NBA’s 50 Greatest Player
This morning while watching NBATV, I saw the 1997 All-Stars Game. I was at New York city BTW to visit my brother that is who recently stay here because of his study at Gibbs Melville School.And didn’t realize that day also was the announcement of 50 greatest players in the NBA. Only few players of that lineup that I’m familiar with. When I say familiar it is the time that when I started watching NBA. Here are the few players that I can still remember that I saw play when I was a kid. It was Shaquille O’neal, David Robinson, Patrick Ewing, Clyde Drexler,Charles Barkley, Hakeem Olajuwon, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Scottie Pippen, and Michael Jordan. Who are the players that didn’t make it on the lineup? That was the question that came to my mind during that ceremony.
Lets talk about the all star game now. The lineup of the East was Grant Hill, Anfernee Hardaway, Scottie Pippen, Michael Jordan, and Dikembe Mutombo. On the other side, they have Karl Malone, John Stockton, Hakeem Olajuwon, Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton. It was a very good ballgame. Glen Rice took over the game with 26 points. That all-star also was the time where Kobe Bryant won the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Championship and also score 31 points on Rookie Challenge. It was also the rookie year of the 2-time NBA MVP Steve Nash. Although that game was won by the sophomore. The Sophomore team composed of Antoine Walker, Marcus Camby, Erick Dampier, Kerry Kittles, Allen Iverson, Vitaly Potapenko, John Wallace, and Ray Allen. Almost all of them have made good reputation on the basketball court.
