75 greatest NBA players ever: The HoopsHype list

In honor of it being the NBA’s 75th season, the league plans to release something they’re calling the NBA 75, which will feature a list of the 75 greatest players of all time.

So we had the brilliant idea to do the exact same thing first.

We held a team vote with the opinions of eight HoopsHype staff members, removed the highest and lowest rank for each and awarded points 75-1 for the rest.

There are nine players dropping out from the league’s original 50 Greatest list and 34 new entries – including five players who could have made the 1996 list. (Yes, Dominique Wilkins makes the cut this time).
