Kobe will be in the Top 5 as well

Who falls out of the top 10

They don't rank them, they just list them. Slam ranked the Top 75 though

Well there hasn't been 25 all-time greats since '97. I could be wrong

 

[mastermind]

how many current players will be put on the list?

Lebron
Durant
Curry
Giannis?

Probably just the first three and maybe Harden and Kawhi.

edit: forgot CP3 as a definite

 

[ABlackMan]

Does Carmelo make this list

 

[MJ Truth]

The fukkery of taking someone OFF of the original 50 though lol. They really should just add 25, if just for political reasons. And my goodness if one of the 50 taken off is already passed away.

Probably just the first three and maybe Harden and Kawhi.

I actually think it’s more likely they put Chris Paul on the list than Harden or Kawhi. Not saying I personally think that’s justified or not.

 

[MJ Truth]

Will Luka make it?

Luka gonna be the Shaq pick lol.

Or more likely Giannis will be. But he actually won a title so it’s a little different.

Chris Paul makes it. I edited my post after I realized I missed that.

There’s been at least 25 guys who COULD be on a top 50/75 list since the OG list came out, based on how the NBA media rates players.

Dominique (OG snub)
Jason Kidd
Gary Payton
Alonzo Mourning
Allen Iverson
Kevin Garnett
Grant Hill
Dikembe Mutumbo
Stephen Curry
LeBron James
Kevin Durant
Tim Duncan
Paul pierce
Reggie Miller
Ray Allen
Tracy McGrady
Dwyane Wade
Carmelo Anthony
Dirk Nowitzki
Vince Carter
Steve Nash
Kobe Bryant
Chris Paul
Dwight Howard
Ben Wallace
Chris Webber
James Harden
Tony Parker
Pau Gasol
Manu Ginobili
Yao Ming
Amare Stoudemire
Russell Westbrook

Joe Dumars and Rodman were eligible for the first one but if you’re adding 25 more you could put them in there. Same with Adrian Dantley.

Some notable players (who made multiple All-NBA teams and/or are in the Hall of Fame) who were in the middle of their careers, just beginning their careers, or not in the NBA yet when the original 50 first dropped:

Gary Payton, Jason Kidd, Grant Hill, Reggie Miller, Dikembe Mutombo, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, Chris Webber, Tim Duncan, Allen Iverson, Alonzo Mourning, Dirk Nowitzki, Ray Allen, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Ben Wallace, Steve Nash, Paul Pierce, Yao Ming, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Bosh, Dwight Howard, Amare Stoudemire, Chris Paul, Pau Gasol, Chauncey Billups, Kevin Durant, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker, Lamarcus Aldridge, Blake Griffin, Steph Curry, Damian Lillard, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Paul George, Kevin Love, Kyrie Irving, Kawhi Leonard, Klay Thompson, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Draymond Green, Rudy Gobert, Joel Embiid, Nikola Jokic.

That's 48 players. Obviously a guy like Kevin Love isn't going to make it, but there's a lot of names there that make you go "Do we push this guy out from the old list because this newer guy was better? " Like Jokic just won the MVP and is already regarded as one of, if not, the best passing big men ever. He's six seasons into his career which I think is enough time to build a case if it's strong.
