Yeah, he will get in, but if morals was a consideration, he would be in the bottom 50...

Shaq was placed on the top 50 list 4.5 years into his career.

And had Shaq been injured directly after the list came out, it would have been a waste of a spot.

Grant Hill is a guy that probably makes that list without injury IMO.

Dwayne Wade is no where close to the Top 50. He's a solid player I would like to have on my team. However, his career to this point has been groosly overrated.

i'm in agreement with LE. Reggie Miller = Ray Allen. Neither I think are definite top 50 players.

better question- who's out?

If Dwade hadn't had the injury setback and played the last two years like this one, he'd definitely be in the conversation.

If anything, Wade has been underrated. He's never compared to Kobe or Lebron, yet he is capable of taking over a game/series the same way. No way has is he overrated.

Great defender, but no way one of the top 50-75 players of all time.

I would like to see them do the list over again in its entirity at this point. I know the Celtics dominated the league like nobody's business, but 20% of the top 50 was a little much. Time should balance that out a little. Not sure if Sam Jones, Bill Sharman, and even Robert Parrish are still there nowadays.

If Ryan Bowen was born black, 7'4", had a jump shot and could jump out the gym, he to could be included in this conversation. The "could have" factor has no place in this list.
