It's exhausting but I guess we deserve what we get for joining in. I'm just surprised I haven't seen "Kareem isn't a top 75 player" yet - - maybe there are even limits to trolling. Pfft... he played with Magic and Worthy, no wonder he looked good! He's already made that argument in another thread.

So, there was no rule to not remove someone who was on the Top 50 (Wilbon was going to take 2 off) but the word went around that they shouldn't.
Totally forgot Bob Lanier. He should be there. Wilbon voted for him, Pau and Klay.

lol. DJ was a Finals MVP before he even came to Boston. DJ has more rings, more all-star appearances, more all-defensive teams. Good try, though.
DJ got to play with Danny, McHale, The Chief and Lord Larry
And Mo STILL has around 1,500 more career assists than that freckled doofus......
DJ was in two finals with Sikma, Williams, Silas, JJ and Freddie Brown.

Was Bob Lanier better than other 5s who didn't make the cut - Like - Dwight Yao 'Zo Smits Sabonis Jo-Jo Lambeer Sikma

I thought The Rainman deserved some consideration
Also Detlef Schrempf - was there really that much of a difference between him and Larry - not saying he was better than Bird all around - but I'll take Detlef in a 3 point shooting contest any day of the week

I was looking at the 2 lists in the first post and did not see Payton. I would like to see Dennis Johnson and possibly Jack Sikma or Lenny Wilkens. Spencer Haywood would be a long shot as would Kemp, Gus Williams or Schremph.

Might as well have included Christian Laettner and Ralph Sampson

i always thought Allan Houston should have gotten a little more respect nobody has mentioned - Rasheed Wallace Juwan Howard Boogie Cousins
Jerry Stackhouse either Think I'm the only one who mentioned C-Webb

He was a blip in the NBA. You're just throwing out names you remember.

I haven't seen anyone else here mention Blake Griffin or Yao Ming...... The one recent name who I saw mentioned elsewhere only by one person & I thought wow, gone & forgotten already...? Pau Gasol You want me to name someone ahead of Dame's resume? Having said that, Dame is a superstar... this guy maybe had superstar series & moments... like Parker & Ginobili

Also - Michael Jordan derailed Stack's career when they were with the Wizards
When the team should have been centered on Stack - in came MJ with his giant ego making everything about him

I know, which is why you don't know anything about basketball. A two time all star who accomplished nothing is not good enough to be a top 75 player.
