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

[nieman]

Hell no. Ring less, no MVP,DPOY. Combined, Reggie & Chris have 10 all star appearances

A guy like Paul Pierce has 10 solo

Reggie & CWebb are also from different eras. Webber put up 20, 10 & 5 and was not making All-Star teams. He should've been an All-Star in '95 & '98 and at least made '98 3rd All-NBA team. And there wasn't even a 3rd All-NBA team until like '90...and now they really should go back to 2. but Chauncey Billups has as many All-Star appearacnes as those 2, and the same number of All-NBA's as Reggie.

They voters aren't worried about rings as much as y'all. They voted on who gets busy....at least that how it was for the 50. They also don't care about the MVPs and All-Stars. They used to go hand and hand, but they're not contingent upon one another. You had to be a special player.

More than likely, Dwight gets in, but none of the OGs think he got busy like they did....and that's the offensive, and the defensive players. Manu nor Tony Parker have the numbers. They'll put a lot of OGs in before them. Kawhi doesn't have the numbers either...not yet.

vince is overrated
pierce is underrated
kidd is being underrated
dwight is being underrated

kawhi is being underrated
cwebb is being overrated
reggie is being overrated

dude said cwebb got busy but aint nobody really afraid of cwebb no matter how much he tells you that
he's like Ghill, a dude who could easily have been rated extremely well but it didnt pan out completely
both dudes "get busy" but nobody really feels any pressure with them around

no diss either I love them dudes... its not bad to be right on the outside, especially seeing as they didnt have full healthy careers

 

[Mars]

Nash played all them years with Dirk/Amare and never made it to the finals....Kidd never played with a player the caliber of Dirk/Amare during his prime but still lead the Nets to 2 finals appearances (1x w/Collins as his starting center) and when he did play with Dirk later in his career, he won a championship........Yeah, yeah, I know...Kidd played in the weak east...but still, Nash had a ton of talent on those Mavs/Suns teams. He should've made the finals at least 1 time.

All of those who played when Webber was around talk about how great he was. They may not have feared him, but they knew he was going to work. By comparison, no one feared KG either...which is why he didn't do that barkin ish at other top dogs. Shaq, Barkley/Malone and their crop, c/o '93-'96, all mention Webber being a beast. Those are the facts. As for Reggie, the most anyone says about him is his ability to consistently make tough shots while carrying the offensive load for his team. He's only praised because of that, and they don't say anything beyond that.

Kidd is only underrated by young people. He's a Top 5 PG. Paul Pierce is rated where he should be. Kawhi isn't being underrated. He has essentially 4 great years and 6 role-player to good.

As for Dwight, it's his elders that don't think he was at least up to their level. Not a single one of them. He's in based on how the media viewed him and will vote, but name any big from the past that has given him props? By comparison, they love Embiid and Giannis, even if they feel they take too many Js at times. Nash is the other they like but don't love. They definitely feel like he didn't deserve an MVP, let alone 2.

IMO Vince and Tmac are underrated, mostly by this young generation. The only knock on Vince real time, was that he was soft. Oak once said if you gave him a good elbow, he was shooting Js rest of the game. Hell, he said that as his teammate. Cyber-Toine, KJ & Matrix are underrated as well....Mullin, KJ & Matrix criminally, while they aren't Top 75, they should be viewed higher. Mullin is borderline Top 75. He'll more than likely make Top 100, if no this lst.

How are current players on this? Let them retire, accomplish some records or championships and then make another alumini league list.

So you really didn't like the 50 list back in 1996

 

[stepbackj34spud]

Why are you always so angry? either relax or log the fukk off muufukka.

Paul Pierce is accomplished but he’s simply not as beloved as some of his contemporaries from the same era that may be less accomplished. Fair or not, that matters especially when it comes to a voting system. DEAL WITH IT. You in this thread crying like a scorned bittch.

nikka your mother is a scorned bytch. Who the fukk are you talking to? Sensitive as nikka calling me angry because you cant handle the tone of my posts? Pull your panties up.
This bytch nikka probably a Ray Allen fan.

 

[stepbackj34spud]

This my problem I have with the voting system… this cac who had a vote says 4 names that should be automatic for today is Wade, Ray Allen, Reggie Miller and Klaw.

Im trying to figure out what criteria do these people use to decide who should get in? “One of the greatest shooters ever” should mean nothing if you arent Steph Curry.

Reggie Miller was only a 5x all star and 2x all nba
Ray Allen was only a 7x all star but was an injury replacement 3x. Only 2x all nba.

I’d put somebody like Dwight Howard and Dame over both these guys.

 

[BK The Great]

So you really didn't like the 50 list back in 1996

I did. But there’s plenty more players who never won championships but have standing records that might not be broken today.

 

[Po pimp]

I think there are 9 locks. The last 7 spots will be a blood bath. I don't see how Dominique doesn't get in unless someone like McGrady jumps him.

Locks
Lebron
Wade
Kobe
Steph Curry
Russell Westbrook
Jason Kidd
Ray Allen
Paul Pierce
Kawhi Leonard

Not sure
Ginobili
Carmelo
Dwight
Dominique
Pau Gasol
Dame Lilliard
Anthony Davis
Tony Parker
Tracy Mcgrady
Chris Webber
Vince Carter

What about Gary Payton?

How old are you?

 

[Optimus Prime]

Gary was in my Not Sure category but I forgot to add him

 

[MJ Truth]

Why would Kidd be a lock over Dwight?

You can’t be serious.

Or perhaps you are very young?

 

[inndaskKy]

You can’t be serious.

Or perhaps you are very young?

What you got against Dwight breh?

 

[MJ Truth]

What you got against Dwight breh?

Nothing to do with Dwight, he's great, and he's definitely top 75 to me.

But he ain't Jason Kidd.
