NBA Releasing top 75 all-time list in October

[wtfyomom]

No way they taking Mikan out, dude is legit the FIRST star Big Man, ever.

Dave DeBusschere had a legit career; 2 rings with the Knicks, 16, 11 career numbers

Dave Cowens lowkey had a slightly better career

I'm thinking guys like Lenny wilkins, bill walton, Earl Monroe are might be coming off

Lowkey, I can see no guys coming off to be honest

(Your list)

1. Tim Duncan
2. Kobe
3. AI
4. KG
5. LeBron
6. Steph Curry
7. Durant
8. Wade
9. Giannis
10. Dirk

This is only Ten, I don't see Many more guys from 1996-2021 being added to the official ALL TIME list.

I think we can come up with the other 15;

Maybe CP3, Manu, Tony P, Paul Pierce, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash (Two Time MVP lock)

T-Mac is hell stretch and Vince, too, though Vince had a 20 year career and the Dunk Contest

Yao, too

Alonzo Morning (Hall of Fame 2014) Maybe

Reggie might sneak in there

Worm, definitely Dwight

That's 25. Who am I missing?

star big man against short cac

at least the NBA isnt like MLB or youd have people claiming Mikan as the GOAT acting like he could take on shaq

 

[Illin Degenerate]

someone will inevitably come off because youre going to have a fair amount of different voters this time around but i dont think more than 5 will come off and im not sure even that many should come off. they were great talents and winners but i wouldnt have manu on there and i dont think id have tony parker either. yao wouldnt make it. i definitely would have reggie and dominique. i dont think were going to see a shaq situation like on the 50 list. the youngest guys i would have on my list are giannis and kawhi. not sure i would have lillard on there though hes worthy.

 

[stepbackj34spud]

Paul Pierce

 

[Noriega]

how many current players will be put on the list?

Lebron
Durant
Curry
Giannis?

Definitely Giannis.

 

[King]

the voters for the list are gonna be a bunch of media cacs

Larry Bird top 5

Will Luka make it?

By golly I wouldn’t be surprised.

He’s deceptively an all-time great as it is

 

[Amare's Right Hook]

1A Lebron
1B Jordan

 

[Mike18jj]

Bob Cousy

Somebody on Twitter said that if Kyrie went back to the 60’s in a time machine, he would be arrested for witchcraft when they see what he can do with a basketball.

50. James Worthy

And though we think they will alter the list a lot they won't. You add Dirk KG Tim Nique Bron Kobe AI CP3 Wade KD Westbrook Steph Dwight Nash Melo Pierce Giannis i'm assuming and i'm sure i'm forgetting a few more. But that still leaves 12 spots to fill and i'm hoping they will get someone else between Adrian Dantley Alex English and Bernard King on the list as well. Now on the og list i'll assume they take Lenny Wilkins Billy Cunningham Nate Archibald Dave Bing off the list and i'm not positive about all these names. And while i thought about guys like Bill Sharman Dolph Schayes and Hal Greer either those type of cats are pioneers of the game or their numbers hold up for the era they played in and i don' think the NBA will want to upset the old school fans to much. But cats like Mikan Cousy Havlicek arent' going off the list i know but cats like Bill Walton and Pistol Pete could be taken off the list and i wouldn't be mad at all.

 

[Reggie]

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.

That's EXACTLY I think they won't alter it but so much.

 

[nieman]

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

I was going through the last 25 years...it was hard AF. Even counting some of the ones that didn't make 50. Nique is already gauranteed a spot. Maybe 5 get axed from the previous list, but there's not enough.

Nique
Kobe
Lebron
Duncan
KG

Wade
AI
Durant
Westbrook
Chris Paul

Nash
Curry
Dirk
Paul Pierce
Ray Allen

Kidd
Dwight
Deke
Melo
Harden

Giannis
GP

Maybes:
CWebb
Reggie
Tmac
Vince
Mully
Grant Hill

That's a struggle list. Billy Cunningham more than likely comes off, I doubt Bill Walton does, but Pearl & Tiny may. That's only 3 spots. You can get to 22 counting Giannis, but then it gets tricky. 95% of that 50 are solidified.

My last 3 probably goes Reggie, Webber & Vince

 

[Absolut da poet ®]

Don’t think you can justify taking off Mikan. Arizin either for that matter.

I'm not sure you can justify taking any of them off

But if I had to those would be the ones

Somebody on Twitter said that if Kyrie went back to the 60’s in a time machine, he would be arrested for witchcraft when they see what he can do with a basketball.

Not to ruin your fun but if You were to send back the best ball handlers right now to the 50s/60s , they'd be called for carrying/travel/etc like every possession

They'd look awkward as fukk trying to dribble with the rules put in place at the time.

 

[King Poetic]

Please removed Scottie Pippen just for 10 years of fukkery on espn and Scottie coming at everyone

 

[BigE214]

Refs would be like I don't know what he's doing but it's definitely illegal
