先给名单...
PG： Magic Johnson
SG： Michael Jordan
SF： LeBron James
PF： Tim Duncan
C： Wilt Chamberlain
以下为评选原因...
Center: The competition boiled down to Chamberlain, Russell, Kareem Abdul
Jabbar and O'Neal. It was awfully hard to choose. You could make a case for
all four of them. Jabbar had a great field goal percentage at 56 percent,
shot well from the line, scored almost 25 points per game and won six
championships. O'Neal was a dominant defender and a points/rebounds machine.
He shot an even better 58 predent from the field. But in the end, the choice
came down to Russell vs. Chamberlain. Russell averaged 15 points per game,
whereas Wilt averaged an incredible 30.1 points per game. Both claimed more
than 22 rebounds a game. The advantage shifts to Russell when you consider he
led his team to 11 championships, while Wilt won only two. But in the end,
Wilt wins my vote because he was a very good defender and perhaps the most
incredible offensive force ever to play the game. Just for example take the
1961-1962 season when Wilt averaged 50.4 points per game - no one has ever
come close to those figures.
中锋：在这位置上的人选有张伯伦、Bill Russell、Jabbar、O'Neal，这真的很难选。
他们四个都有入选的理由。
Jabbar 生涯FG%高达56%，场均25分，6个总冠军。O'Neal在攻防两端都具统治力，
生涯FG%更是达58%，但最终还是必须得在张伯伦及 Russell 间做出选择。
Russell 场均得分只有15分，张伯伦则高达30.1分，两人场均都超过22篮板。
Russell 带领球队拿下11个冠军，张伯伦只有2个冠军。
最终我还是选了张伯伦，因为他是个非凡的防守者及在比赛中无与伦比的攻击力。
举例，1961-62球季，张伯伦场均拿下50.4分，前无古人。
Power forward: I considered four players in making my selection here - Elvin
Hayes, Karl Malone, Moses Malone and Tim Duncan. Again, all had great numbers
and were pretty equal in rebounds and assists, but in the end, it was a
pretty easy choice to go along with my friend Hal and select Tim Duncan. He
won the statistical war by virtue of having already blocked 2,652 shots,
which is almost 900 more than any of the other three. But even more
important, his teams have won four championships. Some he won with the help
of another great big man, David Robinson, and some he won without any
dominant center, and we may well be watching him win his fifth.
大前锋：这位置上有Elvin Hayes, Karl Malone, Moses Malone, Tim Duncan 等人选。
这些人都有着大量的得分+篮板+助攻。但最终我选了 Duncan。
TD 的火锅已经达到2652个，比其他三人都多出大约900个，更重要的是，
Duncan的球队已经得到4个总冠军，现在大家可能会看到他赢下第5个总冠军。
Small forward: This was the cast that had the most great players. Players
such as George Gervin, Billy Cunningham, John Havlicek and Rick Barry didn't
even make the final group. There were four contenders, our very own Charles
Barkley and Erving, Bird and James. Doctor J was the first NBA player to play
above the rim, and he changed the game forever. Bird was the consummate team
player who did everything well. Charles was a fine scorer and an incredible
rebounder considering his 6-4 height. But LeBron was the clear choice here.
Not only has he scored more points by far than any of the other three, but no
one can compete with his rebound and assist total, which he has accomplished
in only 10 seasons! But the thing that distinguishes him the most from anyone
else is his defense. LeBron is without a doubt the most dominant non-center
defensive player in NBA history.
小前锋：我考虑过 George Gervin, Billy Cunningham, John Havlicek 和 Rick Barry
等候选人，但最终都没进入这名单。
最后剩下 Barkley + J博士 + 大鸟 + LBJ 等四人在竞争。
J博士是第一个在篮框上打球的人，改变了比赛的型态。
大鸟是一个完美的团队球员各方面都出色。
Barkley 考虑到他的身高，一个不错的得分好手及篮板怪物。
但最终我选了 LBJ，LBJ 的得分比其他三个人要多，且篮板和助攻没人能与他
抗衡。LBJ 最与众不同的是他的防守，毫无疑问，他是NBA历史上非中锋位置
最具统治力的防守球员。
Shooting guard: There are only three contenders for this category- the great
Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Jerry West. Surprisingly, West stacked up
fairly well statically. He averaged 27 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.7 assists.
Kobe was 25.5, 5.3 and 4.8, respectively. And although Michael scored more
points, 30.1 points per game, West was close in rebounds and surprisingly had
more assists. When you realize that West scored his points without the
benefit of the three-point shot (at which he would have been unbelievable)
his stats are even more impressive. But he won only one championship as
opposed to Jordan's six and Kobe's five. And wasn't anywhere close to Kobe
and Michael as a defender. Statistically, Kobe and Michael are very close and
in some ways it's hard to distinguish, but Michael may have been the best
defending guard in the history of the NBA, andthe best clutch performer so he
wins.
得分后卫：这位置上只有三个人选
