What is the deal with Artis Gilmore? This guy should DEFINITELY be included SOMEWHERE, yet people tend to overlook him time and time and time again.
LeBron has no business being on this list. If he were to blow an Achilles tomorrow, he'd end his career having never been to the NBA playoffs. And that would qualify as one of the 60 greatest ever?
In addition to Duncan and Bryant, I'd include Garnett, Iverson, Payton, Kidd, and Miller. I'd also include Bob McAdoo, Connie Hawkins, and either Dominique Wilkins or Bob Lanier.
That means I've marked off the following:
Dennis Rodman, Walt Bellamy (who I never saw), Adrian Dantley, Joe Dumars, Alex English, Dennis Johnson, Bernard King, Steve Nash and LeBron James for sure, and either Dominique or Bob Lanier.
