Comments
I remember this list in 1996 when the NBA turned 50. People were SO pissed that David Robinson and Shaq made it. Neither had won a chip and both had only wilted (no pun) in the biggest games. I think they earned their spot over the next decade. As 25 years have passed, I'd only add Duncun, KG (a slight stretch), Kobe, Lebron, Durant and Curry. Am I wrong and forgetting somone and who should get bumped to make room?
