I know its a bit late, but I want to tell you fans if you haven't heard already. Shaq declared that Julius Erving was the best player in the NBA. This surprised me as many people say Jordan, Bird, Wilt, or James. But Erving? I don't know what Shaq was thinking. Then again, this is a free country. Everybody has their own opinions. There is a multiplicity of viewpoints on the discussion, and tell me in the comments who you think is the best player in the NBA.
