    Congrats to Dame for being named to the Top 75 of all time. Honestly, I didn’t think he was going to make it.

    No link?

    Who named him a top 75 player? Better homes and gardens?

    i really dont care for the guy on the court, but no one can deny his triple double feats aNd that alone is damn near enough i would think.

    No Vince, no Tracy, not sure Dame has achieved as much as these so far - but I certainly expect him to pass them both by the end of his career. I suspect this is really a marketing exercise by the league and they need some current players that are not that far from the end of their career, so with that in mind, Dame certainly makes sense. Congrats.

    Not really surprised.

    Love that klay is crying that he's off. He's barely a top 100 player.

    Wow! Over Bernard King, Alex English, Vince Carter and T-Mac! Not to mention Pau or Tony Parker?

    Alex English, Bernard King, Pau Gasol and Tony Parker are pretty hard sells for top-75, IMO. I could see Carter and McGrady being in the conversation with Lillard.

    Did they take the original top-50 and add 25 more players, or did they do the list from scratch, anyone know?

    I think the world of King, but his prime was way too short. If he had a full career at his best, sure.

    English was a great scorer, but there have been a ton of those. Why English and not Adrian Dantley? IMO, both were tremendous for their era, but not legendary. King was legendary, but injuries reduced his career.

    Chris Bosh is another name to throw out there.

    I think a case could be made for Bosh, TMac, VC over someone like Pierce.

    Totally disagree. Guys like Tony Parker, Pau Gasol, and Ginobili won multiple titles playing team basketball on both ends. Westbrook got empty stats and playoff losses. He should be behind those guys.

    Hell I think I would put him behind Irving and I can't stand Irving.
