For me Micheal Jordan is the Jimi Hendrix of basketball, but still there lots of great players ever set foot in the NBA court. Hakeem Olajuwon, Majic Johnson, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, Larry Bird, John Stockton, Isiah Thomas, Clyde Drexler and others. These are also Great players.

I may not have enough space to continue some of the great players, but it doesn’t mean that they are not famous. I know that it is very hard to compare players of two different eras and two different positions. And still they have created their own name and became famous of what they are.

The question, " Do we still remember the greatest players in NBA?" is very subjective and cannot be proven. Some people say yes, other say no. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, and who knows, I might be wrong on the whole subject. All I know it's that we are unique individuals and we have are own favorites to call that player our number one NBA player ever.
