All-Time #NBArank's Top 100 rolls on with players 71-80. (Click here for 81-90 and 91-100.)
To create All-Time #NBArank, we put together a ballot with the 150 greatest players ever. Then our ESPN expert panel voted on thousands of head-to-head matchups, with voting based on both peak performance and career value. The result is our all-time NBA Top 100.
The Top 100 will roll out over the next few weeks.
(Also, check out our positional rankings of the 10 best point guards, shooting guards, small forwards, power forwards and centers of all time.)
