NBA 75th Anniversary Team | all 76 named (there was a tie)

[Rekkapryde]

the problem with these lists is the lack of consistency/understanding of how it’s determined. End of the day AD is clearly a better player than Dwight and has a championship on his resume, so he checks the eye test better player box & is close on accolades depending on how heavily you weigh winning a title

AD is the better talent, but Dwight's resume was 100% better than AD. Esp prior to Bron.

Kyrie is way more skilled than Vince.

I agree I hate Kyrie but I already argued for him in a previous post

 

[OneTimeforTheMind]

I think they are going off the potentiak that Dame and AD will be top 50 NBA's players when they retire

And to add on, another reason the OGs don't look at him as great is that the bigs that came in after him, did the same dominant ish he was supposed to do - Cousins, KAT, Embiid, Jokic, Giannis, AD. His prime is closer to Chief, and Chief did what Dwight did for longer, and against other Cs...or Zo, that had a similar peak at only a handful of years.

And y'all need to stop the OG disrespect. Y'all really gonna hate on guys like Cousy, Arizin, Schayes, Mikan etc....They were clearly heads above the average player, and even handcuffed still have better numbers than a lot of your favorite modern players.

I love Boogie & KAT but what have they done in their careers besides put up huge numbers on trash teams? AD made the playoffs twice in 7 years as the man in New Orleans and won one playoff series. Dwight’s peak was MVP runner up, DPOY and best player on a Finals team. Outside of Giannis, none of those you guys you named have matched or supplanted that.

The “OGs” don’t like Dwight because of how he carried himself, his reputation was that of someone who was goofy and immature, and that was magnified with how he left Orlando and him clashing with Kobe.

Yes brehs, Russ is better than LeBron.

That wasn't the point you idiot. The point was showing how hard it was to accomplish..

5 seasons he either won scoring champ or assist champ.
most players never achieve either once..

They put Harden on this list

All he did was popcorn and do crazy dumb shyt to get calls. That’s how he got his points

Harden’s career is empty calories, fluff and popcorn

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Damn they shytted on Chris Webber

Take bum ass Russ off and put either Webber or STAT

These lists are dumb

 

[ExodusNirvana]

Kyrie
Tony Parker
Manu
Klay

I feel like those four should have been on the list but...ehhh I dunno

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Even Anthony Davis

Take him off and put C Webb

 

[Joe Sixpack]

If I’m these players I’m feeling some kind of way about this list:

Kyrie Irving
Tony Parker
Manu Ginobili
Chauncey Billups
Dwight Howard
Vince Carter - Vince should be in off of longevity, cultural impact and dunk competition/dunks alone. But I see the argument for also leaving him off

Will edit this as I think of more people who saw this list and went

Chauncey can’t be on this shyt man cmon

nikkas be taking one moment and saying bu bu bu he’s one of the greatest ever

Chauncey was bouncing around like crazy before he got to Larry Brown nikka played on like 17 teams

I don’t disagree, but that list is more so nikkas who I think would feel like they should be on it. Chauncey has a case to be made

I’m gonna add Klay to it too, who will most definitely be on the next list.
