NBA's Top 75 players of all time

[Juggity]

It's just a bunch of names of guys who were on all-star teams. Very few winners on there. What's strange is that I saw LeBron listed multiple times... and I only saw Carmelo listed once. What the is different between Melo and Lebron? Neither one can lead a team; neither one has won . If we're just listing guys who put up points as the #1 option on their team then we could add names to that list for days.

Well, I'd say the difference is that Lebron led his team to the finals twice. Carmelo's never been past WCF. True, neither's won the ultimate prize, but that will probably change in the near future.

And what... Carmelo would win too if you replaced him with Lebron on Miami... not saying he's as good. You could aslo say the West was way more compe ive than the East at the time of Cleveland's journey to the finals, which can be justified by the sweep by the Spurs. Just trying to point out that there's a lot of grey area in defining the meaning of the Heat's inevitable glory in comparison to past championship team's victories.

If Carmelo hypothetically led this current Knicks team to win it all, it would boost him higher than when Lebron wins on the current all-star team in Miami. I would give Wade to Lebron winning the FMVP a 60-40 chance in favor of Wade as well. James is the second option after all... which is weird because Lebron has more talent than Wade.... this all being said, Lebron seems like such a confusing player to rank. He has control of his own life so I don't judge his decision (though he is a bag as a person), but joining Miami almost (emphasis on almost) erases the success he had in Cleveland as the main man, so I can see where people come from when they wonder aloud why there should be such a gap between Lebron and Melo... or I can throw this out there too... Lebron and Iverson.

Alex English is on that list for sure ..... no questions. 25,000 points and a Hall of Fame member should get you on the 75 list. If it doesn't, that list is booty. , surprised Dominique wasn't on the top 50 and Shaquille was after 4 years.

There's no one in that list that I would consider in the top 75 all time.

Manu has 3 rings and other les around the world, but for the NBA, he probably doesn't make the top 75 due to health reasons.

No one else, certainly no active player, comes close except Ray Allen. They're great players, but most haven't done yet.

John Wall doesn't even belong on the list unless you want to also include Kyrie Irving.

Ray Allen is the best 3pt shooter in NBA history, I think he deserves a spot

Ray Allen is the best 3pt shooter in NBA history, I think he deserves a spot

He's hit the most 3s, but that doesn't make him the best 3pt shooter just as the person with the most FTs made doesn't make him the best FT shooter.

Kerr has the highest percentage for a career, I believe, and won a 3pt shooting contest as well. No doubt Ray is a great 3pt shooter, but I wouldn't call him the best 3pt shooter in history.

Nique should be in doubt about it ...one of the biggest snubs of the first 50

[Giuseppe]

Did McAdoo make that first 50?

He also shares the record most 3s in a playoff game, making them when it counts. Made the most 3s in his career well above anybody else, he surpassed Miller quickly. Staying around 40% and volume shooting 3s is quite an achievement. If you don't consider him the best 3pt shooter, you have to at least consider him the most proven 3pt shooter.

^ happens when you put an overrated honky like Mikan on the list.

True but Mikan dominated his era you have to respect that.

There just seems to be a double standard when considering "best" for these things.

No one considers the person with the most FT makes as the best FT shooter.

Reggie is a volume 3pt shooter and was the 1st option much of the time. Kerr wasn't nearly as contested as Reggie or Ray, and shot a much higher percentage career wise.

If I had to have a 3 to win, I would take Reggie over any of them, Ray second, and Kerr somewhere down the line, because they would be guarded and contested shots.

[HarlemHeat37]

That list is pathetic as . What an insult to have guys like:
Wade
Chris Paul
LeBron
Durant
Derrick Rose

listed next to players like:

Duncan
Kobe
Nowitzki
Garnett
Reggie Miller
Iverson
Kidd
and even Nash

Lebron and Wade are more decorated, and better players, than Reggie Miller, Iverson, Kidd and Nash..

Comparing Carmelp Anthony to Lebron is foolish, too..I hope you're being sarcastic, or you're an idiot, tbh..

Are you trolling? I hope so. How does it make sense to compare a bench player to Ray Allen?

[Latarian Milton]

?


I'd rather put Wince Carter or even Charles Oakley over Tracy McGrady tbh.

in fact all the 3 n!ggas you mentioned are better deserved than the 7ft6-tall yellow clump of tbh
