Plus, AC Green played for about 8 years at Oregon State before going pro!

Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.

I'm going to make two old-school nominations:

Rebounding: Jerry Lucas. Loved rebounding. He used to run down rebounds from of end-of-quarter shots and then remind the scorekeeper that it counted in the scorebook. Still in the top 15 rebounders of all time, barely ahead of Shaq.

Stamina: Ron Boone. His stamina was so legendary, his nickname was "The Legend." Played over 1,000 straight games in the ABA and NBA and was renowned for always being in game shape. It was his longevity record that A.C. Green broke.

But not the other longevity record.

Wilt must be the leader in stamina. In 61-62 he averaged 48.5 MPG

you haven't read the whole thread then yet.

Some thing I must say are as follows

Handling: Pete Maravich, Steve Nash, & Bob Cousy (Houdini of the Hardwood)

Passing: Legendary status goes to Pete Maravich, John Stockton, Steve Nash, Scott Skiles. High ranking but not legendary goes to Kidd, Billups, CP3 and a few others.

Rebounding: Wilt, Rodman, & Russell would all be legendary. Ben Wallace, Shaq, Howard, and a few others would be in the Colossal range.

Jump Range: Lebron would probably be around stupendous but not legendary, I'd say Larry Bird, Tim Hardaway, & Craig Hodges. Guys like Jason Kapono, Kyle Korver, & Allan Houston would probably land in the phenomenal category.

Driving: Jordan, Lebron, Dominique Wilkins, Clyde Drexler are must have's at legendary.

Free Throws: What about the all-time leader in FT's made Karl Malone, only a 74.71% but the guy made 9,787 (maybe not legendary but still pretty high) Nash, Billups, Dumars, Price those guys I can see at legendary.

If you ask for all-around game I would say Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, MJ, Wilt, Oscar Robertson, Magic and a few others.
