With no hoops action on the calendar, ESPN stirred the pot with the release of their Top-74 NBA players of all-time list. NBA Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain led the Golden State Warriors near the top, ranking at No. 6.
A pair of recent Golden State championship teammates cracked the top-15. Stephen Curry slid in at No. 13 on the list with his fellow Most Valuable Player winner Kevin Durant right behind him at No. 14.
Outside of the top-15, the Golden State Warriors were represented by three other players on the list.
Rick Barry, Robert Parrish and Bernard King rounded out Golden State’s bid at No. 43, No. 61, and No. 69 on the list. Notable Golden State omissions included Klay Thompson, Chris Mullin, Draymond Green and Nate Thurmond.
When it comes to franchise representation across the list, USA Today’s HoopsHype compiled the numbers, and the Warriors ranked right in the middle at No. 15.
