Debating the NBA's 75 greatest players list: Snubs, surprises and the best of the best

As part of the celebration of the NBA's 75th season, the league unveiled its list of the greatest players in its history over a three-day span in opening week -- a list that ended up having one extra name due to a tie in voting. Every player who made the league's 50th anniversary team in 1996 was also included on this list, along with 26 new names ranging from Bob McAdoo (who debuted in 1972 and was considered one of the biggest snubs from the 50 greatest list) to Giannis Antetokounmpo, the reigning Finals MVP who is still only 26 years old.
