NFT: NBA 75th anniversary team

the top of my head:
Chris Webber
Bosh
McGrady
Gary Payton
Mourning
Amare
Paul Pierce
Grant Hill
Kawhi
Dwight Howard

Obviously most will be on the 75th team, but a few probably don't make the cut.

and pretty easily. Those two haven't sniffed an MVP let along back to backs, and obviously no finals MVP either. Years accrued is the only thing he doesn't have over them and that's just a matter time, he will get there with his eyes closed barring a catastrophic injury.

Kawhi is the other interesting one as he'd be a slam dunk if it weren't for all the injuries but, they are there and they have defined his career, in part.

is an interesting candidate. Don't think he's quote there but his resume is pretty expensive. 4x champion, finals mvp, a bunch of all start teams, a few 2nd team all nbas, and his Euro awards (although I guess this wouldn't count towards that).

that's interesting. I wonder if a guy like DeBusschere might get left off.

This obviously has nothing to do with a guy's ability as a player, but for the guys from the original 50 that are still alive, I would hope they'd just keep them on the new list.

I mean who would you take Tony Parker over of the new generation or Gary Payton? I don't think there's anyone.

personally I think he’s had a better career than Carter and Anthony but that’s probably not a popular opinion. Amare is questionable for me too and someone I’d probably put behind Parker.
