Best 12, Next 12, Then Trash 12

Here are 36 all-time great NBA players in alphabetical order -- pick the all-time best 12, then separate out the next best 12, then throw the other 12 on the proverbial Trash Heap.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Ray Allen, Charles Barkley
 
Rick Barry, Elgin Baylor, Larry Bird
 
Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain, Clyde Drexler
 
Tim Duncan, Kevin Durant, Julius Erving
 
Patrick Ewing, Kevin Garnett, John Havlicek
 
LeBron James, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan
 
Karl Malone, Moses Malone, George Mikan
 
Reggie Miller, Steve Nash, Dirk Nowtizki
 
Hakeem Olajuwon, Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Paul
 
Gary Payton. Bob Petit, Scottie Pippen
 
Oscar Robertson, David Robinson, Bill Russell
 
John Stockton, Dwayne Wade. Jerry West.

You are not required to pick by position. You may have 12 centers or 12 guards if you would like. The question is, "Who, in your opinion, are the best 12 NBA/ABA players of all-time and then who are 13-24?" Then you toss the last 12 on the trash heap, regardless of how close you think the vote is between 24 & 25, etc.
I will post my choices in a week.
