All-time NBA fantasy draft: Who do you take first?

Granted this isn't Blazer-centric... this is a tangent to CJB's Wilt Chamberlain post.

Here's my unoriginal question: If you were the G.M. selecting a team from all past and present NBA players, who would you want to take in the first round?

Here's my logic: Wilt is the greatest basketball player ever based on statistics (obviously)... but he wasn't the best team player. There are plenty of other dominant centers but I'm betting I can still get a perfectly serviceable one in the second or third round like Ewing, Mourning or Walton. I'm drafting my captain in the first round, someone who sets a tone.

Here are the rules:

1. You can choose anyone at any point in their NBA career, but college or European achievements don't apply.

2. First come, first serve. If you want to take a turn, please copy the most recent list and add your pick.

3. Moderators and newbies are all welcome.

I want my team to be fired up at all times. There are a lot of good options but with my #1 draft pick of all time, I'm taking:

  1. Larry Bird. Clutch.
