To celebrate the NBA’s 74-year history, ESPN has decided to set the world on fire by ranking the best 74 players in league history, combining both current and past players.

And as expected, basketball fans are tearing the list apart from top to bottom, pick by pick.

According to ESPN, the expert panel “voted on thousands of head-to-head matchups, taking into consideration both total career value and peak performance.” Several current players such as Giannis Antetokounmpo and Anthony Davis were included specifically for current value and production, along with specific long-term potential caveats.

So what did they come up with? Here’s the entire list, 1-74:

Now is where the fans come in. After reading the list, let us know in the comment section what you think of the list, specific rankings you agree/disagree with, and your age.

If you saw, say, Bob Cousy or Bob Pettit play and believe they’re criminally underrated, why? If you’re younger and feel, say, Jason Kidd or Russell Westbrook should be higher on the list, give your reasoning.
