Every NBA franchise has a best player ever, though not all best players are created equal. For some franchises, one name is synonymous with the the team. For others, it’s a handful of names vying for the top spot. Some teams’ best player retired decades ago, while others’ are still playing today.
So what makes someone the best player in a franchise’s history? That depends on the team, but it usually means some combination of longevity, team records, and hopefully some winning. Let’s take a look at the best player ever from every NBA franchise.

Another interesting bit about Pippen and Seattle, they tried to trade Shawn Kemp for him during the Bulls second 3-peat. Just another interesting tie-in between those franchises and those two players.

Bill Russell is the most over-rated plyer in NBA history. JUst because his TEAM won a bunch of titles we are supposed to worship this guy who couldn’t carry Wil’s jock and was hopelessly lost on offense.. Larry Bird was the greatest Celtic of all time. hands down.

Alonzo Mourning, Larry Johnson and Baron Davis all played for the Hornets. All three I’d take over Kemba Walker.

Sorry, but Baron Davis was better than Kemba Walker.
