You guys are thinking about this all wrong. Just because the Top 75 have been established that does not mean the next 25 have to come from the modern era. You still have to include the old timers that might have been numbers 76-100 at the time. If you do that half those guys will not and cannot make it and the players below will not make it.

I think we’re still establishing the ‘player pool’ and I also think you are totally correct that a list of the ‘snubs’ from the original Top 50 list would be beneficial to creating an accurate top 100 list.
Then there’s the task of ordering it!

I saw someone say Durant is in the discussion as best of the generation. No, he’s really not - LeBron is in that generation, and so there’s not a discussion at all.

I totally agree but just imagine the genetics differences: Lebron looked like a grown man at 16, Stickman looks like Snoop Dog at 35!
Successful coin BST transactions with Gerard and segoja.
Successful card BST transactions with cbcnow, brogurt, gstarling, Bravesfan 007, and rajah 424.
I think the card itself is total eye candy. The pose of Durant is spectacular, the colors are great, the logos and graphics are well placed as far as the card design (which sometimes can be a little too busy in modern sets) on BOTH the front and the back and I most definitely liked all of the many different iterations of Seattle’s uniforms over the years. With their green, yellow/gold and white base color scene and a banging design team, they always had the Sonics looking Super, especially the early 90’s uni’s - where I can see Kemp catching oops from GP - to the very end of the franchise’s run in the city with those fresh, crisp threads (below) on KD.

Lebron's head looks like Barry Bonds is in NBA JAM from the 90s. No one seems to care. No injuries ever. Hmmmmmmmm.
Just to circle back on the original topic?
