Just off the top of my head I'd give Pippen's Top 50 spot to Dennis Johnson. Another posibility is Paul Silas. The list came out a few years ago and I just noticed that Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are not on it. Maybe LeBron should wait a few more years because he is still young but Kobe should certainly be there now. A list in teh next few years should certainly include Dwane Wade and Steve Nash and if Chris Paul continues to play like he has he will be on a future list too. Right now I would replace Pippen with Kobe. As for who should be dropped in he future to make room for new players if you want to keep the list at 50 its hard to say because there are a lot of old guys on the list who I never got to see play. I do remember watching Dave Cowens and although he was pretty good I don't think he is one of the greatest 50 or all time. Tim Duncan is not on the list but he should be.

Willis Reed from Hico, LA and Grambling And Bill Russell was born in Monroe, LA An incredible 18% of the 50 greatest pro basketball players of all time either were born here, played college ball here or both.

I will give you DJ, he was that good. Steve Nash could make that list as well. So I guess I agree with you.

Im not, looking at the overall picture of what a guy did for his team. Wilkins was really one dimensional.
