Making lists is never easy. Often, someone gets left off and everyone complains.

ESPN.com undertook the bold venture of compiling a list of the top 50 NBA stars under 25 years old. Most of the names on the list are ones even the most casual NBA fans would expect, but one player left off raised some eyebrows

Andre Drummond, the 23-year-old No. 9 overall pick in 2012 by the Pistons, was no where to be seen. The 7-foot center made the Eastern Conference All-Star team last year, while also being named to the All-NBA third team.

Was he left off the list intentionally, or just forgotten? Either, way it seems impossible.

Fellow Pistons Tobias Harris and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope made the cut, and neither of them are at the same level as Drummond.

That's absurd. Say what you about Dre and his flaws, but to not have him on there is laughable. I actually doubt this was intentional, but who knows. Glad I don't waste money on ESPN insider

Ornery? Dude needs to grow a pair and play like the opponents have his mother locked in a basement

Sometimes I wonder how long it would take for some of these NBA players to cry like a baby if they had to play on the some of the courts we played on in Detroit, Flint and south side of Chicago. I recall I teammate who pulled out his .45 and told me to play defense and "block that $h*t" or else. That was serious motivation for me. After that pick up game I got a drink of water and ran to my car and got out of there. I let them keep my ball.

They also did a piece on the Tigers where they talked about how we're going to have to rely on Cameron Maybin at center field again...despite the fact that he was traded early in the offseason.

It happens.
