Top 10 Tuesday returns

Top 10 Tuesday returns to the blog today, but its going to be a little different. The list today is a ten-man roster of NBA players from my childhood.

Starters

PG: Magic Johnson - Great vision and ball handling skills. His size makes him a very versatile player in that he can play anything from point to center.

SG: Michael Jordan - The greatest player ever to touch a basketball. Can do anything on the court you need. His intensity and desire to be the best is matched by none.

SF: Larry Bird - Great shooter who puts himself in positions to make plays on the court. Will get in the heads of his competitors on both sides of the court.

PF: Kevin Garnett - The youngest player to make my list. His fierceness on both sides of the court gives the starting lineup a tougher look.

C: Shaq O'Neal - The Big Aristotle can not be checked by any defender, and with great shooters on the perimeter opponents won't be able to double him.

Bench

PG: Gary Payton: Good passer, but great defensive player. You don't get the nickname "the Glove" for nothing.

SG: Reggie Miller: Best three-point shooter in NBA history.

SF: Scottie Pippen: Played Robin to MJs Batman. Don't let that fool you; he's still a great player on his own.

PF: Charles Barkley: Undersized, but great work ethic and rebounding ability. Good locker room guy.

C: Hakeem Olajuwon: Very athletic big man with great post moves.
