Back in 1996, the NBA released a list of the 50 greatest players ever for the 50th anniversary of the league. It included old stars like George Mikan, greats like Oscar Robertson and Wilt Chamberlain, and then current players like Michael Jordan and Karl Malone. But many great players have come since. Kobe Bryant was only drafted in 1996. And LeBron James wouldn’t enter the league until 2003.
