TNT will pick ´Next 10´: Start with Kobe
(February 13, 2006) — The NBA celebrated its 50th anniversary by honoring the "50 Greatest Players" at the 1997 All-Star Game.
TNT this week will pick an unofficial "Next 10." The list includes active players (except Shaquille O´Neal, who was among the original top 50) and players who were bypassed last decade.
Here are the 20 finalists: Walt Bellamy, Kobe Bryant, Adrian Dantley, Joe Dumars, Tim Duncan, Alex English, Kevin Garnett, Connie Hawkins, Allen Iverson, LeBron James, Dennis Johnson, Jason Kidd, Bernard King, Bob Lanier, Bob McAdoo, Reggie Miller, Steve Nash, Gary Payton, Dennis Rodman and Dominique Wilkins.
I have only two minor complaints about the 20 finalists: Rochester Royals guards Bobby Davies and Bobby Wanzer were at least as prominent in their era as Dennis Johnson was in his, and Tracy McGrady (two-time scoring champion) or Dirk Nowitzki (best-shooting big man since McAdoo) should have been included instead of Rodman. Rodman was an excellent rebounder and defender but generally a non-factor on offense
