The best player I ever saw live was Charles Barkley, he was something else. And I saw Magic Johnson, Robinson, Pippen, etc. Barkley was the most dominant player I ever saw live. And my second favorite. My favorite player would have to be Hakeem Olajuwon. When you cross soccer foot skills (heel pivot) with a monster wingspan you get the best center of the modern era. He was humble yet dominant. Only lacked FT accuracy. Everything else in his game was superb!
