This year marks the 75th anniversary of the NBA, and to commemorate that occurrence, the NBA has created an all-time team of 75 players that are viewed as the greatest ever to play the sport.

The NBA has decided to unveil the members of the All-Time NBA 75 in installments, with 25 players being revealed each day.

It has certainly been fun to slowly see who made the cut, but there's no question that some players and fans will be left unhappy. Brian Scalabrine has previously mentioned that "there will be outrage" at the NBA's 75 list, and there's no question that there have been some greats that have not been selected.

No list can keep everyone satisfied though, and with the amount of talent that's passed through the NBA, it's clear that there were going to be some good players left out. However, this is a great list from the NBA that celebrates the legends of the game, and it is a great way to kick off the start of the season.
