That was the official list. Although I've been told this is simply a TNT sponsored list, has this list been officially sponsored by the NBA as the selection of the first 50 in 1996 was?
Commenting on the list, 9 of the 10 guys I thought should've have gotten in were named. The only thing I would do is replace Connie Hawkins with Bob Lanier. Hawk did most of his damage in the ABA and didn't have a very long career as a whole. Whereas people can argue (and successfully) that Lanier was second only to Kareem during his tenure (the Era of the great Centers), career averages of 22 points and 10 rebounds. Lanier never gets fanfare because he happend to be on a very mediocre Detroit Pistons team during his prime.
