In honor of the NBA’s 75th Anniversary season, the NBA put together a list of its top 75 players in the league’s history, to date. After the list was published, there were many current players and fans who voiced their opinions about certain players being left off of the list. With anything, there is going to be a difference of opinion when it comes to a “the bests” list. So instead of criticizing the NBA’s list, I created my own. I’m eager to hear some of your opinions about the list below which includes some of the players snubbed by the NBA. Let me know in the comments, and make a good case, about who should stay and who should go.
