NBA 75th Anniversary All-Time Team

[Ne 1]

In 1980, to celebrated the 35th Anniversary of the NBA (http://www.basketball-reference.com/awards/nba_35th_anniversary.html), through a poll by the Professional Basketball Writers Association, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pro_Basketball_Writers_Association) 11 exclusive players made the anniversary team, Red Auerbach was selected as coach, Bill Russell was selected as the greatest player, and the 1966-1967 Philadelphia 76ers were selected selected as the greatest individual team.

In 2022, the NBA will turn 75 and I expect a 75th anniversary team. Keeping intact the 50th Anniversary Team (http://www.basketball-reference.com/awards/nba_50_greatest.html) from 1996 when the 50 greatest players in NBA history were selected, what 25 players at this point in time will be a lock to be added to that 50 for the 75th Anniversary team and in 7 years from now, who do you expect will be selected as the greatest coach, player and individual team?

You gotta remember though, there were a lot of great players already retired or near retirement when that list was made that weren't on it, so some of them will make it too

I have Harden on there, but forgot Westbrook. I'd put him over Melo in that case.
