This list is kind of a joke. Too much recency bias. Manu Ginobili at #58, LOL.
Ginobili only went to 2 all star games, and best awards were 2 all-nba third teams, and 1 6th man of the year.

And I'm not even a Jazz fan, but both Stockton and Malone should be much, much higher than they are on this list.

Other NBA legends who they didn't even include on the list:
dolph shayes -HOF, nba champ, 12x all star, 6x all nba 1st team, 6x all nba 2nd team, nba 25th & 50th anniversary team, 50 greatest players
hal greer -HOF, nba champ, 10x all star, all star mvp, 7x all nba 2nd team, nba 50th anniversary team,
paul arizin -HOF, nba champ, 10x all star, 3x all nba 1st team,all nba 2nd team, all star mvp, nba 25th & 50th anniversary team, 50 greatest players
lenny wilkins -HOF, 9x all star, all star mvp, nba 50th anniversary team,
bill sharman -HOF, 4x nba champ, 8x all star, all star mvp, 4x all nba 1st team, 3x all nba 2nd team, nba 25th & 50th anniversary team,
dave debusschere -HOF, 2x nba champ, 8x all star, 6x all defensive 1st team, all nba 2nd team, nba 50th anniversary team, 50 greatest players
harry gallatin -HOF, 7x all star, all nba 1st team, all nba 2nd team,
jerry lucas -HOF, nba champ, 7x all star, all star mvp, 3x all nba 1st team, 2x all nba 2nd team, nba 50th anniversary team,
dave bing -HOF, 7x all star, 2x all nba 1st team, all nba 2nd team, nba 50th anniversary team, 50 greatest players
jack sikma -HOF, nba champ, 7x all star, all defensive 2nd team,

And you can argue that these other legends were also better players than Ginobili:
dick mcguire
larry foust
jo jo white
ed macauley
chet walker
slater martin
tiny archibald
george yardley
richie guerin
lou hudson
walter davis
adrian dantley
sidney moncrief
nate thurmond
spencer haywood
sam jones
dennis johnson

These players from the 80-90's:
joe dumars
chris mullin
tim hardaway
mark price
mitch richmond
tom chambers
shawn kemp
a/c green
penny hardaway
vlade divac
grant hill
chris webber

These players from 2000+
carmelo anthony
chris bosh
lamarcus aldridge
dwight howard
joe johnson
yao ming
blake griffin
amare stoudemire
shawn marion
gilbert arenas

And you could argue that even these active players are better than Ginobili:
klay thompson
kyle lowery
kyrie irving
paul george
