Best 50 players of the 90's

[BigAl_83]

I have been thinking about getting a pc going of my favorite era of watching basketball, the 1990's.

Im looking to compile a list of the 50 best players who played during the prime of their careers in the 90's, and played most years of their careers in the 90's.

Here's what ive come up with (please note that the list is not really in order of greatness, especially every player lower than 15 can easily be listed to high or to low):

01. Michael Jordan
02. Hakeem Olajuwon
03. David Robinson
04. Karl Malone
05. Scottie Pippen
06. Shaquille O'Neal
07. Charles Barkley
08. John Stockton
09. Clyde Drexler
10. Patrick Ewing
11. Shawn Kemp
12. Dikembe Mutombo
13. Reggie Miller
14. Alonzo Mourning
15. Dennis Rodman
16. Gary Payton
17. Mitch Richmond
18. Penny Hardaway
19. Grant Hill
20. Kevin Johnson
21. Tim Hardaway
22. Joe Dumars
23. Chris Mullin
24. Latrell Sprewell
25. Derrick Coleman
26. Glen Rice
27. Mark Price
28. Horace Grant
29. Larry Johnson
30. Chris Webber
31. Rik Smits
32. Charles Oakley
33. Dominique Wilkins
34. Glenn Robinson
35. Detlef Schrempf
36. Toni Kukoc
37. Eddie Jones
38. Dan Majerle
39. Jeff Hornacek
40. Vlade Divac
41. Xavier McDaniel
42. Nick van Exel
43. Sean Elliott
44. Allan Houston
45. Mookie Blaylock
46. Vin Baker
47. Mark Jackson
48. Cedric Ceballos
49. Steve Smith
50. Muggsy Bogues

Possibly? Rex Chapman, Clifford Robinson, John Starks, Rod Strickland, Ron Harper, AC Green, Terry Porter, Arvydas Sabonis, Sam Perkins, Nick Anderson, Anthony Mason.


Please lmk if you feel a player should be on the list that i have forgot. When im completely done with the list my goal is to get a PC going of at least 1 on-card auto of every player of that top 50 of the 90's

really cool idea!!

Thanks! Yeah i think this will be a fun chase. Hopefully i will get some input from other members here on which players should be on the list and who definitely should go of the list, so i can finalize it and start chasing!

there In my opinion are rated to high on list. Are these by your ranking??

No i took the top 25 from bleacherreport.com, so the first 25 are how they rated them (which i agree with you that some are to high on the list).
25-50 is completely random, i just searched for 90's players that i liked and added them to the list in no particular order. I think i will try and update it a bit to have a more realistic order.

Any players you feel are missing on the list?

I didnt list players like Kobe, Garnett, Iverson etc. because even though they played during the 90's i feel that they impacted the 00's way more than the 90's.

Would be cool to get an auto of each guy. It would be an expensive yet fun chase.

[BigAl_83]

Definitely will be expensive and probably tough to get a few players who hardly have any autos available (with Barkley most likely the toughest and most expensive!)

I think Sir Charles needs to start signing. Panini get on it.

I don't see how you could leave John Starks off of that list.
