Players you want back in the NBA

As the title suggests, which player/s would you want back to play again in the NBA and see how they fare with this generation's players?

Let's be creative and not put the HOF's here. I know some may suggest MJ to see a duel between him and Kobe or whoever.

Example: Ruben "The Kobe Stopper" Patterson

how will he defend the "Black Mamba"?

and we begin.

Ron Artest.

In their primes Shawn Kemp and Ron Harper (if only he never got injured).

Len Bias to see see how good he really was.

Wilt in the 90s era to see if all those stats could infact have translated the same way in a not so stiff NBA generation.

Len Bias. Wow. 2nd overall pick by the defending champs.

I said no HOFs... :cry:

then I'll say Magic to see how he'll run the past 3 Laker squads. Or Wilt against Howard.

RICK Fox. Tough defender who was a team player, underrated passer and rebounder (near triple dub game 7 vs kings), and solid 3 point shooter. I'll take him over artest any day of the week.

Bob Cousy, so I can see every half decent PG kick his YMCA ass.

Shawn Kemp to see him and Blake Griffin go at it in the highlight reels. A young Tracy McGrady. I'd like to see Bill Russel play in person. The whole Yao thing is sad so I'll toss his name out there.

I'd like Nick Van Exel back as well.
