Dr J may have been drafted by the Bucks in 1972, but he certainly did not make his debut for them since he was already playing in the ABA for the Squires (beginning in 1971) when he got drafted by the NBA. He didn't play in the NBA until the merger and then it was with the 76ers. So his debut should be either with the Squires in 1971 (ABA) or 76ers in 1976 (NBA).

@alidarjarok Barkley is about 6'4" maybe an inch taller. I wonder if you did this list now, who would you add (I can only think of 2 players) and who would you take off.

U can only think of two? Are you stupid? Kobe, Lebron, Tim Duncan, Garnett, Nowitzki, Iverson and Steve Nash or J kidd. Wow.

Kobe, yes. Duncan, yes. Nowitzki,Kidd and Garnett, maybe. Iverson, Nash, and especially Lebron, no. I mean, who would you bump off, to put them in?

@Biloxi, I could dump Sharman, Walton, Thurmond, Maravich, McHale, Wilkens, Archibald, Cowens, to make room for LeBron. I'm sure there will be some arguments about this, but I don't see 50 or even 45 guys who are irreplaceable here.

Pistol Pete Maravich is one of the most underrated players in NBA history. Even though he didn't win a championship, when you talk "greatest", you should include him. Isiah Thomas, John Havlicek, and Bill Walton have all said that their favorite player to watch was Pistol Pete. Moves that even Jordan did (switching hands in mid-air for a lay-up) Pistol Pete did before him.
