1. Fo', fo' and fo'!

Happy Birthday Moses! I believe he played his last year with the Spurs. :-)

I remember him with the Utah Stars of the ABA, he was one bad Ma'afala.

3. WHAT?!?!? Puhleeeeeeease

Ridiculous

4. He's not

Kareem, Wilt, Bill Russell, Shaq, and George Mikken (sp?) are five CENTERS who were/are better. I'd throw Tim Duncan in there as well. Not to mention the dozens of guards and forwards who were/are. And that's just off the top of my head!

5. Shaq? Duncan?

I don't think so at least not yet.

Moses could play the 3,4,and 5 even at *Cough* 6'10"

I know it is an opinion but Moses was always one of the best in my eyes and I was by no means a Sixers fan.

9. Easy

Shaq and Duncan. Especially Shaq. But we are both entitled to our opinion! He was great, I admit.
