My Top 50 NBA Players of All Time Part 3 (40-36)

Bronson Hello again. This is the next part of my list. Do you guys like or agree with it so far?

#40. Carmelo Anthony SF/PF Denver Nuggets, New York Knicks
Although Carmelo Anthony has yet to win an NBA championship, this player is an amazing ball handler. He is also arguably the best all around player in the league today. And though he can be a ball hog at times, he deserves a championship ring. I think Carmelo Anthony should have been the rookie of the year instead of LeBron James. Anthony is, I believe, one of the most underrated players of all time. He deserves to be on this list easily. And, of course, he is liable to move up higher on it.

#39. Jason Kidd PG Dallas Mavericks, Phoenix Suns, New Jersey Nets, New York Knicks
Jason Kidd and Steve Nash remind me a lot of each other. The only reason why Kidd is ahead of Nash is because he is ahead of Nash on the all time assists list. He is also a little bigger than Steve Nash which allows him to be more of an all around player. Jason Kidd also had one of the most successful international records too, as he won the gold medal almost every time he went to the Olympics. He is an amazing PG and a great assister.

#38. Elvin Hayes C/PF San Diego/Houston Rockets, Baltimore/Capital/Washington Bullets
Elvin Hayes is one of the greatest scorers of all time and rebounders of all time. In one game he scored 54 points. And he was only a rookie! It is also very rare that you can average 31 PPG in your college career. The "Big E" did all of that. He is also a fairly good assister as well. Even though Elvin Hayes had Wes Unseld working with him for a few years, it was very clear that Elvin Hayes was one of the most dominant centers of that time. If you can average 21 PPG and 12 RPG in your whole career, you are one amazing center.

#37. Dirk Nowitzki PF Dallas Mavericks
Dirk Nowitzki is not only one of the greatest forwards of all time, he is also one of the greatest 3 point shooting forwards of all time. I don't know if many of you knew this but Dirk Nowitzki recently just moved into 7th place on the all time scoring list. He is currently averaging about 23 PPG in his whole career. Nowitzki was part of a big three at one point and he did have good point guards, but Nowitzki has been the face of the Dallas Mavericks ever since he joined the league. He is a true all around player as he is a great scorer, great rebounder, and great 3 point shooter.

#36. Dwyane Wade SG Miami Heat
D-Wade is one of the most explosive players I've seen. One moment he is dribbling the ball down the court slowly, the next he is sprinting in for a terrific dunk. He has turned a franchise around and helped them become the best team in the NBA for a few years. Yes, he had LeBron James and Chris Bosh to help him win two championships, but I personally think Wade could have won both of them by himself. He has easily been a top 10 player in the league until this year. There is no way Dwyane Wade should not be on this list.

Well, that's all for now. Please let me know if you agree or not. Here is the next hint. What is the higher rank in the army? Is it the general or "The Admiral"?

Dwayne Wade won three championships and David Robinson is next - 2storm (3/17/2015)

Yes but I was meaning that he won two with James and Bosh. He did win one by himself though. - Bronson (3/17/2015)

When are going to make the next one - 2storm (3/17/2015)

I'm hoping to make the next one within a few days. I'm not sure the exact day though - Bronson (3/18/2015)
