This list is terrible.....but I figured I'd make the quiz based off it for some laughs....

They have Deron Williams as a top 100 player of all-time! LOL!

They also have Kevin McHale and James Worthy WAY TOO LOW! Also, Ralph Sampson and Dennis Johnson and so many more are way too low.

They over-prioritized 1940s/50s players too; that was dumb.

100% agree with you. It’s kinda funny how bad it is. LeBron at 4 and Harden and Westbrook above KD and Curry? Tim Duncan at 31? I’m wondering if they used a formula instead of just actually making the list by hand.
