Wouldn't it be better to have separate entries for the Top 10 Best Coaches and the Top 10 Best Teams or at least cut down the stats of the coaches and teams? At its present state, it looks cluttered. --Tubutler19:56, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree I was just thinking of nominating this for a GA and I like it. Although they are separate topics I love the layout and look of this article. Quadzilla9907:37, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, this is more of a list, I believe. So it can't be nominated for GA could perhaps be a featured list eventually though. Quadzilla9905:48, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
..."The 50 Greatest Players in National Basketball Association History (also referred to as the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team) were chosen in 1996 on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the National Basketball Association (NBA) to comprise the fifty best and most influential players of the first half-century of the NBA, with respect not only to performance at the professional level but in consideration of sportsmanship, team leadership, and contributions to the growth of basketball and irrespective of positions played; only players to have played at least a portion of their careers in the NBA were eligible for selection."

who is this Tong-Kang Ju guy, i did a search on him, but i can't find anything on him. Is he for real? Apparently someone edited this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.52.13.80 (talk) 14:57, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That person doesn't seem to be in the article now. Yes, people tend to edit the page, but we're usually pretty good about keeping the list correct. --Maxamegalon200015:24, 2 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
this may sound stupid, but can someone please create a list of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History in order of Greatnes?
thanks.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.132.37.82 (talk) 21:41, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This page is entitled 50 Greatest Players in NBA History. As such, it describes a specific group of players named by the NBA in 1996 as their selections as the top 50 players in their league's history. It has nothing to do with a 2006 list created in 2006 by TNT sportscasters.
Accordingly, the below content referring to that non-NBA sanctioned list had been excised and stored here:
TNT addendum
On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the release of the fiftieth-anniversary team, fourteen broadcasters employed by the American television networkTurner Network Television, a broadcaster of NBA games and the network on which the programsThe NBA on TNT and Inside the NBA air, released a list of the Next 10 Greatest Players. The panel, which included four former players and two panelists who voted on the initial NBA list, considered contemporary players who were unestablished in 1996 and historical players not already included on the original list. Released on February 18, 2006, the ranked list was presented in conjunction with the NBA's 2006 All-Star Weekend.
Players selected
Players italicized were active during the 2005-06 season during which the team was announced, and are still playing as of 2009. Players starred had, upon the close of the 2005-06 season, been inducted as players into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Players with crosses (†) were inducted after 2006.
Jason Kidd was selected during the 2005-06 season, while still an active player.Kobe Bryant scored 50 points or more in four consecutive games in 2007.
If a contributor would like to create a page based on that list and link it to this page with an internal link listed under the "See also" section they are welcome to. Its content does not belong on the NBA list page. Wikiuser100 (talk) 16:16, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The dates of the coaches and their tenure at their respective teams don't add up. Red Auerbach and his tenure at the Celtics is bad....who wrote this article???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.239.161.45 (talk) 01:12, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As noted in the article lede, this was as one-time designation made in 1996 as part of the NBA's 50th anniversary. It was not intended to be updated, and the article name simply reflects the designation given at the time to the list of players that were selected.—Myasuda (talk) 02:14, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
That's a decision for the NBA. They released the details at a press event, as opposed to publishing it exclusively in a book or video.—Bagumba (talk) 08:31, 22 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Bill Fitch continued to coach after the list was published. In contrast to other coaches on this list who did so, he only has one coaching record entry - for his whole career. So his record up to the 95/96 season needs to be added. 165.1.194.41 (talk) 15:25, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I'd say for players who were still active when being selected, the stats at the time of their selection is at least as interesting as their lifetime stats. So either change the stats to the status when they were selected, or do it like the Coach list and add their stats when they were selected above their lifetime stats. 165.1.194.41 (talk) 15:28, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
