The list is fine but Bill Russell has to go first. He was a winner. That counts for me. Chamberlain was probably more skilled as was Jabbar but Bill Russell won all of those championships.

..... Absolutely agree. Chamberlain had all the stratospheric scoring stats and press coverage, but the basic idea behind basketball is to WIN THE GAME. Russell ultimately had to rent an entire vault to store all his championship rings - 11 titles in 13 seasons. On that basis you MUST go with Russell as No. 1.
