Will the best 50 players in basketball be dropping out of those places when other players come along?

Question

Like if kobe is named one of the top fifty players then which o the top players will drop

Answer 1

No. The deal was supposedly a 50th Anniversary coronation. Maybe in 20 years or so, they will promote a 75 best ever to coincide with a 75th Anniversary self-promotion. Maybe not all of the 50 would make that 75, but that 50 was a one-shot deal.
I'm sure that a "50 best ever" list would already differ from the one done those few years ago, though, and it would be ridiculous to pretend that those 50 will always be the best 50 ever.

Answer 2

I don't think any player will be dropped out of it. Remember that the 50 greatest players were chosen to coincide with the NBA's 50th anniversary. Earlier, during the league's 30th anniversary, 30 players were hailed as the greatest, and MJ and the other 90's greats were not on the list. But these 30 players were shoo-ins in the 50 greatest list in 1997. I think what will happen here is they will choose an additional 25 come the league's 75th year. Kobe will surely be on that list.

Answer 3

The NBA could never do that because it would show a lot of disrespect towards the players who worked so hard to make it into that select group. Instead, they will simply increase it to the 75 best players, then the 100 best, and so on, so as not to offend anyone, and to avoid the nearly impossible task of making a 50 best players list with a constantly increasing number of candidates.

Answer 4

I think if they dont increase the number some people will get knocked of like you Kobe is a shoe in the guy below me in not very smart. Kobe would replace like a Paul Arizin he has 16, 266 Kobe has over 19,000 sooo.

Answer 5

No, they will just have to increase the number of players from 50 to .......

Answer 6

Without increasing the number, it's inevitable.

Answer 7

Kobe would never be named that!

KOBE BRYANT SUCKS!
