  The basketball the game has gave some of the most memorable players in sports. Some players are great because they over come barriers and  some terrible illnesses but they all have on major thing in common there great and they all loved the game.

 The first honorable player that I'll mention is the most revolutionary player to ever play on a hard wood court. His name was Wilt "the stilt" Chaimberlain  he was a 7''1 center from Philly . He was  the man who helped form today's style the game is played. He was an outstanding and imp arable force on the offensive end he averaged numbers players today only dream about 30 points per game a and 22 rebounds per game. He was Mr.100 that night of 1963 were he had an incredible performance. One hundred points in a game that's like a a soccer player havening a triple hat trick a tennis player winning three sets on aces it was a one of a kind performance no one could ever forget. He was also one of the first African American pioneers in the NBA.

Our second greatest players of all time was the sharp shooting Larry Bird. The small forward from Boston was a the greatest shooter the game the ever seen he was a great player in  the clutch. He was a Player that many players tried to fallow but failed because his great and memorable performance.

Out third player that is very memorable is Ervin " Magic" Johnson  the greatest passer the game has ever known .  He had a record high 12 assist per game and his perspective on the court was amazing. But sadly his career ended early due to a  terrible blood transfusion and was diagnosed with HIV AIDS.  He over came this barrier and came back to the NBA but not on the floor but on the side line as a coach.

The last but defiantly not least player that I would like to mention as one of the greatest players of all times his "airness" Micheal Jordan the man with 6 championship rings  and moments that made  the NBA great.  He was a great leader on the court and a great scorer passer and defensive player. He was the greatest player to play the game.
