Dominique Wilkins
Jason Kidd
Gary Payton
LeBron James
Allen Iverson
Kobe Bryant
Tim Duncan
Dwyane Wade
Paul Pierce
Joe Dumars
Steve Nash
Bob McAdoo
Connie Hawkins
Kevin Garnett
Ray Allen
Kevin Durant
Dennis Rodman
Adrian Dantley
Dirk Nowitzi
Reggie Miller

I think people forget/don't realize you can just add players who didn't make the original top 50. Also, I feel like there's somebody obvious that I'm missing here but maybe not.

I didn't realize Dumars didnt make it.

I think we need to make a spinoff keep it at 50 and figure out who should come off because people like Bill Walton shouldn't make it unless people like Grant Hill or Yao cant be on it.

Shaq was named one of 50 greatest in like his 5th season

The moment he ripped down the backboard, his spot was secure unless he never won a title or got cut down by injury. I don't think we will ever see another Shaq.

Bill Walton was better than, and accomplished more than, Yao or Grant Hill though.

Isiah Thomas is the only player on the 50 list who never played with another player on that list.

Yeah barely he was only at a all star level for like 4 years I realize he got a ring and mvp but Hill had about 7 all star seasons and probably could have been mvp twice especially in 2000.

Rodman and Joe should be on that list imho.

Good list but think Vince is more deserving the Ray, Reggie and Joe Dumars. Chris Call deserves a spot too and maybe even Dwight

I put a premium on winning, and that's how all of those cats ended up in front of Vince. Paul is a great player but he's never played in an "important" game in his whole career.
