The NBA finally finished its drip-by-drip release<\/a> of the NBA 75 Team. It turned out to be the NBA 76 Team because of a tie (apparently, they didn\u2019t think of taking it to a shootout). The result was 100% predictable. People are big mad. Some are blasting which NBA players<\/a> aren\u2019t on the team. Some take issue with the players who did make the cut. Feelings are hurt. Umbrage runs rampant<\/a> in the streets; it\u2019s mass hysteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That last part is untrue. The list did what the NBA hoped it would do. From that standpoint, it\u2019s an almost complete success. Why only almost? More on that in a bit. First, to paraphrase Sam Hinkie, let\u2019s dig into the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shockingly, every single member of the 50th-anniversary team is on the NBA 75 Team<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
