This is going to be unlike my usual work on this website. We are kind of in a lull period for sports especially the ones I cover. So, I thought today since the big topic is the NBA I would do my top NBA players ever. This isn't going to be any top 10 list though this is going to be a list by position. I will start with Point Guards then Shooting Guards, Small Forwards, Power Forwards and I will end with Centers. If you want a look at my top players in NBA history at any position, I did a top 15 list on my Twitter @BlackYellowEx but for now let's, get into this list. Listed will be players career averages, how many championships they have won and what teams they played for. One final PSA and this will be in all caps because it is important. ERA THAT THEY PLAYED IN MATTERS I AM NOT OVER REWARDING PEOPLE FOR PLAYING MAILMEN AND PLUMBERS.
