Povodom 75 godina osnutka, NBA je izabrala najboljih 75 igrača u povijesti.
Na listi našlo 76 imena, dvojica igrača imali isti broj glasova pa su obojicu uvrštenu na listu, nisu objavljena imena spomenute dvojice.
Najviše zanimanja izazvao je popis igrača koji su aktivni.
Među 11 aktivnih su Anthony Davis, Carmelo Anthony, Chris Paul, Damian Lillard, Giannis Antetokounmpo, James Harden, Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Russell Westbrook i Stephen Curry.
S obzirom Shaquille O'Neal prije 25 godina na listu najboljih 50 ušao nakon dvije odigrane sezone, mnogi su očekivali da će Nikola Jokić i Luka Dončić biti uvršteni na listu.
Zanimljiva je lista izostavljenih igrača koju predvode Dwight Howard, Tracy McGrady, Dikembe Mutombo, Pau Gasol, Tony Parker, Penny Hardaway...
