lol, for a second I didn't realize it was alphabetical order, and was freaking out about how Jordan was so low. I didn't think the final 3-peat meant that much.

Bill Walton didn't play long enough for me to put him there. He was amazing and won the title as a rookie, but injuries just killed his career.

Re: Modify NBA Top 50 Players list
Bryant, Duncan, KG, James, Nash, Dirk, Kidd, Payton IN
Lucas, Maravich, Monroe, Sharman, Wilkens, Debusschere, Cunningham, Worthy OUT.
I added players from after the 50 at 50 (1996 I think) but maybe there are some snubs who I am forgetting. Wilkins, Mcadoo might go in somewhere but I dont really now. I would also think about adding Wade/Iverson but I am not sure over who.

Nice job Dumby! can't really say any of your choices are bad which is pretty impressive seeing as how we all like to argue
