I would also add Pistol in as the most talented basketball player. I would not call him the best player though.
Eta: didn't read the edit, but I will still keep Pistol up there.
Extremely talented, just not really a team player, from what I have heard.

I am by no means a Pistol Pete expert, however I grew up in BR watching him play at LSU. I recall a little bit of his NBA career. To the question of him not being a team player, this is a bit of a stretch. As I recall, he was somewhat alienated by his teammates generally because of his exceptional skills and the attention it brought. Not so much because "he" was not a team player...

Pistol Pete was in a league all his on in the day in which he played. Anyone that does not recognize that simply does not know what they are talking about...
