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

[Jplaya2023]

I would put Parker and Vince Carter over Paul Pierce and Kawhi and maybe Ray Allen

Nikka whet? Parker and Vince?

Over Truth?

Vince you can argue but his injuries and lack of killer will lowers him. Parker? Thats downright disrespectful

 

[Tunez]

I dont see Kidd

 

[MJ Truth]

Not buying Harden unless he’s replacing someone from the 50s. McGrady better make it

How can you say Harden shouldn’t make it but that McGrady should?

 

[MJ Truth]

Should Chris Webber and Reggie Miller be on that 75th list? Both are in the HOF..

And a few years ago when the NBA had a panel on talking about the next 10-15 greatest players both were on the list.

Both were on the list because both were sitting there in person.

 

[MJ Truth]

Bill Sharman?

He was dominant in his time.

 

[stepbackj34spud]

Would be tragic

On another note, I wonder if they do the team jackets like they did in 97 will KG & Ray rep the Celtics

Paul Pierce has more career points than both. Lead the big 3 in scoring every year but snubbed for Ray Allen. What a scene.

KG will definitely rep the Celtics
Ray Allen probably Milwaukee

Im completely out of touch with nba fans.. watching Carmelo get an ovation last night im like wtf.. Carmelo never won ANYTHING.

10x all-star and played in New York. What's not to get?

 

[Mandizi]

My top 4 favorite players ever (MJ, Pip, The Big O, KG) all made it. I'm good.

Everybody is 10x all star, you fool.
And playing in ny means nothing.

You said you don't understand why people like him

 

[Starboy52]

giannis on the list at age 26

Breh’s accolades are astonishing, and he still has another 10-15 years if he stays healthy

 

[nieman]

Nique is a lock. He was left off of 50, and that didn't sit right with a lot of folk, so there are only 15 slots left.

Kidd
GP
Ray
Paul Pierce
Lebron
Wade
Kobe
Steph
Dwight
Russ
Those 10 are locks

It's the last 5
Melo is making it
Reggie
McAdoo

Last 2 spots are between
Deke
Webber
Vince
Bernard King
Tmac
Grant Hill
Kawhi is possible but I think they save him for 100
AD
Dame
Mullin

 

[Francium]

Wes Unseld (#84)

Hal Greer (#102)

[FooFighters]

They announced the 50 list at the beginning of the 96 season and then had them meet up at the allstar game
