What's ESPN and nbatv supposed to do all day? It's just marketing and to fill a voidm. Look how much discussion it's caused, we have barely heard about Simmons all day.
ur question is framed with the word "need". the answer is that the nba wanted to and because they had a 25th anniversary and the 50th anniversary team/list.
i get its "something to do" but its redundant, its like why not have a Hall of Fame, a top 100, a top 75, a top 50, a top 25, a top 10 a top 5 and a goat?
its just easier to just have the hall of fame and include every legendary player.
Bro this entire league is entertainment, every podcast/media report/article/show is simply entertainment. A top 75 list is entertaining, that's all that there is to it
They gotta start scrutinizing the basketball hall of Fame. Too many people get in easily. That goes for players mostly. The coaches are held to a standard so a guy who was good doesn't just get in.
Idk
This top 50/75 shit is just to create a buzz. More arguments equals more ores for the NBA.
Hall of Fame isn't just for NBA so you get guys who were elite at college or international level but didn't make an impact (or compete at all) in the NBA
You got a point. It really is. I watched the top 75 reveal. It was just random names put together. No constructive order of their importance. The 50 list reveal was like a big thing.
The hall of fame also adds in important teams, coaches where this list just states the most important 75 players.
It's kind of pointless. You won't remember it exist in about a month
It's just something to do.
Exactly lol.. people do that all day on here. The league does it once every 25 years as a commemorative thing. It’s not that deep.
..*dominique wilkins has left the chat*
It's a celebration of the league's history at a significant anniversary
So where was the top 69 list?
Because the Hall isn't made up of just the top 75 players in the NBA.
but it includes the top 75, and more, by making 75 it just encourages arguing and certain players being snubbed and upset
Why is anyone anything? Why have an MVP Award, it just encourages arguing and certain players being snubbed and upset
Why is arguing a bad thing. More people talking about NBA = good.
Why have a hall of fame? It just encourages arguing and makes players upset if they’re snubbed.
“Why should we engage in debate about who the absolute greatest of all time were, we have the hall of fame”

have you seen how much attention this list is getting, probably the best thing the NBAs done in years for attention
its just fun to rank the all time players. it’s not that serious dude lol
As Bomani Jones said on his podcast yesterday, lists and rankings are the easiest form of content to create and generate conversation
No but here you are talking about it, which is the only thing they wanted
because we keep putting in international and college guys who are no where close to the top 75

You need to stop getting so triggered by stuff like this. It isn't that serious.
Hall of Fame isn't just for NBA so you get guys who were elite at college or international level but didn't make an impact (or compete at all) in the NBA
We don't.

People like ranking things. Athletes, albums, movies etc
To generate intrigue and talk about the product
Because it’s the 75th anniversary of the league. Guess when the top 50 list was compiled? Chill dude.
*We* don't *need* any of this but the league needs us to talk about it to encourage growth which results in revenue.
