I thought he was selected in the top 75 greatest players of all time last year. He was one of the best combo guards during his era.

He won the 1989 NBA Finals MVP Award. Dumars scored an average of 27.3 points in the four-game sweep of the Lakers in the NBA Finals. His heroics enabled the Pistons to handle the Lakers with ease.

Dumars is more accomplished than some of guys who were selected in the top 75. As player:

2× NBA champion (1989, 1990)
NBA Finals MVP (1989)
6× NBA All-Star (1990–1993, 1995, 1997)
All-NBA Second Team (1993)
2× All-NBA Third Team (1990, 1991)
4× NBA All-Defensive First Team (1989, 1990, 1992, 1993)
NBA All-Defensive Second Team (1991)
NBA All-Rookie First Team (1986)
J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award (1994)
NBA Sportsmanship Award (1996)

Dumars was an assassin. Just watched the 1989 nba finals and he destroyed the Lakers Backcourt.

No.
McGrady, Dwight, Alex English were the biggest snubs.

Dennis Rodman made it to top 75. He ain't even the 2nd best bad boys Pistons it was Joe Dumars who won an NBA Finals MVP in 1989, and in his best season JD was better than Reggie Miller" Jordan called him the best defender he ever played." (In my opinion it was Gary Payton the best player who ever defended the GOAT"

Yeah, if Derozan wasn't in top 75 then why would a sidekick player from watered down era be in there, duhh?

HUH?? Terry only won 1 playoffs series against LeBron while Dumars and the Pistons beat Jordan 3x in the playoffs. Michael Jordan can rest in peace this year.

Terry beat Lebron without HCA and outscored Lebron in the series.
