LeBron or MJ? Curry or KD? The NBA unveiled its 75th anniversary list last week, but it didn't include any rankings, so our basketball experts michaelgrange, william_lou, loung_s and BlakeMurphyODC each took a crack at picking a top 10.

2) Michael Jordan: Two great unknowns: what if Jordan had been one-and-done at UNC and what if he hadn’t retired mid-career to pursue baseball? Could he have won seven titles? Eight? Nine? I don’t think anyone will ever touch going 6-0 in Finals appearances and winning Finals MVP each time, to go along with six league MVPs.
5) Bill Russell: Counting stats get a little overrated in basketball since teams take turns with the ball. Being the fulcrum of 11 championships can’t be overlooked. 7) Tim Duncan: The modern-day Russell. Won five titles over three decades in a small market; led teams to the playoffs every season of his 19-year career. Could dominate offensively when required, but it didn’t matter to him the way winning did.
