10. Bob Cousy

Go ahead and laugh at the 1950s films of the black-sneakered, long-armed,
geeky-looking Cooz dribbling through a mass of defenders in smoke-filled
Boston Garden. He was the NBA's first master of Showtime. Every time somebody
in my generation dribbled behind his back, a coach or father was bound to
say, "Who do you think you are, Cousy?"


9. Allen Iverson

This is not the time to list the Answer's flaws. It's the time to celebrate
the sight of him accelerating that frail frame in the open court and charging
fearlessly into a gang of bigger defenders, all the while in control.


8. George Gervin

A Spurs stars in the 1970s and '80s, Gervin was a scoring machine. No one in
the history of the game had more unconventional pump fakes, finger rolls and
ways to get a ball into the basket than the Iceman.


7. David Thompson

Substance abuse cut short the career of the game's greatest leaper after he
had risen with Denver in the 1970s. But every time Thompson gathered himself
to go to the basket there was the potential for something wonderful to
happen, and often it did.


6. Dominique Wilkins

Nobody got screwed in dunk contests more than the Hawks' sleek forward, who
won two (in 1985 and '90) but probably should've won four. The Human
Highlight Film is absolutely, positively, the game's greatest dunker ... and
not just during All-Star weekend.


5. Elgin Baylor

In an era (1958-72) when the game was played mostly below the rim, the
Lakers' immortal could play above it if he wanted to. But, see, the master of
the head fake and mesmerizing glide to the hoop could play below it, too.
Elegant Elg may be the most underrated player in NBA history.


4. Connie Hawkins

The fact that the Hawk was barred from the league for so many years (he
didn't make his debut with Phoenix until 1969, when he was 27) has made him
more legend than fact. But trust me on this: With his big hands and elastic
body, he was the first to do things perfected by the two gentlemen who are
No. 1 and 2 on this list.


3. Pete Maravich

How many players can you name who almost never did the same thing with the
ball in the open court that they had done on previous forays? Like Cousy, the
Pistol brought an excitement to the game that had nothing to do with dunking
and everything to do with gravity-bound showmanship.


2. Michael Jordan

By the end of his tenure, we were talking about MJ's fadeaway jumper, his
court sense, his strength, his savvy, his smarts, etc. But for the first
decade of his career, beginning in the mid-1980s, the guy was a
thrill-a-minute artist seemingly unbound by normal physical laws, and he's
given us more feet of highlight reel than any player in history.


1. Julius Erving

If you weren't following pro hoops at the time, you simply can't imagine the
excitement generated when Dr. J, the ABA legend, moved from the New York Nets
to the NBA's Philadelphia 76ers before the 1976-77 season. Remember that
games were rarely televised back then, so most of America had only heard
tales of the graceful forward with the big hands and the gravity-defying
artistry. When folks first saw Dr. J, their eyes popped: It seemed as if he
could temporarily suspend himself in air while coasting from one side of the
basket to the other. And thus was born the concept of "hang time."
