Up to that point in 1992, Stockton and Malone had never won a Western Conference
championship, let alone an NBA championship. Stockton was chosen for reasons other than choosing the best point guard. There were several others better.

Anybody voting for Chris Mullin doesn't know that era of basketball.

Nor remember he was the second or third best performer

Wow, took a quick look at his stats. He dominated in the early 90s. (link)

So dumb they put laettner on the team and not Shaq

I agree. Shaq could have actually played at a high enough level to matter.

Laettner really did earn it though based on his college career. Looking back

I would have picked Shaq and I hated Laettner at the time, but it was hard to

Why was Bird on the team, then?

No it’s not. The situations are similar. Laettner was rewarded

people forget just how dominant Laettner was in 92. he did everything; Wooden award, NCAA tourney champ & MVP, etc.

Probably not popular, but Magic had retired due to HIV and knee problems.

Bird and Magic were both well past their primes at this point

Easy answer here is Jordan. It was an either or situation here. So Thomas means

I believe it wasn't just Thomas or Jordan. It was Thomas or Jordan AND Magic AND Bird AND Malone AND Barkley.

Drexler was the last selection. In the lens of 1992, he probably gets left off.

Bird and Magic were both WAY past their primes. Magic was literally retired.

Magic may have been retired, but he was still a top five player at the time.

I think they got it right. Thomas didnt deserve to be on the team.

The uproar is because the media doesn't look to exclude anyone in the argument.

Those voting Stockton are obviously trolling knowing the make up of the board

Bird - it was a token gesture. His back was wrecked by then.
