Any one that's missing?

If so, who do you remove to put them on the team?

[Voice of Reason]

Dan Issel.

I like that, but who comes off to make room for him?

More in depth look needed to decide that. The first name I would look at is Paul Arizin. I never heard of him. Only player on the list whose name I don't recognize.

He was on the 25th and 50th team. Retired as the 3rd leading scorer in league history at the time.

Alex English, Mark Aguirre, and even though 99% of the world hated him, Bill Lambier.  I'd remove Harden, Rodman and either Robert Parish or Dave Cowens.

I’d take off Damian Lillard and add Dwight Howard.

I'm biased towards him but I don't know how you could remove Rodman.

Dwight I would be fine with.

I am not sure what Damian Lillard has ever done to deserve this level of recognition. Posed for a viral meme? Put out a rap album? Same for Melo. He scored a lot of points, ok. But what has ever done in his career to promote winning? He has had two teams in 18 years that were upper level, but not really anyone was taking them seriously as a title contender.

It may be a generational thing, but I feel like the ommissions of TMac, Vince Carter, Tony Parker, & possibly Penny (my favorite player as a kid, so bias may be here) are the ones that I noticed.
