NBA's 50 greatest players list
The NBA chose the 50 greatest players
in NBA history to honor the NBA'S 50th anniversary in 1997. They introduced
each player, centercourt, at the 1997 All-star game, which was hosted by
New York at the Madison Square Garden. In many peoples opinion they left
some people out such as: Dominique Wilkins, Bob McAdoo, Joe Dumars and
Alex English to name a few and they also had some selections which were
questionable such as: Shaquille O'neal, Bill Walton and Micheal Jordan
(Just Kidding).
I am going to go thruogh each player
on the offical list and then go through the people that deserved it in
my opinion, but were left out. Then I will go through the people that would
have gotten it if this list were to be made, say 9 or 10 years later (in
other words, the people that were to young or haven't been in the NBA long
enough to make an impact)
But first learn about the history
of the game of Basketball
