Paul George’s career isn’t over yet, so maybe in another 25 years after things are all said and done he’ll be on the top 100 list.īut, man, it’s rough keeping him off of the list now. He was well respected amongst his peers as one of the most talented scorers the league had ever seen. Had he stayed healthy, it’d be even greater.īut even with his struggles, he made 7 All-NBA teams, 7 All-Star teams and won two scoring titles. It’s easy to scoff at T-Mac being suggest for this list, but he’s got the resume of one of the best players to ever touch this league. On top of that, he made eight All-Star games in his prime and is unquestionably the best dunker ever. NBA teams thought he was worthy of a roster spot for that long. I think that, alone, is worthy enough to land someone on a Top 75 list. MURRAY/THE STAR-LEDGER via US PRESSWIREįirst of all, Vince Carter played in the NBA for 21 seasons.

He’s the reason small-ball works in the NBA today. He doesn’t have the All-NBA selections but there’s no way the Heat are winning their championships without him.

He’s only made 3 All-NBA teams but has been an All-Star seven times and has one of the best handles we’ve ever seen.

But one thing no one can question is how good he is at basketball. Kyrie Irving is an extremely polarizing player for a lot of different reasons. Klay seems to think he’s a top 50 player.Ī lot of folks out there seem to agree with him.

He’s only a 5-time All-Star but he’s a 3-time NBA champion. Say what you want about Klay Thompson’s limitations, but if it weren’t for his teammate he’d probably be considered the best shooter to ever play the game. Look at his numbers compared to Anthony Davis. He’s done just about everything.Īnthony Davis is on the list. This guy was once considered one of the best two or three players in the world. He doesn’t seem to be universally liked, he’s had really annoying moments and spent a good chunk of his career being made fun of by Shaq and Kobe Bryant.īut facts are facts.
