What are your criteria? The player’s numbers? Individual achievement? Wins? Championships? Plus which, circumstances are different, depending on the role a player was asked to play on his team, and the level of competition at any given time. I will say this: Elgin Baylor belongs on any list you could make up. He is almost always left off these lists and he is certainly overlooked when he should not be. He could do everything on a basketball court. Then I would say Michael Jordan, for what he accomplished. Bill Russell. Kareem - the all-time leading scorer. Wilt Chamberlain for the way he dominated the game and opened up scoring.

3. Which was the greatest team in NBA history?

What are the criteria? Wins in one season? Total number of championships? The level of competition at the time? The 1970-71 NBA champion Milwaukee Bucks won 66 games and we were never tested. The 1997 NBA champion Chicago Bulls won 72 games and they were trying to win every game and break the record. The Celtics in the ’50s and ’60s won 11 championships once they got Bill Russell. The 1967 Philadelphia 76ers with Wilt Chamberlain were a great team; they were the only team to beat the Celtics with Russell healthy during that entire period.
