All-Time NBA Roster

|
Since I noticed that the All-Time list on this site doesn't have a lot to offer, I decided to start a series of All-Time teams for fun. Obviously this is just my opinion, and comments about who you would rather have are appreciated.
Starters
PG "Magic" Johnson - Revolutionized the point guard position. His combination of size and creativity stands alone.
SG Michael Jordan - The best player of all-time.
SF Larry Bird - The "Legend" did it all and was at his best in crunch time.
PF Bill Russell - I know he was a center, but even at his size he would still lead the league in rebounding today.
C Shaquille O'Neal - While MJ is the best player ever, Shaq is the most dominant player ever and did it against other 7-footers. That's why he gets the nod over Wilt.
Bench
PG Oscar Robertson - one of the most versatile players in history, if you can average a triple-double you're on my team.
SG Kobe Bryant - Can do things with the basketball that not even Jordan could do. Not a favorite of mine, but too great to leave off the list.
SF Jerry West - When your nickname is Mr. Clutch and the NBA logo is an outline of you, greatness is more than obvious.
PF Tim Duncan - The prototypical power forward with plenty of rings on his fingers.
C Wilt Chamberlain - Way ahead of his time with ridiculous numbers that'll never be matched.
C Kareem Abdul-Jabbar - The master of the most indefensible shot ever, his longevity makes the cut.
PG Isiah Thomas - Since I can't stand him, it was tough to add him over Stockton, Cousy, and others. But he was the complete package at the point.
Coach Red Auerbach - a little Celtics bias gets him the nod over Phil Jackson
