Several years ago, I gave out my Top 50 list and got some real mixed opinions about it.  But, after looking at ESPN's list, I've got to change my own opinion.  This is the REAL list of the Top 50 players in NBA History.  What does everyone else think?

 
Here's the rest of the list from espn.com, or what I'd like to call the honorable mentions:

James Worthy

Tracy McGrady

Gary Payton

Paul Pierce

Vince Carter

Ray Allen

Clyde Drexler

Many Ginobili

Bob McAdoo

Willis Reed

Robert Parish

Dennis Rodman

Alonzo Mourning

Earl Monroe

Pau Gasol

Dave Cowens

Alex English

Pete Maravich

Bernard King

Tony Parker

Bob Lanier

Damian Lillard

Dikembe Mutombo

Artis Gilmore

I'm watching ESPN right now, and they just flashed across the screen that Wes Unseld, who's #50 on my list, has just passed away at age 74.  At least he led the Bullets/Wizards franchise to a title in 1978.  He will never be forgotten.

 
I feel like Rodman is top 50 if he’s not Dennis Rodman. He was the dominant defender of the time.
