The NBA has already fully revealed its 75th anniversary team, which includes the 76 best players of all time after a tie in the voting. The last batch of votes has brought some surprises, such as the inclusion of Anthony Davis or the presence of Dominique Wilkins, which was the great forgotten of the NBA 50 in 1996. All members of the NBA 50 repeat selection.
With everything, 15 of the last 26 teams represent a novelty compared to the previous big list from 1996: Ray Allen, Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant, Stephen Curry, Anthony Davis, LeBron James, Jason Kidd, Kawhí Leonard, Damian Lillard, Reggie Miller, Gary Payton, Paul Pierce, Dwyane Wade, Russell Westbrook and Dominique Wilkins.
This is the complete list of NBA 75, a list that will have to speak for some notable absences, such as Pau Gasol, and dubious presences, like those of Davis and Lillard:
