I hope every nba fan appreciates this, especially the younger gen. I love that they are getting their flowers now as many of them won't be here when the 100 lists comes out 🙏🏿.
I agree. the young generation seem to forget them already. I never saw the 50's to 80's legends but I appreciate them. W/o them, there is no modern NBA.
It was okay but I think the list is incomplete because I didnt see Tracy McGrady or Vince Carter. I thought Tony Parker's name should've been mentioned too. But anyhow, carry on! Congratulations to all the legends mentioned!😊🙏
Watching Michael Jordan show up and bless us with his appearance gave me chills. I wasn't expecting the GOAT to show up. It was good to see his Royal Airness. He brought the house down.
Hardin Westbrook and Carmelo do not belong on this list, They are just stat stuffers not winning players. In fact, none of them have won anything. This historic list is characterized by winners. I get that they needed more current players on the list, but the fact is today's NBA is a poor product. It's a sports league in long term decline. The guaranteed contract killed NBA. It led to soft clowns like Hardin. They are an insult to teh greatness of these older guys.
@@Chasstful I totally respect your view. I can think of many others that should have made the list as well. (IMHO) I pray that I am around to see the TOP 100 list. Hopefully some of the active players now will get inspired and play better ball. The pressure is truly on some of them. MJ and Lebron together was EPIC !!!! TOO many GREATS last night to name....I truly appreciated it. I wish my Grandson was old enough to understand this. Good stuff.

@@drpestwick1 when the best player of all time hasn't played basketball in decades and you know how great he is, especially when you were alive to witness it either at the games or watching on television, you have to pay your respects, admiration and appreciation for the man that loves the game and doesn't cheats it. Some of today's generation don't understand it because they're not from that era of basketball. Only those that either studied the game and or watch NBA classics have a deeper appreciation 😃

actually there’s a video on yt that kobe said “Say it w/ me again… Wilt..Me… Jordan” when someone said his top 5 (ua-cam.com/video/PjFI2ZSS77Y/v-deo.html)
Best Forwards ends with LBJ Best Centres ends with KAJ Best Guards ends with MJ Nice ending there Cleveland. No doubt these guys are top three. Appreciate it whilst they still breathing.
Yes, whatever you prefer. Whatever you rank them. I think those 3 are the best to ever do it. It's gonna be hard for the current/upcoming players to move one of those 3 from the top spot.
The lst has a bunch of dead weight that could be cleaned up. WILLIS REED COME ON! he scored a basket on a bad foot. look what Isaih Thomas did when his was hurt. the list is terrible

Same I was born in 2006 and I’m jealous as hell that everyone got to see them!! I’m a Celtics fan and LOVE the NBA and know most of these guys. I would’ve been clapping all the way through
Last 1997, during the NBA’s golden anniversary, the ceremony started with MJ being introduced first. On NBA’s diamond anniversary, MJ is introduced last. Michael Jeffrey Jordan is what made me watch the NBA. I’m lucky to have witnessed his greatness even if it’s only thru TV. As Bob Costas said, “Many players are strong, a lot of players are skilled, but only one player has this level of artistry.” Amazing ceremony, salute to all these legends!
Definitely one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in Sports History. Got emotional because we are witnessing greatness and it is always great to see these guys get honored. Congratulations to the all the players that have made it on the top 75 NBA list. A night NBA fans will remember for a long time.
If he had been there he would have been bowing down to Jordan like he always did because he had a great mind for basketball and knew who the true GOAT was.
@@jbbieber8088 dude you forgot DROSE has an MVP title on his name...dame don't even have one...and 3x all star and rookie of the year ..... he is the youngest MVP in the history of NBA

Mamba forever💛💜💛💜
Cleveland is a town that will forever be associated with Jordan. When I was a kid they HAAAAAATED him because of how many awesome moments he made in that town. They still recognize the greatest though. There were some great Cleveland teams he beat back then with some great shooters on them.
@@PulledFLFGBANDFLFSV The Craig Elo buzzer beater and Jordan jumping 10 feet in the air after it is one of the greatest moments ever. Also you could literally just make a poster of Elo slamming his fists in agony after that play as well. LOL!
@@PulledFLFGBANDFLFSV wrong game. The buzzer beater was in the 1989 Playoffs in the 1st round(game 5). The 69 points was a regular season game in 1990.
Love the fact the goat (MJ) was introduced last, it's only fitting to close out the top 75 players past & present with the man that truly changed to game & still today love & respect (wish Klay on the list)
There were some players that should have been mentioned and were good: 1. Ben Wallace 2. Chris Webber 3. Tracy McGrady 4. Penny Hardaway 5. Grant Hill 6. Alonzo Mourning 7. Dikembe Mutombo 8. Vince Carter 9. Shawn Kemp 10. Pau Gasol
Imagine if they did this in Chicago? That place will sure be more louder when MJ showed up🔥🔥but this right here is Gold.. Thank You NBA for this, hope they made this yearly🖤
Very Historic Moment, I remember the NBA 50 ceremony at the halftime of All-Star game back in the 90s. THUMBS UP, I will revisit this again in future years.
@@Randomperson-zt3il they defo made the loudest noise for MJ, they quieted the crowd but if you watched it live it was clear the loudest cheer and it was a surprise
If he wasn’t an NBA star, y’all wouldn’t even acknowledge his existence like every other African in Greece. Had it not been for Giannis, y’all would probably still not grant citizenship to children born in Greece to immigrant parents so say less.
This was such a historic event. Just wish Karl Malone, Larry Bird, Tim Duncan, and Kevin Durant could've been there for this. As a fan that grew up watching the NBA through the 90s era, I had tears of joy watching all of these greats recognized and come together for this event. So happy for the new inductees. These guys gave us the pleasure to witness their' greatness and I would like to thank them for it. We should all feel honored to have gotten to see this! Way to go NBA All-Star weekend!!!
WE NEED TO APPRECIATE THIS! Its hard to make a list as theres alot of players who can take one spot from the other but seeing these legends, mostly alive is sure a treat... Be glad we witnessed it. Be safe guys!
They save the best for last. GOAT Michael Jeffrey Jordan! The crowid cheers so loud when he comes. Legends always be legends! Thanks for the great memories for those legends who were not present.
They always save the best for last on each positions, LeBron was last for the forwards, Kareem was last for the centers, and MJ was last for the guards
I miss Kobe man he's the sign that we should be thankful for having all the NBA legends that we have left like Bill, Kareem, Bob and so many more we have to appreciate them before its too late and by the time they die we will miss them
Once again Jordan recognised as the greatest, had the unique position at centre of the circle, was introduced last, and received the loudest cheer by far !!!!!!!
As a fan this was an incredible moment! Giannis was just taking it in in awe! It's interesting how it began with Barkley & ended with MJ, they used to be brother's. If only MJ could let it go... it's petty and life is too short. Their birthdays are literally only 3 days apart (Sunday was actually Chuck's birthday). People forget how incredible Sir Charles was... I'm 31, born in the early 90's. Some players were before my time but my love of the game and through UA-cam, I have been blessed to see a lot of the greats honored here play in their primes and this was an honor for me. I have watched this twice already and it only happened yesterday!
Same, same age, same love lol I was actually lucky to have an older brother who was super into NBA during 90's and we used to live in Poland back then lol so I remember waking up 4-5 in the morning just to see who won when bulls were playing in the playoffs while my brother was up all night watching lol
Damn it julius erving still has the charisma of the best nba player of all the time, he sure underrated. He was the one who saved nba from falling apart.

Nice ending there Cleveland. No doubt these guys are top three. Appreciate it whilst they still breathing.
they all have J as their last name too
@@your_fathers Kareem's starts with A.

Yes, whatever you prefer. Whatever you rank them. I think those 3 are the best to ever do it. It's gonna be hard for the current/upcoming players to move one of those 3 from the top spot.
The lst has a bunch of dead weight that could be cleaned up. WILLIS REED COME ON! he scored a basket on a bad foot. look what Isaih Thomas did when his was hurt. the list is terrible

Last 1997, during the NBA’s golden anniversary, the ceremony started with MJ being introduced first. On NBA’s diamond anniversary, MJ is introduced last. Michael Jeffrey Jordan is what made me watch the NBA. I’m lucky to have witnessed his greatness even if it’s only thru TV. As Bob Costas said, “Many players are strong, a lot of players are skilled, but only one player has this level of artistry.” Amazing ceremony, salute to all these legends!

Especially since his first all star appearance was in Cleveland. He won the dunk contest that year in '98.
