Nice list. I can agree with that. We all know Jordan is #1, and the rest can be shuffled around and nobody can really complain.

And I agree about the ring argument and what Dalsanto said. A ring is a team effort and a reflection of how good your team was. Not winning a ring doesn't take anything away from guys like Malone, Barkley etc.

And speaking of rings and team efforts, people also forget that Jordan played on veteran teams with an excellent supporting cast and even more importantly, a great coaching staff. The Bulls without Jordan managed to make it to the Eastern Finals (when he was playing baseball) and almost won that series...so it's not like they weren't a good team without him. Just wanted to throw that out there.
