5 biggest snubs from the NBA 75 team

Dwight Howard during Los Angeles Lakers Media Day

#2 Chris Webber

Chris "C-Webb" Webber was a dominant big in the NBA from the early 1990s to the late 2000s where he suited up for five teams over 17 seasons. Webber ended his career just 0.2 rebounds per game shy of a career double-double average.That is crazy considering he was the 1999 NBA rebound leader and contended for the title on numerous other occasions to boot.

Despite never lifting an NBA championship, Webber was a force on the low-block during one of the more physical eras in the league. His footwork and low-post scoring ability were a joy to behold, while his rebounding skills were among the best the NBA has seen.

#1 Dwight Howard

Dwight Howard's omission from the NBA's Top 75 is nothing short of sacrilegious. The big man was nothing short of spellbinding during his prime with the Orlando Magic as he single-handedly dragged the team into multiple deep playoff runs.

Howard has since gone on to win an NBA championship with the Los Angeles Lakers. He has provided reliable back-up to multiple contending teams as his skillset has slowly become outdated in the modern game.

This is the same Dwight Howard who is a two-time NBA block leader, four-time All-NBA Defensive first-team selection, three-time defensive player of the year, and eight-time All-Star. If that doesn't scream Top 75 then I don't know what to tell you.

Of course, each of these players who are considered snubs would have to replace a player who already resides on the list. At that point we would be saying they got snubbed, so it's fair to assume the list is subjective. And that should be the biggest takeaway from this list, it's not that players were overlooked. It's just that we've been fortunate enough to be treated to so many amazing basketball players over the first 75 years of the NBA existence, and for that, we should be grateful.
