It is always difficult to satisfy everyone on a top 10 all-time list, considering the legends who dominated the game. However, things might go south if you miss LeBron James and Kobe Bryant on your list. Incidentally, days after a 73-year-old NBA legend snubbed James, Bryant, and Stephen Curry from his all-time list, a former player fumed over him in a recent podcast.

The league has a rich history that expanded over 76 years. During these years, the NBA world has witnessed hundreds of extraordinary talents like Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, and Michael Jordan. Importantly, it could be a tedious task to satisfy everyone while making the list, especially if the active players are snubbed out of the conversation.

Former NBA Champion Julius Erving A. K. A ‘Dr. J’ stirred up the hoops community with his recent list. During a recent interview with Joy de Angela, the 1983 NBA Champion listed his all-time best players. The list included all the notable names from the 20th century, while it missed three notable icons from the 21st century. Especially LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, and Stephen Curry. Moreover, Atlanta Hawks star Trae Young expressed his disappointment via a tweet, following the list surfacing on the internet.

Furthermore, the debate reached the famous Gil’s Arenas podcast, featuring the former player Gilbert Arenas and his group of hosts. When the conversation on Dr. J’s top 10 list popped up, the panel fumed with opinions. One host criticized him for picking Karl Malone over Tim Duncan, stating that the latter won 5 rings. However, Arenas pointed out the legend’s age and said, “He didn’t probably didn’t watch the game since what 90 fu**ing 3 (1993).”

Following that, the panel went on to break down and criticize the controversial list.

Dr. J didn’t stop there. He also stirred up another controversy when he took a dig at Kevin Durant.

When Angela asked him about the ongoing Damian Lillard trade issue, he fumed over KD. He expressed his angst to players jumping teams. Even though he didn’t mind Lillard’s wish to trade, he definitely had issues with the Slim Reaper. He said, “Just wanting to hop around, how many times Durant is off the rack… OKC to Golden State to, where did he go after that?” However, Durant hasn’t responded to the harsh take on his career choices yet.
