Most Famous Basketball Players

Michael Jordan-won 6 national titles with the bulls, won 3 dunk contests, Cinderella story basketball career: cut from high school team and went on to play only a freshman year at the University of North Carolina, then was drafted into the NBA and finally retired in 2003. Julius Erving-played for New York and then the 76ers. Incredible dunker revolutionized the game of basketball as we know it. Larry Bird-played for the Boston Celtics, brilliant offensive power house, he could knock down a jumper, or drain a three pointer. Erving (Magic) Johnson-played for the LA Lakers in a short career, revolutionized the game's positions, he showed that a 6'8 player could still shine in the point guard position. Tracy McGrady who I think is the funniest player in the NBA to watch today, explosive dunker and great shooter, to be continued...
