Slam Magazine gets all listy in its June issue: The Top 50 players in NBA history. We stopped at 10 the other day … but it just so happens that our Top 10 are the same as Slam’s Top 10. Because it’ll piss some people off: LeBron’s at 42, ahead of Dominique Wilkins (43) and Steve Nash (50), but behind Clyde Drexler (39) and Allen Iverson (41). Hmmm.

Shaq’s 4th, Magic’s 6th, Kobe’s 12th, Kevin McHale’s 26th and Patrick Ewing is 36th. The full, highly subjective list after the jump.
