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.

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
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.
High hopes for Luka and the rest! I mean they're for sure the future faces of the NBA. Really wish they don't suffer from any career ending injury though.
Watch the NBA 50 team in 1996. Now 2022 NBA 75 makes me feel time fly so fast...... when Kareem come out did the skyhook brings back the memories....it was such a nostalgic legendary moment NBA in 80's and 90's....80's NBA and basketball start become global...and 90's Jordan just push it into global world mania !!! Thank you all NBA legends.
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.
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

@@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
My take for the GOAT debate: The GOAT debate should be structured in a way that its not a one dimensional approach, completely disregarding the facts that players are not even in the same position, playing the same role, and played on a different era of basketball. Championship should also not be the main backbone of the argument, instead, acts as an enhancement to what the player already achieve on his own. Winning the ring is a team effort, not an individual greatness. With that being said, my GOAT lists is this: Point Guard: Stephen Curry (Magic Johnson as my 2nd pick) Shooting Guard: Michael Jordan Small Forward: LeBron James Power Forward: Tim Duncan Center: Shaquille O'Neal (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as my 2nd pick)
I don’t think ppl actually realize how fucking CRAZY this is. This is literally history in front of our eyes…👏👏👏

10:40 coldest intro that night, the background music timing, the skyhook gesture, the smile, KAJ 💪
Kareem with the skyhook! 🔥
This was a Legendary moment that ive ever saw. RiP to all those Legends who aren‘t here anymore. Their Legacy will never be forgotten.
Kobe, Wilt, Elgin and the rest should still be here man...can't believe they're gone😭
I think so, too.
5:02 This is the first time I see Tim smile that much
Happy his doing great after all these years

Tim Duncan would be 6-0 in the NBA Finals like Jordan if not for Ray Allen.
@@MikeJones-pf4wd exactly 🤬
Kareem is so humble. Here's a man who may legitimately be the greatest of all time, and he just gives a shy smile and a thumbs up. Definitely a complete 180• to Shaq's entrance.
cus everyone knows who shaq is lol most dominant player oat
Being fun doesn't mean not being humble. You talk nonsense.
They just have different personalities, that’s all
shaq is an entertainer, i do not think he is arrogant.

The all-star game is whatever, but seeing all my childhood heros in one place makes this my favorite all-star game ever.

Chief is out here looking like he is in game shape at almost 70. Good for him. Loved Shaq's entrance. He is so much fun!
No other league celebrates their players like the NBA. This shit was like the Avengers reuniting or something. Awesome
They have the most iconic superstars
@@ti8864 it makes you proud to be a fan.
This is dope. The Greats of the game at one place. I wasn't born yet when the top 50 was introduced in 1996. Being able to see this now feels like once in a lifetime.
Yeah one thing I love about the NBA is how they celebrate the history of the game
theyre probably gonna do top 100 so yeah 25 yrs?

'98. it was in Cleveland then too.
I'm happy that I witness those legends on they era❤️
This has to be the greatest lineup EVER!!! #NBA75 🏀🏀🏀🏀
I love when jordan was introduced
The fans cheered even louder
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.

I watched the event of the NBA at 50 in
1997.
I never had thought about I could watch this kind of great athletes meeting again even I live in Japan.

Nah seeing bill russel there was so heartwarming
Rest in peace to all those who have moved on. Their legacies will forever be engraved in the history of the NBA.
I made sure to clap everytime a player who passed was shown. Thanks to all fallen athletes for your contribution
@@flonkas same.. the one from kobe still got me tho
Kobe was really something amazing. You can hear the crowds screaming loudly for him.
the greatest ovation for the greatest of all time his Airness MJ for the final obviously
Rip to all the legends who weren’t there to see this amazing milestone
So cool how Kareem and Gervin struck their iconic posses! The hook shot and finger roll!
Isiah Thomas whispers to Magic Johnson about Michael Jordan - th-cam.com/video/hy-k_d24mJw/w-d-xo.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.
they all have J as their last name too
@@your_fathers Kareem's starts with A.
ngl centers should have ended with Wilt
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
Bruh I got shivers when he said Michael jordan idk why
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.
Giving Luka that last line was absolutely perfect😢
High hopes for Luka and the rest! I mean they're for sure the future faces of the NBA. Really wish they don't suffer from any career ending injury though.
🤣
@@Gelorica for real, all 4 of them have a chance to establish dominance in the league

His hands were shaking !! He was nervous
Watch the NBA 50 team in 1996. Now 2022 NBA 75 makes me feel time fly so fast...... when Kareem come out did the skyhook brings back the memories....it was such a nostalgic legendary moment NBA in 80's and 90's....80's NBA and basketball start become global...and 90's Jordan just push it into global world mania !!! Thank you all NBA legends.
Amazing video love these greats
Could only imagine what LeBron was thinking having the Worm talk his ear off the whole time, lol
Damn this so sick just seeing all the nba greats in one picture, also makes me even miss kobe more rip to black mamba
Kobe should have won a DPOY and 3 mvps rip gigi to
Especially since his first all star appearance was in Cleveland. He won the dunk contest that year in '98.
What this before the all star game started? By the way, the videos on the playlist on my channel might interest some people!
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.
@@SimpleManGuitars1973 He said he was the GOAT not Jordan.

My take for the GOAT debate:
The GOAT debate should be structured in a way that its not a one dimensional approach, completely disregarding the facts that players are not even in the same position, playing the same role, and played on a different era of basketball. Championship should also not be the main backbone of the argument, instead, acts as an enhancement to what the player already achieve on his own. Winning the ring is a team effort, not an individual greatness.
With that being said, my GOAT lists is this:
Point Guard: Stephen Curry (Magic Johnson as my 2nd pick)
Shooting Guard: Michael Jordan
Small Forward: LeBron James
Power Forward: Tim Duncan
Center: Shaquille O'Neal (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as my 2nd pick)
Fire 🔥 list
