Julius Erving in a recent interview
"I have five guys who are untouchable — Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Elgin Baylor. That's my all-time best team. Everybody else has to be on the second or third teams, and I made this decision when I was 15 years old. I'm sticking with it now all these years later. There is no order. I think West and Robertson would be in the backcourt. Elgin Baylor would be in the frontcourt with Wilt and Bill Russell.
The next group of guys would be Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Michael Jordan, Ervin 'Magic' Johnson, probably Karl Malone. I always argue with my son where Tim Duncan belongs, and he's like, 'He belongs ahead of Karl Malone for sure.' I'm taking Karl Malone and that last position... I like Tiny Archibald."
