Feel free to post your top 10 list in the comments.
I made this in a little over a week using Sony Vegas Movie Studio, even though it should've only taken a couple days. Ran into every conceivable problem along the way-blue screen of death on my XP, red screen of death on Movie Studio, computer constantly freezing, etc. Sony Vegas is a horrible program. And it doesn't help that my laptop is dying.
*Whenever they were second best, the only player better than them on the team was always another player from this list, with the exception of Shaq in 2006 (Dwyane Wade)
**This is probably too low. I considered finding a way to include him in the top ten, by either removing Kobe or Shaq. Elgin Baylor is the most underrated player ever and the best player to never win a championship.
