Great list Yappi.

Tough not to put Wilt on there or Big O but your list is darn good.
I added a couple more that should be enough of a cushion to get the top 10. I'll fill in their data later.

So now people can vote up and down to help organize the top 10. You can click on "Sort by votes" to see the current rankings.
 
Jordan
Kareem
Chamberlain
LeBron
Shaq
Olajuwon
Ducan
Kobe
Bird
Magic

Really difficult not to pick ten, but what order. The different eras make a huge difference. Oddly, Kareem gets overlooked because he played in a time when the NBA was center dominated, he also played for long, long time. We don't value the old centers like we should have in today's iso world. Before the 90's, if you didn't have a dominant center, you didn't have a chance to win.
 
C - Kareem
PF- Duncan
SF - Bird
SG - Jordan
PG - Magic

Bench:
Center - Chamberlain
Forwards - McHale, Dr. J
Guards - West, Pistol Pete

Admittedly skewed towards some of my favorite players.
