Russell, with zero hesitation.  Other guys were great, but I bet Russell would have won DPOY 13 straight years if the award existed back then.

Yupp.

I think Elvin Hayes should be on the list over Ron-Ron.

Russell.

However, I would have loved to see how he played against players from this era, with the added size, speed as well as team scouting, training, media intensity, etc.

i know he was a laker but i would have to say Michael Cooper is my pick. All around amazing defender. Without a doubt he could shut down anyone he looked at in the perimeter.

I voted KG.

But shouldn't Kareem at least be on this list?

Especially if Hakeem, Dikembe and Wilt are on it?

I voted for Russell, but I wouldn't mind seeing a modern player or two on there (aside from KG).
