- The NBA finished unveiling their list of the 75 greatest players in league history and Kevin Durant and James Harden were both included, but their teammate Kyrie Irving was not. Andre Iguodala wasn’t a fan of that decision and took to Twitter to post 'So y’all saying Kyrie Irving ain’t top 75? I agree… he's top 20 at least'. Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe share their thoughts on the list and whether Kyrie was snubbed.

Shanon needs a drug test immediately
I would say it's definitely not 75 players better than Kyrie Irving but accomplishments wise and being the leader of a team that's where I agree he's not a top 75
Kyrie and Dwight over ad and dame
Yo where TF is Brian Scalabrine
Skip talks to much about feelings, same way he disrespected Owens because he doesn’t like him. He is a stereotypical reporter that gets revenge or expresses their jealousy for not being athletic by punishing players they don’t like with their vote. Your emotions do not matter
Dwight absolutely was respected while in Orlando. The only person not liking him then was Shaq 😂
Super facts, shaq prob reason he was left off list.
Even in Houston he was pretty good
@@jeromejohnson25 that doesn't even make sense, shaq doesn't dictate or make the list.
@@jeromejohnson25 I can see that🤣
And Stan Van Gundy😂😂😂
I love how hard Shannon took up for Dwight from the get go.
I mean it’s facts, Dwights prime is iconic and his resume backs it up. Idk how they didn’t put him in there.
Yea cz he was the snub that should've actually made it He was the Top 5 player in the league when he was competing with guys Kobe LeBron D-Wade & CP3
@@g.o.a.t.8168 And not a couple of years ago people were slandering his name, cast out by the Lakers. All when he had his back issues. 🙄
@@g.o.a.t.8168 most likely because he doesn't take basketball seriously and he doesn't love it. You can tell in the years he bounced around that he stopped trying. That's what ousted him from the list.
@@zelgie3013 I think a lot of that was just fans taking sides. Apparently he and Kobe didn't get along much and kobe's fan base is a lot bigger. It didn't come out until later that Dwhite was playing injured most of that season. Similar situation playing with James harden but now the narrative on Harden is the rockets gave him everything he wanted Which is different from the narrative back then.
Dwight is the 1st player to win DPOY 3x in a row, led the league in rebounds and blocked shots. Despite him being a role player for a few years now, he's still averaging 12 rebounds for his career.
And he led a team to the finals even tho he lost to prime Kobe. Dwight is really a legend
Also he the youngest nba player to win dpoy
The problem Dwight has against him we can name probably 10 centers that had had better careers, even longer "peaks" Dwight had maybe a 5 year period. But we can name 10 centers who were better for longer.
@V Beard Like who? He accomplished a lot in his short prime and always showed out in the playoffs.
The obvious ones Wilt, Kareem, Bill Russell, and Shaq. Ewing had a longer peak, David Robinson, Moses Malone, Alonzo Mourning, Hakeem Olajuwan, Dan Issel, Dikembe Mutombo (maybe not in scoring, but blocks and rebounding) all had better careers. Looking at the all time stats list Dwight Howard isn't even in the top 10 in any of them. At least one if not multiple are in the top 10 for points, total rebounds, assists, steals, blocks. You're going to tell me that he deserves to be a top 75 player when he has now played in the league 17 years and isn't even in the top 10 in any category that multiple of these centers I named are? Stop it.
Dwight definitely deserves top 75. 3 time DPOY is unreal.
Most def, there was a period where dwight was the best center in the league, if u played him you knew he was getting 20 points and 15 rebounds no questions
That was 10 years ago . He is not top 75

Dwight averaged a double double in points and rebounds for 13 straight yrs! This is blasphemous.
Not good enough
Multiple DPOY, All NBA 1st Team Defensive Team , He Took a honorable L in the finals to a HUNGRY PRIME KOBE , but to be a 20-25 ppg and 12-15 Rpg guy for like 5-7 years with the accolades and not to mention the BLOCKS . He's TOP 75 BRO
It's sort of outrageous that he didn't make this list.
It's based on who they like. Politics as usual.
You crazy dude was trash after failing in Orlando
Kyrie wasn’t even the biggest snub. It was easily Dwight Howard, he has a better resume than both kyrie and lillard and there’s no argument you can make for either one of them being on the list over Howard
Correct..it's insanity.
Wrong biggest snub is Klay!
You out your mind if you don’t think Kyrie is a better player than Dwight. Media loves diminishing his legacy because they never gave him the accolades, they can never lose because they decide. The actual players know what’s going on. Shannon said Kai was never considered the best pg? Why don’t he ask LeBron in 2016 who he thought the best pg was, he said Kai was the best pg in the league.

I love this segment. Obviously, Shannon wins this one but man Skip 😂 the poker face all throughout the session. That's why almost everybody loves this show.
That ain’t a poker face. It’s Botox.
Nick Wright made a great point. This meant Dwight Howard would've made the list if he had retired a few years earlier and that makes absolutely no sense. Your greatness shouldn't decrease the longer you stay in the league.
Who cares?? A list vs. giving up millions of dollars to retire early
@@patrick553 and lose out on a championship
yep, a stupid list that doesnt matter in the grand scheme of things or missing out on millions and the experience of a championship. If I'm Dwight I don't care about the list at the end of the day tbh
It does make some sense, the more you play you could ruin or jeopardize your career.
I stopped reading your statement when I read "Nick Wright made a great point".
Imagine having Dwight Howard’s resume and someone telling you your greatest achievement was being a role player for 15 minutes a night
@alexander harvey Skip is old asf
Well technically. He was the more valuable as a role player beside LeBron and AD than he was as the number 1 option. Nothing wrong with that not everyone can be Superman 🤭😉
@@FrankWhite248 he is. He's said many times how good Dwight is and even compared him to Shaq in 2010

He was still pretty good in 13-14 too. But yea at his worst, he was definitely better than a lot of guy’s prime
people just do not like him it’s as simple as that . in his prime he was as impressive defensively as you’ll ever see but he just doesn’t have the reputation of the others that made the list which is sad . there is no real point in debating whether he should of made it , when he has Terrell Owens syndrome (he also doesn’t get the respect he deserves)

Shannon made a good point about Kyrie making a “big shot” but you can say the same for Dame putting OKC out of the playoffs. But if do the research Kyrie has actually had a better career than Dame but he still made the 75 list. No disrespect to Dame, he’s a great player but he shouldn’t have made this list over Kyrie
No he didn’t Dame made the playoffs more times than kyrie did and hit more clutch shots than kyrie

@@mikesolo5747 you trippin
There’s no debate on Dwight being on the list, I feel that even though Kyrie doesn’t have much of a resume, his skills and talents should be more than enough for him to make the list. He is easily the most skilled player in the league; best ball handler, one of the best and most efficient shot creators, incredible ball passing, incredible finishing at the rim, and great one on one defender. But I guess his reputation is that much of a factor in votings and selections 🤷🏻
absolutely terrible take. Dwight howard has a worse reputation and didnt make it either but his resume is so much more stacked than kyrie. Ive been a kyrie fan and think he has the best handles all time but he just hasnt done enough to make top 75. He would make top 100 but I would put Klay Thompson over Kyrie if I had to choose one to make it.
Kyrie Irving
1.Drafted 1st overall
2.Rookie of the year
3.hit one of the most clutch shots in nba history / nba finals history
4. Nba champion
5. Arguably the best handle in history
6. Arguably best finisher under the basket in history
7. He’s In the 50/40/90 club there are only 10 players in that club 9 in the nba and 1 in the wnba
8. Arguably top 3 most skilled players ever
This stuff probably doesn’t count but I’ll say it any way. 2 Olympic gold medals/ an all star game mvp/ a three point contest winner
And ps don’t quote me on this but I believe he is the only player ever to record 50 points with over 80% shooting in a game
I think he’s top 75 for sure
getting drafted 1st overall doesn’t even make you top 500. Look at Anthony Bennet
i can put kyrie around 90-100 ..
not greater than ...
1. Kevin Garnett
2. Mcadoo
3. Dwight Howard
4. Klay Thompson
5. Manu Bol
6. Tony Parker
7. Ray Alle
8. Jason Kidd
9. Granger ( indiana days)

Case in point Chris Paul making it, can’t fault Melo for fighting in the west with dynasties like the lakers and spurs
@@ManifestingProsperity718 lets stay focused on dwight and melo bc thats who we’re talking about and its pretty easy to see this. melo has ten all star appearances to dwight’s eight. dwight has 5 all nba first teams to melo 0. 3x DPOY and 4x all defensive first team on top of winning the dunk contest, leading the league in rebounds for 5 years and leading in blocks for 2 years. melo has a scoring title and that’s it.

Dwight should be in there instead of AD. Dwight was the best big man in his peak years. In 2008-2009 season, he was the league leader in rebounds and blocks while averaging 20 ppg. He was the DPOY and an mvp candidate that season. He also led orlando to the finals after beating lebron's cavs.
Dwight was mentioned for half a decade as a candidate for "if you had a choice to build a team around any one player, who would it be?". For half a decade, or more. Add in a long post-prime career in which he still added a championship and stats, there's no way he should have been left off. 3 time dpoy, led leagues in rebounds, blocks, led a lackluster team past lebron.. the only explanation i have is he is a victim of playing in a time that big men were being valued less, and Lebron-Kobe-Dirk-Duncan-Wade were all regarded as better overall players during his peak, for the most part, and he got less attention as a game changing superstar.
I literally just said something similar!! Straight facts! AD by now should have been the top dog or close to it!! Giannis makes AD look like a baby!!!
Replace him with Dame

Stop it. He's not even a top 20 guard of all time. He's not even a top 5 guard in his era.
Shannon is straight up nuts saying "Howard is better than Ewing"
Pat was good for 24/11 every year for 10 years.. 20/10 career in the playoffs.. And Pat was a warrior playing through injuries and a great competitor. Howard has no real offensive game to speak of.. He just wanted to dunk the ball.. No post moves or jump shot.. His main prowess was his great D and rebounding, but the highest scoring season he ever had was 22.9.. 12 of his 17 seasons he is under 20 PPG.. Ewing scored over 20 PPG 13 times..
Even though Dwight Howard did end up falling off in the mid 2010s, he was still a productive player until 2018.
He’s still very effective
He’s one of the reasons Lakers won last year! He’s still productive
And that was because of trying to play through a bad injury. Wish he would have sat out instead of trying to fit into the fickle Lakers culture. Their fans never appreciated it.
I’m with Shannon, hands down the biggest snub & imo the only snub was Dwight Howard. Dwight was a top 3-5 player for 5 years, it’s just facts. Beat lebron & went to the finals. Beast in Orlando.

How did dwight lead the team when the magic were known for there 3 point threat. You act like the magic only had howard, they had Turkoglu, R. Lewis, Marion, Redick, they had premier players to back howard up. If it wasnt for them and their shotmaking abilities, howard wouldnt be as relevant
@@AgentWK Did u watch any of the games? He was the reason they were open. He was the focus he was such a big threat on the pick and roll and he would get doubled on his post ups as well. He was also the most dominant force on defense during his prime and every team has role players, super stars just have the ability to make them "premier" (nash gortat, LBJ mozgov, paul ayton, etc.) something kyrie couldnt do. Dwight made his roleplayer better and literally carried them on defense, thats why he was 3x DPOY.
@@MrGuapz What im saying is Dwight didnt do it alone in the Magic like other superstars like Lebron in Cleveland who has proven to singlehandedly carry a team. Dwight had like I said, Turkoglu, Lewis, Marion, Redick, etc. If it wasnt for those contributing pieces, he wouldn't have made it as far as he did and vice-verca. Also Kyrie simply havent found the perfect fit in a team yet. His best bet was in Cleveland with Lebron. Nobody wins a championship alone unless your as talented as Lebron or Jordan so people cant be saying Dwight carried that Magic team. He was the best player in the team, but by no means did he lead(carry) the team. He needed those 3 point shotmakers as much as those shotmakers needed him

Kyrie? What a Joke. The real snub was Dwight. Some How AD with a worse resume was put on the team instead of Dwight. Ridiculous
And klay
They got Dame on this list bruh
Oh my god. I can't believe people actually think AD shouldn't be in. This is a guy that has had multiple mvp level seasons, was arguably the mvp in 1 or 2 of them, he is also one of the best defenders of all time and can defend 1-5, was the mvp of the playoffs in 2019/20 (not the finals), has been an All-star throughout his career and has a ring now too. AD should make a top 50 team without a doubt. He is a unicorn and one of the most special players ever
@@govincisutanes7962 Klay is not a top 75 player of all time. I don't know why people think this. If you replace Klay with AD New Orleans never makes the playoffs with Klay instead of AD. Klay is the perfect number 2 but AD is a way better number 1 option.
Fun fact: AD has averaged 20+ points in every single season except his rookie year, 24+ in every single one of those except his second season and last season, 27+ ppg in every single playoff seasons except last season where he was haunted by injuries, has 8 all-star appearances in 9 season and this year will be his 10th, has two all NBA defensive (robbery and should have been way more) and has four all nba appearances. You know nothing about basketball if you don't think AD belongs with the best ever. He will retire with one of the best ever resumes.
I agree Shannon, Dwight is more deserving than even AD
Agreed, Dwight Howard has a far better career than AD.
Facts
Patrick Ewing was surely a better player than Dwight Howard. Ewing carried the Knicks in the 90s and would have won multiple championships if it wasn’t for Air Jordan.
I actually agree with Shannon.. wow
As a Magic fan I hate how Dwight left but he was undeniably great in his prime, ESPECIALLY on defense.
He should replace Bill Walton who shouldn’t be in there

@@josephlopez4661 i understand he won but his career highlights are based on 2 and 1/2 years of very high level basketball. Dwight has 7 or maybe even 8 years at a similar level. He got so disrespected
Dwight on that stretch of 5 years, was neck and neck with lebron in terms of status and popularity. They were both in the McDonald's commercial. He was the best center in the league and top 5 player. Should be easily in this 75th team.
Man he would give you 20 and 15 that’s insane in the 2000 with 2blks
Bro he was great. I'll give you that but by no means was he neck and neck with Lebron in popularity. He was complaining about Lebron commercials being played too much during his finals run because his team out Lebron out. Does that even remotely seem like he is as popular.
CAP
Lmao
@@quentin6233 Nah Dwight was really up there. That back injury, changed him forever though. He'll even Melo was considered better then Lebron at one point and he was!
As others have said, Kyrie is constantly prioritizing other aspects besides basketball. Depending on how this year goes, he might not even play in a single game. Couple that he is getting injured a lot so no, despite his "potential" to be a top 75 player, he doesn't play enough to actually warrant him getting on that list.
Tony Parker is one of the most underrated point guards and players in general to ever play he was mostly a sidekick player to Duncan but there were times he was more than that. When he played he rarely rarely made mistakes for a point guard and he was very efficient overall, everything he did on the court was economical and smart, he always played to his strengths and he was so elite at scoring in the paint and around the rim and he's not a big player overall when comparing to other nba players in general. He didn't put up big numbers like some other point guards or guards in general because he played in a system for most of his career, if that was not the case he could have put up bigger numbers. He was also a deceptive point guard meaning he was very hard to read.
Parker is also one of the quickest point guards to ever play.
The Magic were a legit team with Dwight. Dwight is an All Time Defensive Player for sure.
That year I wanted to play LeBron if Dwight could've put up like 30 points up a game or even like 27 a game they would have won probably they had rashard lewis hedo and nelson I liked that team a lot but I think he got left off cause he was left off cause he didn't have All pros as much and there's players who have hella rings in the 50s and all pros but there was 11 teams in the league so it's not fair
AD shouldn’t be on there over Dwight
Dwight shoulda been on the list but give me AD as a player over Dwight. They both shoulda made it.
AD’s ability is unmatched at his height and position.. he has to be there
I agree 💯
@@datsapaddlin I’d rather take Prime Dwight over AD
I agree with you. AD is no where near as dominant as Dwight was at his peak.
Missing:
Penny Hardway, Vince Carter, Tracy Mcgrady
Tony Parker, Klay Thompson, Nikola Jokic, Dwight Howard, Earl Monroe, Paul Gasol, Kyrie Irving!
Off the list:
Wes Unseld, Dave Bing, Lenny Wilkins, Pete Maravich, Billy Cunningham, Jerry Lucas, Dave Debusschere, Dolph Schayes, Paul Pears and Carmelo Anthony
Dwight had 5 great years from 2007-2011 where he averaged 20 points and 13 rebounds he went down hill after that, but if u gonna put Reggie Miller on there so I guess Howard should make it as well. Just saying

@@Baconeggncheese14 agree
Nah Kyrie is a great player. If Lebron didn't have Kyrie during that run then they would have won the Chip. It's simple! It's a team sport... I'm a Lebron fan but this thing that he makes players better is all lies. He makes teams better not the players. Kyrie never changed his game when Lebron came in lol. Like he been ballin! They got some new teammates as well.. These narratives are wild, this is why people think Jordan was the best. But I might say Jordan was mountrishmore great. So I don't mind that argument. But these analysis and fans do not watch the games. How can people not put Kyrie next to Curry when he's schooled Curry multiple times and he's more unguardable than Curry lol. And he's shoots the 3 pretty great while contested versus Curry who needs a little more space at times. Like do people watch the games? I'm not biased, these are simple breakdowns. Championships can't be a factor when deciding the best "individual" players. Come on man! I feel like I could be a better analysis than these mofos.
Lmao... he removes Dame for the same reason he commends Reggie. Knock Dwight for not being respected by his peers, fully dismiss how much Dame is loved and respected by his peers.
Let’s be honest Dame did not have that much impact in the game as Reggie 😄
@@prasan7th One conference finals ever? Other than being a Knick killer, he's one of the most overrated players ever.
Kyrie definitely above them both
I agree with Skip in that Dwight never took basketball seriously but Kyrie will literally take vacations in the middle of the season because his feelings got hurt oh and won’t tell anyone that he’s leaving. Not his coach, owner, even own teammates, he just dips. Where they do that at!?
Something wrong w skip he contradict his self all the time
I think if you’re gonna compare Reggie and Dwight the biggest question I can ask is who was feared more. I think overall teams feared Indiana in playoff series, but individually Dwight Howard was feared more in my mind. Dwight Howard was a matchup nightmare in that five or six year stretch. It’s hard for me to put him in front of Reggie though simply bc he was one of the best marksman of all time. He was the definition of a clutch 3 pt shooter. At the end of the day(though I’m sure players get agitated) it’s just a list.
The Kobe Bryant curse if there's one person Kobe Bryant hated that was Dwight Howard. It's all politics.They DIDN'T want Vanessa bayant in the same building as Dwight Howard
Tony Parker should be on there. He one of the greatest ever at laying the ball up. Incredible finisher. Coming from a Lakers fan.
Without a doubt end of the day game recognize game and he definitely got rob
That's so true
If you’re make a case for him, him being a great finisher doesn’t really help it.
And Westbrick was there! Muricans are biased as always. 🤷♂️
@@mahirwemoses8007 exactly he gotta say a little more than that cause kyrie a better finisher
This is one of the few times that I agree with Shannon. Resume-wise, Dwight has a more compelling argument than Dame, Melo, and AD. He was a franchise player who took nobodies to a Finals, while demolishing the Big 3 Celtics and Lebron-led Cavs along the way.
@Daren Avestruz Took nobodies to the finals? That's a very manipulative statement to make. Like I get it. Do ppl look back and remember Hedo, Jameer nelsin and Rashard Lewis? Probably not. But Hedo and Rashard were huge against Cleveland. Dwight didn't make those clutch plays down the stretch. Rashard Lewis was an all star on Seattle and could really contribute to the team. Hedo won most inproved player the year b4 they made the finals. Snd he showed that year why he deserved that award I just don't think it's fair to say he took a bunch of nobodys to the finals.
You know who also has a more compelling argument than Melo? Manu, because he gave Melo a bronze medal in '04.
@@ursula3438 Tony Parker has a more compelling case over Manu
@@rockmorales I agree, TP should have made the list.
I usually agree except lebron
What about David Thompson aka "The Skywalker"?? He gets forgotten so often but only TRUE basketball fans and the legends know who David Thompson was as a player. He was absolutely unstoppable as a player. He had a complete game...pullups, mid-range, first step, finishing above the rim. He needs to be on this list!!
"Everyone's not gonna be respected and liked" obviously speaking for his nephew LeBron. However respect by your fellow teammates and players matters a ton, especially when they are the ones voting for placement.
But Lebron is both respected and liked I don’t understand.
Too much recency bias. The old players don’t get enough love. I’m fine with Kyrie being left off.
And what’s the criteria? He has a better resume than some players on the list, superior skillset, and better regular + advanced statistics.

That’s true but they compared enough to give the advantage to older players, so I think relative to era placement Kyrie could definitely make a solid case.
You have to judge players by the era's they played in, way too much disrespect to the old timers. I'm glad the NBA kept the old timers on there, otherwise we'd have too much recency bias going on, mfers will put Kyrie over Walt Frazier

@@PardonMyGenius they were still dominant "big men". Dwight had plenty of competition. And you don't win three dpoy on accident.
@@kcrossover4267 When Ewing was playing. Every night he was playing against a better center than Dwight has ever played against…. Whether it was Shaq or Hakeem or David Robinson or Alonzo or Dikembe or Brad Daughterty or Rik Smits. Or an older Kareem or a young Ralph Sampson or Kevin Duckworth or a Bill Lambeer or an older Robert Parrish. Do you get what I’m saying? Dwight was never Patrick Ewing. He never had the offensive game that Patrick had. And Ewing’s first 7 years in the league, he was also a defensive force. But he was playing against two of the top three defensive centers to ever play (Mutombo, Olajuwon). Dwight would not have 3 defensive player of the year awards in a row, if he were playing in the late 80’s through the 90’s
I like how they minimize Kyrie saying he hit 1 shot. But we not gonna talk about the 41 he dropped alongside lebron to help them win over a great opponent in the warriors.
They let the media theatrics undermind Kyrie... Idgaf ! Kyrie better than Curry for me and would be got a tilts last year if he didn't get hurt
@@shootertone5644 “If he didn’t get hurt” is the story of Kyrie’s career. Availability is a valuable asset.

I don't know Kyrie as a person, but as "the man" to take you to the promised land???...it's nothing but a joke!!! Just watch the 2019 playoffs when Giannis, who was not confident and very beatable, dominated Kyrie's team, and it was because of Irving's leadership and winning mentality, not his height or skills!!! In fact, Al Horford was balling and gave Kyrie several opportunities to be a hero, he just is NOT that guy...that is why he thinks the world is flat, and refuses to get a shot to help his team win a title!!!!!!!!!!!
What has he done since then? I'll patiently wait.
@@melanatedgod5337 You have a point, but Lebron hasn't did anything either but destroy the Lakers franchise! I will NEVER consider the "bubble" a real NBA championship! If you take a poll, I guarantee you over 70% of NBA fans feel the same way!!! There was no pressure, no fans, and the Lebron and AD got 4 months of much needed rest. The NBA title is special because of the huge grind, ups and downs, crazed fans, unreal pressure, etc...the bubble had NONE of that. We see what happens to Bron, and AD when they have to play a complete regular season and playoffs!!!
Of course Laker and Bron fans will call it legit, but nobody else does.
Kyrie has a lot better chance to win a chip (especially after getting Ben and Seth Curry for Harden) this year than Lebron winning a title ever again! The Bucks are still gonna be tough to beat, but if Kyrie gets vaccinated, they would be the favorites.

Jamal Crawford probably and Skip to my Lou have the greatest all time handles
Talent-wise, Kyrie is probably top 10 all-time:
- True ARTIST with the basketball
- Incredibly quick
- Unpredictable, keeps changing pace
- Good passer, not a turnover machine
- Might have the best handles in history
- Can turn into an unstoppable scorer
- Shot-maker from anywhere, including very tough shots
- Clutch
- Infinite bag, can finish in every way
- Defensively quick hands & feet, high IQ, physical
Despite all that, Kyrie is barely top 75. Why? Time has shown he ain't reliable. It's always something : injured, unhappy or simply his mind clearly not on basketball. Doesn't care enough about playing and winning. Barely top 75.
Do you know where new tab 75 what do you mean barely. His game is pleasing to the eye but forget all of that Lets pull the flat earther’s stat sheet and take a look at that.

He also lead his team to one finals appearance and help lead the knicks to the 99 finals. Dwight offense was offensive rebound and dunk or catch an oop... smh, lol...

I guess because he's trying to justify the reason to pick X over Y when the miniscule stat differences need something to "break-the-tie." If Lillard is on there, Kyrie should be on there. This is all really subjective.
