Million Dollar Ballers, a new clothing brand from Portland, Oregon, is launching their  “Legends Collection” this week. The T-shirt collection pays tribute to basketball legends that laid the groundwork for today’s stars. Co-owner Greg Beers explains: “With the season in doubt, it felt like a good time to honor some of the game’s founding fathers.”

Fortunately for us—and, more importantly, for you—we were given the opportunity to give away five of the tees right here. So here’s how the contest will work. In the comment section, answer the question below, and you’ll be entered. We’ll choose our five favorite answers and contact the winners (be sure to leave a correct email address when you comment), and those selected will get a dope shirt. You have until next Monday morning, November 21, 2011. Easy enough, right?

Here it is:

    Larry Bird:Gives white guys hope

  • Aidan

    larry bird because he proves that us white guys can ball

  • Dominique Rval

    While all are equally significant in making the game what it is today, the one we refer to as “Dr. J”, stands out as my favorite. Simply put, he gave the game a sense of “soul” and “swag” during a time when the game appeared all too fundamental. Rocking a thick ‘fro with long striped socks, coupled with his ridiculously athletic game, his oncourt look and game oozed a “silky smooth and sexy” vibe to it,
    Finishing acrobatic lay ins and thunderous jams with style and gravity defying hangtime, it was like witnessing “love making in motion” whenever he flew for a finish. His ridiculous “one handed windmill layin” in congestion against the Lakers stands out as my personal favorite of him in flight. The way hanged in the air for so long, i literally thought the world had gone into slow motion!!! In all, truly a sight to behold whenever he set foot on the court.

    larry bird could shoot lights out any time any day but really what didnt he have? Court vision of course not,good surrounding players no he kevin mchale bill russel.Really they match up fairly close but one of of the things bird didnt have that magic had was a championship.And magic played better team basketball.

  • Edmund

    Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, because he K-REEMED everyone else on the court!

  • Geek

    MAGIC!

    who can deny that smile???

    :-D

  • Paul

    The Big O. I mean, he averaged a triple-double in a SEASON… This is the perfect example of the all around guy. What is more valuable to a team than a guy that does everything ? I think Robertson is often underrated for what he’ve done in his career. He was just perfect.

  • Kenny Robinson

    Kareem is my favorite. Hands down.Kareem played the game with such grace and style that it was silly. He was a 7’2″ post with excellent passing skills. And the best part, he was the ultimate teammate. He could have been a bigger force in college then what he was, but he bought into what coach Wooden was teaching. He reduced his talents in order to make the team better. Same in the pros. He knew when to elevate or reduce his game in order to help the Bucks or Lakers, win a game. To me, Kareem has been my all-time favorite player since I was a little kid in the 70s.

    Larry Bird. I wasn’t around to ever get to watch him play, but thank god for Internet because I now have seen him play in some of his best and worst games. My dad used to tell me about Larry when I was little and he has always been my dad’s favorite player. I love the way he wasn’t conceited and showed class. True basketball players play that way and as I’m growing up I’ve realized that showing class is just as important as being a great player. Larry could hit the outside J so smoothe and you could tell he probably shot that everyday over and over. This guy will always be a legend but not only because he could ball, but because he had class, and that is why he is my favorite.

    Larry Bird. He showed everyone that everything could be achieved through hard work and dedication. He also showed his generation and ours today that hustle is everything. Oh yeah, that swag, that brilliant swag he possessed was just unbelievable. “As far as playing, I didn’t care who guarded me – red, yellow, black. I just didn’t want a white guy guarding me, because it’s disrespect to my game.” – Larry Bird. The quote pretty much summarizes a man who knew he was better. He had that ‘you can try your hardest, but if I try mine, it wouldn’t even be a competition’ kinda attitude. Damn it. I wish this man played today. I could see him Hitting a 3 in LeBron’s face just to taunt him afterwards.

    I would have to say Dr. J he won championships with the Lakers and Philly. The dunk contests, Mvps, and the scoring titles which Micheal Jordan passed. He was total demonation in his era . The converse shoes and the afro is a signature look that’s in totally far out and the best center of the NBA.

  • jack boutchard

    how the hell are you supposed to pick from these legends all in there own ways superstars i don’t know if could pick but i’d have to say DR J was so exciting to watch and was apart of the ”DREAM TEAM” that ruled the world

  • Paul Kaspick

    Dr.J for sure. His combination of power, grace, and style left more than just a mark on basketball, it left an entirely different game. Nobody who touched a basketball after him did so in the same way.

  • Dale Schulz

    Larry Bird because he was one of those players that, when he played he made everyone around him better. He was a such hard working and determined player and it definitely payed of for him and his team.

  • Dylan Cassels

    Gotta go with good ole Larry Legend for being the best white player of all time. Go LARRY!!

  • magic

    Magic Johnson cause his a strong person he lead his team to a championship game even when he was going thought problem with his HIV

  • kevin

    Magic Jonhson. He is the 2nd greatest player of all time (I dont care what anyone says) and he revolutionized the PG position in the Golden era of Hoops. Nuff said.

  • JTray

    im not a fan of the lakers but, Magic Johnson probably he is the second best NBA player of all time
