So I just saw an ESPN article which removes and adds players from the NBA's top 50 players of all time list. Here's the link:
The NBA’s 50 Greatest Players list: The remix
The only real issue I had was that they cut Clyde Drexler, but added Reggie Miller. I don't think there's any way Reggie was a better player than Clyde and don't feel that's deserved.
Nash is debatable imo, but he was really great at his peak and a 2 time MVP.
Ray Allen is probably closer on the bubble for me. His peak was amazing and he was not only just a great shooter but a great scorer too. His numbers from his Bucks and Sonics tenure were amazing.
Steph's career is a bit short right now, but based on trajectory and the way he's changed the game he'll probably end up there. He'll go down as the greatest shooter of all time at least 2 time MVP.
Paul Pierce is another on the fence for me. I don't think anything really about him screams top 50 of all time. I'd probably leave him off this list.
No Brainers for me:
Lebron
Kidd
Duncan
Garnett
Nowitzki
Kobe
Iverson
Wade
Durant
