no disrespect to Mayor Bing but I didn’t think he’d make it.

most of them should have made it over Rodman

I like all the players on the list, but Rodman was integral to 5 chips on two teams. I'm not talking Robert Horry type rings, he was a critical piece to each. He was crazy off the court, but none of them have his resume on the court..

Anthony Davis on the list?? Sorry but no.

Rodman is a joke. Who is more important to their championship teams, Klay Thompson or Rodman?

If you’re going to put Rodman on there you may as well have put Draymond on there.

Bernard King didn't make it? Not enough years I guess but man when he was cooking...

Rodman deserves to be on that list for rebounding alone. He led the league in rebounds for almost a decade, which I would wager puts him in the top ten all time on a per game basis.

Damn... "A joke" is pretty hard core.. Different teams different roles.. But, I would say Klay and Draymond have better resumes then those guys too to be honest.

HOF’er is fine, but top 75? He’s a great role player just like Ben Wallace or Draymond.

The players left off just show me how many fantastic players there have been.

To me, the biggest snub is Dwight Howard. By a lot, actually. As I said in the official NBA thread... in his prime, he was elite on D and not far behind that on O given his position and how strong he was inside. The numbers speak for themselves, and so do the accolades (3x DPOY, 8x all NBA).

Shocking to me he is not on this list.

NBA75: Snubs, surprises and who's next for the all-time greatest list

Now that the NBA has unveiled the full 76-player anniversary team, our experts debate who should and shouldn't have made it.

Good analysis. I agree about Howard. I’d also add Ginobili and TMac. I’d take off AD & Lillard. And also probably Reggie Miller.

Great game last night for Melo. LA needs Howard, a Healthy Rondo and Bradley to step up.

The way this team is constructed, he can be a 37 yr old "Olympic Melo"
