NBA's 75 Greatest Players: Full list of the greatest basketball players of all time

The NBA tipped off its 75th anniversary season with its list of the top-75 greatest players in league history. However, because of a tie in the voting, 76 players made the list. The league asked a panel, consisting of front office executives, coaches, current and former players and media, to vote.

The list of the greatest basketball players of all-time is unranked and was revealed in no particular order by the league. Below, the players are listed alphabetically by last name.

All 50 players from the 50th anniversary team made the 75th anniversary list. Eleven current players were added to the list, and the previous list's biggest snub, Dominique Wilkins, made this version.
