Really shocked to see how bad the Mavs look.

the fact that the Mavs at some point had the most efficient offense ever with Luka + role players was a bit obverblown by how basketball works in the current era, but it was still a massive coaching and team planning feat.

If people think that those things just happen on their own, and they can just replace the key people managing this team with just about anyone, and these things will continue to happen on their own, they're in for a rude awakening. And I can't wait to see it

It can go either way. But I think you're right. NBA always values scoring over D...

I don't see an issue with Melo making it. Dude is a 10 time all star, former scoring champion. There are alot of guys I'd remove before I removed him. Dwight should be in over Dame for sure imo

Leaving Dwight off was a joke. Yes, he's been a diva clown the past decade, but can't detract from his career resume, including:

One NBA title, five All-NBA 1st Team selections, eight All-Stars, three Defensive Player of the Year awards, four All-Defensive 1st Team selections. NBA rank: 11th in rebounds, 13th in blocks, 59th in scoring

I thought TMac should have been on it

That's crazy....can't remember him being anything resembling a HOFer.

Can't even think of a player that has taken a bigger fall.

See that Klay is salty about being left off. On one hand, he's been a crazy great player. On the other hand, doesn't feel like he's done it long enough. Think the parallel would be James Worthy of the Lakers making the top 75. It's always been hard to evaluate him also, because he was a great player, but the impact of playing with Kareem and Magic also helped him make this list.

He played 8 dominant years in Orlando. Then in the post lockout year, he get dealt out to LA. Once he hit LA, the distractions took over, and he started to slip.

Then his decline was accelerated over the last 5-6 years by the new style of play, where the big-man with no outside shot just isn't nearly the factor.

But those first 8 years, he logged a lot of minutes and dragged a sorry ass Orlando team to the Finals.

Sometimes it's crazy that guys aren't "completely washed" after a year or two in a shithole after being good before they went there.

Melo's at least got longevity and his all-time scoring standing on his side. Damian Lillard is the biggest **** up on this list from my view. I love Dame, but dude's ridden GWs and deep 3s with no other substance into a top 75 all-time players list? Jesus.

There are so many guys - winners, notably - we could rattle off to replace a few of these guys. Of course a guy like Tony Parker won't make the list, but like hell if he doesn't have more accolades and standing than Damian Lillard.

Him missing these last two years played a big part in it. If he played these last two years he would probably be universally recognized as the second best shooter of all time, which would make him a lock. If he kept shooting at the same volume and efficiency he would be around top 5 made while never shooting under 40 percent. I don’t think he has a case over melo, Dwight, AD, Dame with the injuries though. I don’t fault him for being upset but he should just blame luck and his body and not the voters.

I still can’t believe Dame made this list though, one of the craziest things I’ve seen in a while.
