Cause Damian Millard is better…duh…🤣🤣🤣 the list was interesting

cuz of a lot of factors

I agree. Bill Warton is a bad example though. Dame and AD ahead of Dwight to me is the more obvious problem.

plus nba championship with the lakers

@@jerryzheng7114 yeah AD only had like 2 playoff apperances in his 7 year career before Lebron recruited him and no real accolade, Dwight was 3-time DPOY, 5-time Allstar, 4 All-NBA First team, 3 All-NBA Defensive First team, 3 rebounding leader, 2 block leader and most importantly made it to the Finals facing botht the Celtics, Lakers and MVP Lebron in the same playoffs in that same 7 years, what did AD do?

Dwight is definitely top 75 or at least close to it when looking at his resume, he’s got a bunch of accolades

Sorry but it's a hard list considering there's a lot of great player. The top 75 is based on their achievements and influence in the game. Let's be honest about that. I mean, can you imagine if you pick 2008-09 Dwight Howard and drop him on the court like a time machine, and let him play in 1960s with Kareem, Walton, Bill Rus & Wilt? Have you even seen how those player played in the 60s? Have you even compared Dwight Howard's physique over those players? You know what's the answer.

Thanks for making me laugh.

@@harveyscottz You're acting like we're putting him at the top of the list. No, he's towards the bottom but still top 75.

So do we supposed to forget about the years in Houston, Atlanta, DC etc.? Because those years are on his resume right?

- never like Dwight in ORL but yeah, he's a top 75 player. I'd take him over Klay Thomspon for Top 75.

What makes it so bad is that not only was he one of if not the best defender in the NBA during that run he was also putting up like 12 boards and 20+ppg so its not like he was a specialist he was genuinely one of the best all around players in the league.

Not true because Dennis Rodman made the list and he was a defensive player. Rodman only averaged over 9ppg ONCE in his career and wasn't really a rim protector. However, he was the best rebounding big in the modern era and his versatility on defense makes him legendary. There's still no way Dwight Howard doesn't make this list. It's all personal and recency bias to exclude him. Listen to SAS try to come up with a reason to include Klay over Dwight despite Klay never ever being the best player on his own team or having the individual accolades. People rightfully praise Klay's defense, but ignore that there wasn't a better defensive player in the league than Dwight for consecutive years?! Klay has ONE defensive team nod to his resume in 8 years (not counting last two seasons).

The reason why defense is not as respected is because offense is much more difficult of a skill. In basketball offense takes greater coordination. Every person who plays a lot of basketball is constantly working on their coordination. Defense takes desire and quickness but offense is what all players really respect.

Stephen a is right though most people who even are commenting on this never seen Bill Walton play

I agree. Dame and AD need more.

Agreed

I'll put ad over him, but not dame yet

Preach. They are projecting them to be better but as of today Howard was better. I don’t think people appreciate how he has became a great role player. Not a lot of superstars can do that

I think Dame is only on this list because the media and the NBA wants to recognize he's already an all time great so that he can leave Portland. He needs to get some rings behind his name then he will be certified

And the moment he left Orlando his career fell off a cliff. He was on 7 different teams in 7 years. His career is actually disappointing compared to the super star he was in Orlando. The fact that he was so special and his biggest accomplishments are 3 DPOY and 8 all star teams is actually disappointing. He was that gifted. He had the potential to be one of the best big men to ever play and even Shaq was intimidated by him taking his throne. He never developed a polished post up game. Never developed a go to post scoring move. As his athletic abilities started to decline that was it. He was so special of a talent his career is disappointing 100%. Anybody that has a bigger problem with Dwight not making this list over klay has problems.

@@NextLevelAutoDetail actually, it didn't. He was an all-star his only year with the Lakers and an all-star with Houston while making All NBA those first two years he left Orlando. Injuries curtailed his career. And regardless of what transpired, his resume, especially at his peak was better than many of the careers of those on the list. That includes AD, Dame, Rodman, Westbrick, Bill Walton, etc. 8x All NBA, and 5x All Defense, leading your team to the Finals as the only star, are not just hall of fame accolades, those are all time great achievements.

Best player in the game? Hold on man and put down the pipe. As great as he is, he wouldn't make top 20 centers of all time. Top 75 players however there's a case for Howard.

@@PQV-8898 At his peak, he was definitely the best center playing, and he was being discussed as the Best player in the game when he was playing, not all time. That was a legit argument.

@Joe S winning rings while still being a very productive and valuable member of that team says a lot. Moreover when you're considered as the second best shooter in NBA history that says a lot as well.. Maybe recently Klay hasn't been as good ever since he missed those few seasons with horrible injuries.. but I would still consider his overall career being better than that of Damian Lillard.. I didn't mention anything regarding Reggie Miller because I do believe he deserves to be on that top 75.. he carried the Pacers to the NBA finals in the year 2000 and could have won an NBA championship had he not been during the Jordan era or that year he faced Kobe and Shaq in 2000

Damien Lillard and Klay

@Quick To Reason if Klay was on another team other than GSW don't you think he could have been a leader as well? Klay is not vocal but he definitely makes his presence felt on any team he's with.. Also I never compared Dwight and Klay.. I just said they both deserve to be on the top 75 last.. Dwight at his apex was a beast! So dominant and couldn't be stopped

@@elijaharvinger8711 Leading a team success is a huge factor. Cause there's a whole different level of pressure when you're the main guy coaches game plan against rather than the second or 3rd guy. The point is Klay has yet to prove he could be the top guy of a playoff level team or have the level of success of a Dominique Wilkins, Barkley, Ewing, or Dwight.

How does Klay get snubbed? His career averages aren’t that crazy good. 2 of the 3 rings he won were with an obvious championship team. He was 3rd fiddled to a team with KD and Curry both MVP players in their prime. Easily both top 5 in the league.

@@leokizzo3515 if you actually watch the video SAS explains why. but go ahead and copy paste espn headlines all over youtube

Klay is so overrated he’s not even a top 5 SG of all time. Kobe, AI, Jordan, Ray Allen, & Wade were all better.

Klay is great but not top 75 yet since all eyes are in Curry, I would have omit Carmelo and Dame in the list for Klay's spot

Kyrie? No.

@@cyberpsykoh6686 Kyrie yes... Especially when they add Damian Lillard... Kyrie has been in 3 straight Finals, has been performing exceptionally on all levels and was part of the only ring in Cleveland Cavaliers history, hitting one of the clutchest shots of all time... LeBron wouldn't win that ring without Kyrie (and the opposite as well)... Kyrie is also better individually than Lillard, since he is more efficient, better ball handler (on par with Iverson on that part), better defender... Only thing that lacks Kyrie to be on that list is stability...

@@jasonb97 I get that Kyrie is and will always be better than Dame. Dame doesn’t deserve to make it on this list too. Kyrie was actually a Damian Lillard type of player before Lebron’s return to Cleveland, putting up great numbers and achieving nothing. He hit a big time shot in the Finals and won a ring but that was it. What did Kyrie achieve after leaving LBJ’s shadows anyway? Nothing. He was still good but people expected more from him and yet, he failed to deliver. Then, Kyrie went crazy. But there’s no doubt that he’ll make it on NBA100. I’m not hating, just stating the obvious.

@@cyberpsykoh6686 I'm not here to judge what Kyrie should've or shouldn't have done with his career... But compared to Lillard, he is the least to say, a champion... And Lillard without a doubt has proven that he can't be a champion on his own (sad truth is, that only a handful of guards have done it as the first option on a championship team)... If Lillard had a player like LeBron, Giannis, Durant or Kawhi he would definitely be a champion like Kyrie... But even without the championship, Lillard only gains points with his leadership...

@@jasonb97 Man, Lillard actually had a lot of chances to leave Portland and find a better team for his career but he chose not to. So it’s all his fault for not playing with a legit superstar. He’s like Charlotte Kemba Walker and Minnesota KLove, putting numbers with no value.

Klay is a great career three point shooter, but so are other players who didn't make the list. In overall advanced statistics, he's not even in the top 250! Look at career Win Shares and career WS/48, for example. Yes, he's 20th all-time in made threes, but, heck, look at a guy like Kyle Lowry, who people forget is 18th all-time in made threes *and* has had much better WS/48 compared to Klay. Klay will likely pass Lowry on all-time made threes and in total points if he returns to his past form, but it's not like Klay has shown some sort of dominance in combined metrics compared to other players. He's just been a very good scorer in today's game, but even on that measure he's not in the top 75 for points per game for his career.

@@mmortal03 i guess for Klay Im looking at the overall picture. In my opinion, hes a top 3 shooter of all time and he plays elite defense. On top of that hes a 3x champ whose team went to 5 straight NBA finals. I think I would easily take him over Melo and Lillard and Westbrook(ppl in his era)

Stop, SAS is annoying but he knows his basketball.

@@charlesc.b2435 he know as much basketball as us fans do he not saying none we can’t

@@meethvncho but nobody listens to you tf 😂

@@michaelmccray1918 exactly

@@meethvncho That’s not really the point

And he was in that discussion with Lebron and Kobe For Years. It makes no sense. These old timers are so petty

@@dedricklane4899 and how does westbrick have a case over dwight or even melo?? never been near to the finals nor the best player status 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

@@starwarsfan-ye9hw he went to the finals in 2012 and went to 5 conference finals. His 4 years of triple double and basically being the 2nd greatest stat accumulator behind Wilt Chamberlain. But like you there’s no way I take Westbrook over Dwight for my team.

@@dedricklane4899 it’s just ridiculous haha. don’t know what to say 🤯

dwight was on a team that built around him, and all he could do was get to the finals after defeating a Kevin Garnett-less Celtics. can't win a championship with Dwight being the #1 option. When he was on other teams that weren't built around him, he didn't know how to work in their system. If Dwight had High BBall IQ back when he was on the Steve Nash-Ron Artest-Kobe Lakers.... on paper they should've won. If Steve Nash has a problem with you.. you're the problem. The Magic team catered to Dwight, Dwight can't cater to systems that aren't built around him.

Gshit Tmac was KD before KD

@@nellyville69 KD is much better

@@UndercoverSpill yet T-Mac in his prime couldn't even get past Baron Davis. He never made it out the first round of the playoffs

A great combination of defense and offense.
