Can’t believe you guys wouldn’t want LeBron…we can move on though, I’m just bored without any basketball to talk about haha
First Morris and now LeBron. SMH.
Not sure what you’re referring to, but I never wanted Morris here

Seems a touch early for Dame. He’s probably a top 75 guy, but he’s borderline and I’d have waited on him. I know Dwight has fallen off the superstar radar, but for about 5 years there he was the best big in the league and a near mvp level guy. He should’ve been on the list.
I agree it was too early for Dame. And I just don't see Howard as a top 75 guy either.

Dwight was a 5 time 1st team All-NBA, only 26 guys in history have that many. He was 3 time DPOY. He fell off quickly, but 5 years as a top 5 guy in the league and 3 more years top 10-15. That’s top 75 for sure.

I'm starting to get the feeling that Monty might be a better Coach than Terry Porter and Earl Watson... Combined.

5 years 1st Team all-nba isn’t enough? It’s more than Nash, Paul, Dirk, KG, Curry, Moses, Pippen, Robinson…same amount as Barkley and Dr. J

No, it’s not. It’s not all about 1st team NBA. It’s about consistently high performance over a 10 year period or more.

That wasn’t a standard others on the top-75 list were held to.

Rodman is some kind of character and quite the straw for the whole group of 75 at this kind of event.

Some of Howard's numbers are impressive, but 1st team All-NBA as a center, in an era when centers were completely dead, is a bit less so. There wasn't another obvious big man to put ahead of Howard, so he sort of won by default. In 2009 the 2nd team All-NBA center was Yao Ming.

And Howard wasn't as good as any of those players you just listed.

Exactly. And like Mori said, being a 1st team Center doesn't mean you are a top 5 player in the league. It means you are the best center in the league.

Again, I agree that there are guys on that list that shouldn't be there (yet) like Dame. But that doesn't mean Howard should be in there.
