All-Time #NBArank: Counting down the greatest players ever

NBA

NBA legends. We're ranking 'em!

To create All-Time #NBArank, we put together a ballot with the 150 greatest players ever. Then our ESPN expert panel voted on thousands of head-to-head matchups, with voting based on both peak performance and career value. The result is our all-time NBA Top 100.
