I saw a bunch of people saying how no one comes close to his greatness and I disagree. So I decided to start a bracket on the best NBA player of all time. Please comment and tell me who should and should not advance and I will take your thoughts into account. By the way, there is no seeding in this bracket, I kinda just threw people on there. UPDATE: Matchup changes on left side; Bird vs Kidd, Johnson vs Erving & James vs Iverson.
